I remember talking about it in the first Shred Room over there but that thread is hidden now.

The reason they took the censor away from MMA was to make it simpler to link to URL's which had swearwords in them, which inlcudes plenty of artist and album names on the site.

I gotta ask an Admin about that.  Not that I care about swearing one way of the other, but it just is bizarre they would have different rules for two music sites with large numbers of co-users.  I'd love to hear the official rationale.

That sucks Jim, but looks like WF was on top of things....won't cost you anything except inconvenience.

Yes, it certainly can be that ridiculous.

Issues of censorship usually are.

I didn't know that.  LOL  I can't fathom the rationale for it.

It is because of some of the band names, I think.

The fact that they censor it on here is f**king stupid, anyways.

Sorry to hear that.  We just finally got rid of almost all of our snow.  There's supposed to be a small amount Monday night, though.

I know what you mean.  It gets very hard not to use the same adjectives when you write a lot of reviews. 

One thing I do occasionally, mostly for fun, is make up my own adjective to describe a sound.  Probably irritates people, but what the hell.  It amuses me.
