    Default why is this word filtered?

    why is the word "Hero'ine" filtered? it means a female hero, whereas heroin should be filtered seeing as thats the drug name.

    Well we do have to protect against people trying to avoid the filter and I assume that's what they were trying to do. However, I have to agree with you, I think it should be unfiltered

    It should be unfiltered, but not many ppl actually use the word hero'ine anyway do they?

    Thats filtered because the name of the drug makes up the first 6 letters of hero'ine and the forum filters cant distinguish between a filtered word and one with an extra letter.

    You wont even use that word anyway so quit complaining.

    Neil you can actually in VB's put them in {} I think and it will only filter the word,I'm pretty sure it's that.

    Yeah but in VB you can wrap words around {}'s and only the actual word gets filtered,so if you had a filtered word it would only filter say Heróin and not Heróine.
