I know how a censor works, cos I've been an administration at a board once. You type what you want the word to be replaced with. So, my idea is that to keep people from getting irked when Derby edits their posts and puts in a :) or (/), why not have the words replaced by others?

For example, ****ed off could easily be changed to ticked, and retain its meaning.

There are multiple other soft-replacement words that could be used.

That could be really amusing. I can think of some hilarious substitutions.

Yes! Use synonyms that are considered more appropriate, or heck, even funny. Derby won't edit them, and they will retain their meanings.

Replacing (--) with fish would be quite amusing. "me and this girl were fishing in the back of my car'

Derby: Severe filter bypass edit. Refrain from doing this again. This resulted in a warning.

that sure is ironic. ;P

But yes, that's exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of. minus the warning. (;

Really, just don't use such crude language and replace it with something else, like ticked, annoyed, etc. It results in much less content edits, retains the meaning, and doesn't offend anyone. Magical. ;)

Idea for new cencoring system:

I am going to kick your (Derby:) NOSE ! I'll shove your (Derby:) NOSE up your (Derby:) NOSE like (Derby:) NOSE(Derby:) NOSE(Derby:) NOSE, (Derby:) NOSE(Derby:) NOSE!

Oooh, such profanity Radium! :p The "soft replacement" idea is actually a good idea. Maybe you oughta bring that up with the admins.

Nose is the coolest cencor word! It is a noun AND a verb! And on a more inapropriate note, it sticks out and has a hole in it, so most cencored setances will accept it.

Wow, this topic is turning out to be the exact opposite of the original intention.
