    I just tried it in a PM to myself but it didn't filter the word.

    Indeed. Yet I get a warning for it and moderators explaining that it's my fault.

    I don't get what it's doing... :S It should always filter the word even with something else before it/after it, surely?

    But it isn't your fault. The system is there to block words, it won't necessarily prevent you from using them. The word filter is used during the post process, everything you post goes through it so blaming you is avoiding taking the blame on themselves/filter.

    Thats what I tried telling them. I expected the forum the filter the word, when it should have, but it didn't. Oh it's now my fault for posting inappropriate language when the forum should have filtered it? :S It's not only the filter that needs revising...

    I agree; what's the point of having a filter if, when it fails to filter common swear words, you get in trouble/have to take the blame for it?

    You shouldn't be using naughty language on here anyway.

    A2. Don't swear - It really is as simple as it sounds.

    I never intended on using bad language. I assumed the forum would filter it, but before I know it I get an infraction.

    No, sorry Jamie & Jamesy.

    1) It is allowed to swear when the swearing is filtered.
    Example: I was late for work / For **** sake I would like it if in the first example not just the **** part but the complete 7 letter word was filtered by our word censor, but unfortunately it doesn't work like that. These posts should not be edited.
    And with being one of the most common swear words, I would say that rule applies there. It wasn't Chris's fault; he was infracted within three minutes which was unfair since he didn't get a chance to edit it out. It was an obvious mistake.
