Okay. This "feature" on the PA Forum needs to go away. I can see why the censorship is there but it should not affect URLs! >:( Please contat Matx and convince him to get rid of this asinine censorship feature. We're not little children. From what I've seen most PA users are actually old people. xD Like 60+ Come on! It's not like the censored words are offensive slurs... no. Just simple, mild, swear words. Gaahhh! I can't even link Tatsuro Yamash*ta's Wikipedia page! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatsuro_Yamash*ta" rel="nofollow - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatsuro_Yamash*ta look! ------------- On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education.

If you can't type it in a post, you shouldn't have it in a URL either. My thought was, what if people (and not just adults but teens) were being directed to some asinine porn site? Better safe than sorry, I suppose. Perhaps the person that owns the site you tried to link should behave on an adult level and not type immature inanities if he wants his site viewed. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

That is the least of this site's problems and is but a minor oddity. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

Yeah, if its blocking furry porn links, it appears to be doing its job even more effectively than it was even intended. There is an admin tool in the background that allows you to modify typed text. The default is the ubiquitous format of keeping the first and last letters and filling the rest with asterisks. I actually thought about adding the word "boomer" to the banned list so that it would replace the text with "respected elder". ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

I loathe most forms of vensorships, but this one has got me laughing Sometimes the system is too wise for its own good it used to be that when we wrote M@X's name, it would get unerlined as if it was an e-mail address (because of the "@" in there). ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

A possible workaround is to use a URL shortener. Like this: https://t.ly/71Bgk" rel="nofollow - https://t.ly/71Bgk ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

But think about all the children who do love prog. The two year olds must be protected when they're discovered the joys of Yes, Gentle Giant and even Univers Zero. Such words would scar their souls for eternity and turn them into kamakaze suicide bombers.
