Simple. The language filters on the board look for combinations of letters strung together, in this case it is Angle Side Side, or the law of cosins. It replaces them with what is widely considered to be a less vulgar word. French usually has that context, so that's why you get the FrenchificatION.

OK, but the whole thing may confuse newcomers.
They might not understand what "password", "class", or "assignment" mean.

I know why exactly it does that. The option in the censored words list that says "match whole words only" is turned off. If is was turned on, then common words such as those that Lava tried to list would not get censored.

Okay, this is it what it says on the admin thingy, or at least something similar...
When you choose to only censor whole words, if a censored word appears within another word it will not be censored. For example, if you censor "hi" to change to "hello" then "high" will change to "hellogh" unless censor whole words is enabled.

Now, UltraLoco, I was mad only 'cuz new people would get confused about words like "clderriere".
We don't need the thing to get confused such words, but we also don't need violence either.

To summarize: - The settings checked the letter combinations and not the individual words themselves.
- The example case was Angle Side Side, or the law of cosins.
- The French version is widely considered to be less offensive, regardless of what the French have to say about it.
- The settings have been changed so you can plan your assassinations in an accepting enviornment.
This is the sort of thing clichés are made of. Clamp it. |
