Censorship of words

With all due respect there seems to be a little bit of unfair censorship going on.
Celtic is fine but if you type the other side then it changes to Celtic too ...
Has the forum taken to dictating the same as the other place has.
Or is it some power trip by a Narrowminded celtic supporting mod ?
There has to be balance after all other wise you should change the name to the other place too.

I fully understand the need to censor certain words it keeps the board within the family realms of entertainment but to censor Team names is a joke.

It is allegedly a GLASGOW forum ... But to some the west of the city does not exist.

I am sure Fjord can explain his need to be doing this !

Well I just took it as a wee joke.

Now't to do with me mate I have no control over the content of the word censor on here you'll have to take that up with either James73 or Scallopboy it's their website.

And for the record I have little interest in football let alone any particular team, well apart from the Scotland squad.

All word censors are done as a bit of a laff for a while until the novelty wears off. Come back in a few weeks and when you type C e l t i c it will probably have changed to Partick Thistle.
wee minx

Rangers ......ah'll just type SREGNAR ..or GERS..or WEARRAPEEPIL

 Sorry Fjord I just took it as the fact you were on the board when i was on that it was you who were responsible.
I Kinda came home last night with a heavy heart after witnessing another needless young loss on the roads and i think i might have brought that to the board too.
So apologies to everyone else too.

Thanks for the suggestions about replacing other words Minxy, I was just concerned that there seemed to be an unfair balance in word censorship and I just chose last night to address it.

Firstly, it was scallopboys fault...

Secondly, he set it up to replace Celtic with Rangers and Rangers with Celtic.
Unfortunately this seemed to confuse the swear filter and because the Celtic
one was added first, it ignored the Rangers one. Or something.

As far as I'm aware scallopboy has no interest in football - he went to the last
Scotland match... - and it was set up as a bit of a laugh. I've removed them
for the time being.

Aye, I operate an equal opportunities forum. I ignore all complaints regardless of race, skin colour, creed, nationality, religion, sexual orientation or disability.
