Is there any way to loosen up the word censoring in thread titles? Some commonly used words are getting censored. Recent examples: entity, class, and titles. I tried to use titles in the title of this thread and was told it was censored.
I had to see it for myselfâŚ
Title contains the following censored words: tit, ass
that is ridiculousâŚ

Trump has appropriated all the words, including all the good words up to and almost including 5 letters. There is now a tiny trump trademark on all the best words.

This, and prior discussions of the forum censoring really begs the question: âwho is the prude who is creating these lists of bad words and imposing them on us?â. I donât want this forum to become a haven of foul-mouthed trolls, but this censorship of letter sequences embedded in other words is absurd!

We do need to realize that school children do come in the forum looking for help. We should not be potty mouth in a public forum.
But,⌠this bug is ridiculous !
I think it would work better if sages could hilight offense words and right-click and choose a âadd to blacklistâ command, rather that some computer trying to discern that we are hiding naughty words inside other words.

âPCâ rears itâs ugly head again
The problem is that the censor is only looking for those words and not looking to see if those words are contained within larger words.
For instance, âclassâ and âentityâ contain profane words but of course they are not profane themselves.
Oh and @TIG, if you insist on defaming me on this forum I will be forced to take action against you. Stop it now.
Iâd be happy to PM you my phone number so you can say whatever you have to say to my ear directly.
Well we have a nice list of bad words⌠not sure if Alex put them in before she left or if Discourse snuck them in, but âassâ was right there in the middle. I removed it⌠lets see if itâs less of a pain in the ass to say ass now.
This is a bit off-topicâŚ
BUTâŚ
@MikeO
Please stop being an ass
You started this âname callingâ.
In another thread, I simply explained to you that there were probably better [simpler] ways of structuring your model and display, and thereby getting your desired result.
But you seem to refuse or even acknowledge that this might be possible.
Instead you resorted to profanity.
Thatâs your problem, not ours.
Meanwhile in another thread @Box suggested that you might take heed of some straightforward advice to address another issue, and again you insulted him.
I cannot understand a member [like yourself] who has a problem and who asks for help, but when true help and advice is given, you retaliate as if you have been attacked. Badmouthing the respondent - showing no sign of thankfulness or even a well argued opposition to their advice.
You seem to have an attitude problem.
You are in danger of becoming a troll âŚ
Please learn to step back and take a deep breath before you post ill-considered comments and make a complete â â â â of yourself in front of every one.

â â â â is also title/post censored, but parse is not post-censored !
Use italics !

Another simple word is tit found in words like attitude etcâŚ
There are many more - I simply listed âassâ as an example.
However, saying the lone word âassâ in a post is likely to be an insult rather than a reference to a donkey, so perhaps that lone word should be censored - like a lone â â â â - which only means the one thing ?
Or even perhaps those starting with assh or ass-h or arseh or â â â â -h etc
Whoever set up the list needs to think before they censor, and use sensible âmatchesââŚ
Please donât feel itâs now your responsibility to figure out every swear word and how to use it. Based on how often this subject comes out⌠this is feeling like mountains out of molehills.
Hey Dave,
Could you send me some example links for those offending posts? As this thread is suggesting, entity, class and titles are all working fine within and suggest that it should be universal. If there is a bug thatâs just doing it in titles then Iâll have to pester the folks at Discourse to see whatâs run amok.
Thanks!
@Jody for my first reply, I simply tried to edit Daveâs Thread Title by adding âentity, class, and titlesâ âŚ
just tried it again and got
Title contains the following censored words: tit
ass has gone from the censorshipâŚ

This was the latest one: Sketchup tool cl@ss name - #5 by matthewBirckbichler At first I thought the OP had misspelled âClassâ and I attempted to edit it to fix it. Thatâs when I found it was being censored. Someone else inserted @.
The other one I saw yesterday had something to do with Entity info. I canât find that one now.
See post on the forum now using YouTube vidoes. If you have the player set to auto play then at the end of the post playing the play list starts and some shown are border line porn. Bet that goes over big in than schools.
See post number 32 in this post for example, make sure auto play is set Gearing Up with Sketchup - #31 by john_mcclenahan
@jody here is an example from yesterday. A thread in the Ruby API category discussing classes for tools. The OP had to leave the âaâ out of âclassâ, but I edited it and stuck an â@â in there:
Twas me!

Well, thatâs silly. Iâve fixed âtitâ and other words that might be part of a âreal wordâ so hopefully weâve nipped it in the bud. I had though the internet had gotten smart enough to recognize the difference⌠obviously this Discourse censor mechanism is a stopgap solution and hardly comprehensive.
Have you read the info I provided in post #17 above?
