I've directed my answer over to the Admin board.
> The auto * feature does not effect the word jackass.
You're right and thanks for pointing that out. In fact, I actually tested it myself and meant to only include the other word in my post. I neglected to edit it properly. That's called Posting While Way Too Tired, I guess.
> Please retract this PBC.
I'm going to leave it as is for the moment, because of the use of the m.......f......word. The system seems to be placing the asterisk in an odd place, leaving the vulgar part as is. I don't know why. I'll check into it more tomorrow, or ask one of the other deputies for some help/clarification.
The issue may be whether a PBC is still appropriate, even if the auto * feature places the * incorrectly, when the word used is commonly known to be vulgar. In the interest of consistency, I want to see if this has happened before.10derHeart
