Hi Ed, I was wondering, would it not be possible to let the preview show which words would be starred out (asterisked) should you try to post'em?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Isn't it! I'd rather replace the star word in advance than do the charades retroactively. And it's not always easy to know, beforehand, which words won't post. Honest it isn't, Ed. Take this word for instance, I even looked it up before trying to post it the other week and I found it wasn't considered vulgar - and yet on AB it is. How's a person to know?
Also, as Legend just proved it's not rocket science to trick the robots if that's what you wanna do. Legislators, teachers et cetera are aware that it's demoralising to pass laws and rules which you cannot uphold. Perhaps you should just let us use whichever words we want to use, Ed, and concentrate on how we use them, i.e. if we're being abusive or not.
Or as I said starr us out beforehand. Your choice. Just, somehow, please improve the present system which is turning us ABers into involuntary game show contestants ha ha...

It's them ornithologists, BillySugger - they think they can get away with anything. Erm� and they can, too�!
The schoolmarms who inflict thiis infantile bowdlerization software on sites like this, + the site administrators who commission ans/or adopt it are silly asses, i.e. donkeys, but seem to think silly asses are silly arses, and so asininely bowdlerize the former but not the latter. (Being of the transatlantic persuasion, you see.)
