If you’re testing for some form of “auto-censorship” – as in, certain bad words being replaced with asterisks or some such – that doesn’t exist here.

That’s why we have Moderators (and Administrators). If you’re a jerk, you’re gone.  
(Please note, I am not calling you [or anyone] a jerk or anything. Just saying. I sure wish we didn’t have to disclaim every little thing we said here. Seems a shame to have to do that, but lately, seems necessary.)

You know your disclaimer might make a good sig.

Note, however, that you are not allowed to say \*\*\*\*\*\*.

On another note, it seems that Google has picked up on the “Hell” in the OP for the ads…

If the Google Ads pick up on the keywords of the postings, maybe this thread will generate ads for George Carlin’s “The Seven Dirty Words”.

Hey **Cryptoderk**!

You may not be censored, but you _have_ established yourself as a very dubious cyberneighbor.
