Censors now?

[Fresababi]

I was just wondering, as I was reading a oneshot in the Poems, Songs, Fiction section (Bleeding Love - Cherezadda just to name)I noticed that there were asterisks at the swears (though there were only a few) and at the h..ellos.

are there censors in the forum now? Hehe Because I don't get it still. I'm just saying, how are we supposed to say '****o' in the Welcome Wagon if it's censored, hehe? Is this going to be a permanent change or some 'testing-it-out stuff' is going on? Gosh I have so many questions lol. Yeah, but I just hope I'm hallucinating right here hehe (I'm sick lol) so..yeah excuse my curiosity and my need of guidance because I don't get it lol.

Danke for the help. :]

Yep, the forum is censored again now. It was before we switched board services, but when we changed over, we let it lapse thinking that maybe people wouldn't swear like sailors.

We were wrong.

So the censoring is back in place. And hello is fixed. :)

And hello is fixed. :)

Thank god for that XD

When I wrote "Hello" yesterday and it came out all asterisks-ed I thought I had broken something XD

I don't understand why we need censors, though.
Anyone care to explain?

Well there was an announcement thread for the reasoning of it.
