Autocensor

Fix'd.

The censoring has always been eye-roll worhty. I routinely use common words at work with my managers that would get censored and get me a warning here.

On the Age of Empires Heaven forums, one user, and major mod and scenario contributor to AoE3, got permanently banned almost entirely on, "repeatedly circumventing the language filter by conspicuous mispellings," (although using the name of an adherent of a particular sect of Islam for the, "s-word," may have been the biggest contributor, I suspect)..

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I seem to have stumbled on one of these when I mentioned I was "kookoo for Cocoa Puffs" but used the actual name of the bird (also a type of clock). I thought it was kinda hilarious actually. And yes, I know the reference dates me terribly.

A [REDACTED] is a man whose wife is having an affair with another man.

The question is, are you being censored for an insensitive reference to the mentally ill, or an infamous reference to a form of adultery (exacerbated to an attack on someone's manhood).

Edit: Just saw Boneyduck had said the same thing, paraphrased.

I think I was censored because someone is a Lucky Charms fan.

I'm pretty sure it was the adultery one. As someone who suffered from panic attacks when I was younger (and this was before Prozac had come into wide usage), the parent of a kiddo on the autistic spectrum, and a wife institutionalized due to severe depression, I'm not one to take mental illness lightly, though I find humor to be a good coping mechanism. It's a brutal world out there.

Doesn't one mean Coco Puffs. Lucky Charms are, "magically delicious," and a bad stereotype to those of Irish decent rather than the mentally ill. Both have negative ratings in being nutritious.
