Why is Leader ****** in Your Title?

RegentMan · Oct 6, 2003

When I tried to put Trade Leader in my title above my avatar, it came out Trade ******. Why is leader censored?

ainwood · Oct 7, 2003

There are a few terms that aren't allowed in titles, so as to allow differentiation between moderators / admins / 'leaders' and the mere mortals.

Octavian X · Oct 7, 2003

Case in point: my title is supposed to say 'Forum Idiot.' Therefore, 'forum' is one of those censored words.

Just do what I did in the DG and call yourself the Minister of Trade. Sounds fancier, anyway.

Makes sense. Thanks for the quick replies!

More of a case of preventing mere mortals fr pretending to be forum leaders/mods etc, to CFC newbs. :hammer:

That's why I'm restricted to be a panel insect. :cry:

Btw, you've spooned out the gaslp soup yet?

But why not to use Forvm or something like that, like in Latin(???)

Some newbie would be totally mixed up, if you did that.

From a similar thread a page or two back:

I assume that's only a short list of the words.

Zcylen · Oct 7, 2003

hey Padma, does the "forbidden words" include spanish? :mischief:

maybe I'll try "moderador"

Lefty really knows how to make loophoiles difficult to get through.

Note that the title is not necessarily removed....

I had the title

'rotaredoM'

for about 15 minutes, then, i saw lefty's post about getting banned, so i just made it the Best 444 Ever

well, that makes things clearer

although, I admit when I was a newbie I tried to write "moderador" :lol:

Think about all member titles that you're censoring!

I'm forum-ming
Go to vbulletin.org
Grand Commodore
Drink in moderation
Mod-dodging
Modeling
Administrting idiocy
Fearless leader

(I know that smiley-only posts are not allowed, but this has to be.)

I would have thought that you would have been able to get away with that as anyone reading it has to translate it and by then they will probably have some doubts about whether a real moderator would spell moderator backwards.

Yeah...

Actually, it was a cool idea!
