Editing the Censor
As most of you know, a few months ago I got frustrated with AcaCandy over Censored words and trying to express myself while keeping my posts PG13. Later that week I created the biggest forum acronym sense LOL: <CWLMST> (Candy Won't Let Me Say That)

Sense then, members and mods alike have started using this acronym in place of expletives, helping keep the forum looking clean by cutting down on Ces**r Work arounds and also allowing members to express themselves. <CWLMST> has even evolved into a thread game: http://forums.techguy.org/showthread.php?t=421729


I know this idea will get shot down faster then a mallard in duck session, but what the <CWLMST>. I propose changing the output of the Censor to <CWLMST>. If someone types a censored word, instead of replacing the word with ** replace it with <CWLMST>!

Well, What do ya think!!

I thought about this awhile ago but thought it was up to you whether you wanted your creation (lol ) to be put to work against the profanity

vB does give me the option to change what character appears, but it's only one character. For example, I could use - instead of *... so, even if we wanted to use CWLMST, we couldn't.
