Is there a guide on what words one can and can't put in BF?

I generally stay out of foo and post pretty much in the 41 (road) but it seems foo is a better place to ask.

Just as George Carlin had a comedy bit on the words you can't say on TV, is there the equivalent for BF?

Doug

edit: for example, can you say crap? Apparently yes, even though this word is as offensive as sh_t to brits.

If you go advanced, with thread replies, you can readily test words using the preview post button.

Can you use individual words, like suck and dick, but not use them together?

How the hell did you get a multi syllable word like ********** past the filter Botto? I prefer to think of the filter as serendipitous.

You mean it might work for Botto's or PCAD's but not yours or mine?

Thanks, but I was hoping for a list of words that you CAN use.

You'll know, because they won't asterisk out. ;)

If you're trying to be opaque, you may use the word capricious.

Ever notice how most profanity has something to do with sex or excrement? (I would say **** but you can't say that, hence excrement....I also thought of saying scat but that might offend the scattante crowd).

Can you say fanny? I think that means female privates in the U.K., right?

What about *****?

(edit - asterisked word is the american slang, frequently comes before cat - can't say it here)

That's crazy. What if I want to talk about a discharge from my saddle sore, and I want to use the word for pus-like, that ends in "sy??"

Yeah, but I want to say my sore is Pus-sy! What's so wrong with that?

you want weird filtering? see what happens if you try to change your user title to "banned". Also, ****, piss, cock, ****, ****, hell, damn.

if you use this colour on one of the letters in a filtered word, it'll look okay and it won't get filtered

I used ***** once in a more expressional-sort-of way and found out it was on the list. So I changed it to prostitute and that was okay.

You may be able to say "Ho" for shorthand. Although that has slightly different connotations from *****.

I was saying that certain political officials are *****s for tax money... so I don't know if ho would have worked.

And the color trick works just fine. A winner as always, jsharr. :)

I tried to post a cave painting of a bare breasted prehistoric female (http://img2.travelblog.org/Photos/1449/42886/f/227010-Cave-painting-Sigiriya-0.jpg) and the filter kicked it out. Made a lame posting even lamer...

Wow, does the filter have eyes too? The polish team photo always gets through somehow.

Good thing this forum doesn't have a "Podium Girls" section like roadbikereview does.

Or maybe it's a sad thing.
