Site is blocking stuff too much!

Why is it blocking *******-R? Is this a bad word or something? I think that the site should not block this word because it describes a group of people without being racist or vulgar. What gives? Why is the word that represents huge coffee can exhausts, giant wings on the trunk, and bodykits with undercar neons, blocked? What word is acceptable? Please help.

Darn it! Still blocking the word. Let's try R!I!C!E!R. Or maybe R.I.C.E.R.

I guess that'll have to work.

I think you need to review our rules:
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/prob...uidelines.html

Under the Agree and Objectionable Message clauses, users are also prohibited from:

* Posting insulting words, phrases, comments, or anything off-topic.
* Name calling.
* Posting just to get your post count high.
* Substituting symbols for censored words and/or phrases.
As it is on our filter list, and has been for years, it suggests that it doesn't belong on a largely tech-only website and is merely used to spark conflicts, along with being over used.

Please review and read the rules posted above. Bypassing our filter, just because you may not agree with it, is not acceptable.

Thanks
