I was curious to see if you post a link in a spoiler, kind of like a check against opening up anything that isn’t “work safe”.

Saw it on another board. Thought it might work here. . .

Tripler  
Aaaah, and I see the text is even “highlighted” a little bit. Interesting.

P.S. the whole point of a spoiler is to give people the choice to see it. Surely a link does the same thing?

Please explain what the hell is going on before I lose my mind. Is the word ‘mom’ being censored?

It shows up for me.

Indented text.

So what gives with the “mom” censorship? I see it in some posts in this thread, and not in others. . .

Hold on, here… Was **xash** ’s censored word “mom” (female counterpart to “dad”), or was it “ass” (a donkey)?

And will this go through? In all honesty, I typed out both defined words.

OK, both of those went through just fine. Perhaps the hampster has decided to passive-aggressively censor out randomly selected words? Funny, I don’t recall seeing a \*\*\*\*er thread in the past few days…

I formally request permission to post George Carlin’s ‘7 Dirty Words you can’t say on T.V.’ to see what the hell happens.

Alternatively, if this isn’t the proper forum, I’ll do it in the Pit tonight–solely as a test.

Is “mom” different to mom - i.e. do the quotes fool the censor into letting the naughty words past??

“ass”  
ass
