Mods,
Can you remove C I A L I S from the banned list? It keeps hitting "s p e c i a l i s t", which appears often here and in sig blocks.

It does this: spe******t.

Thanks

This is a case of Big Brother going too far. It's not like c i a l i s is a bad word.

I'm sure that word is banned because of spammers.

Absolutely 100% correct...

The problem was corrected so now we can say specialist or especialist or widegetcialist or anything else containing that word... but not ****** itself.
Thanks for the note

Enjoy,

That look ugly on my computer and I'm not sure why.

sorry about that...

Fixed.
Sorry 'bout that... You posted at the exact point in time I ran an 'experiment'. Guess which letters were missing from your post

Enjoy,

Can you fix the word a m b i e n t while you're at it? That word gets ******* out also.

It's used in reference to the "surrounding temperature" in specs all the time.

Sure, ambient is now good but ****** is not.

Let me know if any others...

Hehe, I had a laugh with this.

In days gone by, when the family was much younger, I installed "net nanny" software on the home PC.

2 days later my son complained he couldn't get the football (soccer) results.

Seems the software complained about a wellknown Yorkshire town called Scunthorpe, and the London team Arsenal.

I might have to edit this post.....didn't need to

daba - I'm surprised that worked. Usually kids tend to be "computer smarter" than their parents, plus they have more time and interest in such things...
