I don't know.
evilx wordsx wouldx bex trivialx tox insertx.
I'm usually not a fan of "nannying", but since Paizo decided to use one, it should not be entirely trivial to circumvent. (It is, but I'm not telling)
Poultry-battles may suffer because of it, but the filters don't really go far.
Could this be set to 'whole word only' please?
I wanted to refer to a sporting contest between adult male poultry in one of my PbP games, and ran foul of the filter.
Should that be ran a fowl of the filter.... sorry I couldn't help myself...
No harm no fowl... Must stop I don't want to put you in a fowl mood...
Sorry :-)

She should stop grousing. She's probably a complete chicken.
Although I do agree that the US is not the only market and Paizo shouldn't put all of their eggs in one basket.
So, it's an eggsellent point, after all, people outside of the US shell out for these products too!
ahem... I'll get my coat.
I once knew a young lass from Sc#@#horpe...
not always.
Poor, poor town
I know of at least one newsletter that refers to their local football team as Firewall FC.
Funny how Arsenal doesn't seem to have that problem.
Oh, there are other things the nanny filter mangles too.
For example, Oliver Twist and the Artful Dodger both reported to their boss, Fagin. Who it should be noted was totally straight.

I guess that's better than having your last name changed from Gay to Homosexual...

This is why technology isn't always a good thing.
edit-should have seen that coming
now i wanna know what the trope was...
I still don't get it. Did the filters do their job in preventing humour?

Characters in my PbPs are continually being censored for cocking their heads to the side.
Funnily enough, they can dick about to their heart's content.
I'd complain, but frankly I couldn't be arsed.
EDIT: Wow, it loocks like they can cock their heads all they like now!
EDIT 2: Or not...
it rhymes with a word that means "to kick"
still cant find that trope. :/ i remade the url to http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/punthorpeProblem and replaced the 'p' with a c and got nowhere.
like finding the number of licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop, the world may never know. ;/

Looks like the filter is getting better.
Most of the time, setting them to 'whole word' means that you can have cockfights, cockpits and people cocking their weapons... (wonder how that sentence will turn out?)
The filter hasn't changed significantly in a while. We may have adjusted a word or two in the last five years, but that's about it.

It might just depend on how you write it then; a character has no problem cocking her weapon, but runs afoul of the filter if he cocks his weapon. A character can go to a cockfight but not a cock-fight.
I don't agree with that particular word being censored at all, but some care in phrasing can get around the problem in most cases.
Poor roosters...
It's even sadder, too, if you remember the evolution of the language and WHY the word "rooster" was invented. And now we HAVE to use it...
The puritans won...
[/amused and overdramatic but still has a point]
::tests:: Pullet. Cockerel. Hen.
[edit] So it's only male chickens over one year we can't talk about, I guess... Well if your group wants to bet on fights among young roosters the filter will accept it, apparently...
What's a rooster...?
It' s a portmanteau word combining "roo" (a baby kangaroo, properly a joey) with "booster" (a sort of supplementary cushion used to turn a regular chair into a high chair for a very small child).
A "rooster" is thus a sort of prosthetic for mother kangaroos to put in their pouches so that a young "roo" can see out the top without digging his hind feet into mama's tummy.

You're a clever one, Murphy, but I'll catch you out one of these says. Just you wait!
Here ya go.Ah! Much better. I wasn't sure which letters were extra and which weren't from the filtering.
Well, if you can't snigger, at least you can say that the nanny is being niggardly with the words she allows.

I lol because it's true.

Am I bad for sniggering at the following line?;
"It means a lot to me," the 25-year-old Homosexual said. "I'm glad my body could do it, because now I know I have it in me."

It could be worse, we could still be living in the medireview period. Think of all the statementist paintings we would miss out on. And we would still be stuck riding or chreviews to the local game store.

On this side of the pond, a 'snicker' is a chocolate bar! With nuts in. Or so my daughter tells me - I don't care for chocolate.Grrr!
They're Marathon bars!
And always will be!<shakes fist at the uncaring sky...>
Ah chocolate grognards... The second most delectable soul for Devils to eat (1st Edition Grognards are the most dleectable of course...) ;)
