Default This is Ridiculous

Ok, this is the first time I’ve ever seen this.
I was replying to a song in the Song Title Thread. The singer’s name was Leroy Van **** and the Forum basically blanked out the last part of his last name. C’mon, what are they going to do if someone mentions actor Dick Van ****’s name??
When did this start?

The forum software has no way to know the difference between that last name and those who like to use the word in an offensive manner. Atleast not without going through extensive examples. Then that leaves other cases.

This isn't new. You've also been around long enough to know that this Help section is for those needing help with account issues, forum usage, etc., and is not for Moderation concerns or complaints:
