The censors On Ala
So. Been noticing this for a while now. I heard from a few people that it was a joke? I don't know. Since I don't stalk the Chat, and I don't recall ever seeing anything about the censors in news, I haven't a clue when or why they appeared.
All I know is they're frustrating and, for lack of a better word, stupid.
roosterer Spaniel? I can't even say C.ocker Spaniel? Hello Alacrity, you've an item that has the word c.ock right in it, making adverting a peac.ock item quite annoying. Which is unfortunate for those who don't know about this silly censor when they go to advertise.
Now, the aadyn's boyfriend censor? That's what had me thinking maybe this was a joke. Why else would they censor H.arry Potter? Okay.
Haha.
Joke over, please. Anyone else flat out sick of this? Are there other words that were censored? I figured it'd pass when the joke is over, assuming its a joke. It... hasn't passed. What I would love to know is, is this some joke that's been dragged on or is Ala seriously going to start censoring words?
What do you all think of these censors? Funny or annoying?

:o Well thank you very much!<br /> <br /> I agree that it was funny back when they first implemented it but it'd been left that way for so long, the funnyness had long since passed. xD Glad to see it fixed!

I can take that one out as well, it's easy to do.<br /> <br /> I left it cause Robyn and Aadyn thought it was funny when they put it in. I'm sure they won't mind it being taken out.<br /> <br />

I agree on the H.arry P.otter thing. It was funny for a couple days way back when, but now it's a bit aggravating, and really doesn't need a censor. :P

Yeah the censoring of Ha.rry Potter is quite annoying :/<br /> <br /> However I thank you Wysper for fixing the other two.

Thank you Wysper. xD That's so much better.<br /> <br /> Now then for my next worry. Is H.arry Potter going to be left as is? If so. Are the Admins going to start censoring other names of celebrities or popular books/movies they don't like? How about Justin Bieber? >_> But seriously, it was cute for a while but if they're going to be making a habit of this... Well, I dread the day.

You guys are right, and some of the words should be changed to be able to be posted due to items here on Alacrity.<br /> <br /> I will not remove the filter, as it can sometimes be helpful.<br /> <br /> However, I have amended it.<br /> <br /> Peacock<br /> Chinchilla<br /> <br /> Can now be typed without filter. :-)<br /> <br /> ^..^<br /> Wysper<br /> <br />

Also, I'm used to calling a male rooster its proper name. Had to quit irl because of perverts and can't do it on Ala because the children's eyes might bleed. I totally understand censoring curse words because of the nature of chat, but it should be limited to curse words.<br /> <br /> Also, Aadyn's Boyfriend is because Robyn harbours an unnatural loathing for H.arry Potter.
