I tried to define JimBob as a small feline beginning with P, but it said that I had swearified too. I don't understand what it thought I was trying to say but what I meant was big softy.

My son tried to write the phrase 'wet water' on a forum but it said he had sweared too. I think the computer has a dirty mind. This last one is hard to spot.

In the US that word has demeaning, rather crude connotation. Probably why it is on the "naughty" list.

On my site I can censor whatever words I want and replace them with anything. The possibilities are endless!

I can even call functions depending on what word is entered. I use that to keep track of how many times members swear and if they transgress too much I can send them an automatic warning or even bar them without having to lift a finger.

Pretty clever, huh!  [^]

I doubt it is clever - you don't know how to configure the "banned words" function. Just because it is there doesn't mean it is used by you.

Not so. I'm in the process of re-designing and re-coding the entire site. The censor routine was there but it was very limited. I re-wrote it and added the code to save info to the database and issue the warnings/bans. It will be in my next update.
