A replacement for those nasty swear words...<TWIBAT> is here!
There seem to be an increasing number of asterisks appearing on TSF these days, as users find many of their posts being censored. This is only right and proper of course but sometimes innocent words do fall foul of the system. I would therefore like to offer an alternative word - one that can be safely used by anyone without risking offending others.
The word is <TWIBAT> and it stands for This Word Is Banned At TSF. So now, rather than use a bad word, simply use <TWIBAT> instead. For example "I think the price of beer is too <TWIBAT> high!" And there you are - no-one offended yet everyone gets your point.

Ye I would normally use [Content Edited] anyway.
Like "I think the [content edited] old lady is a [content edited] who did that to a 11 year old boy!" Or better we're provided with the emoticon that says it all!

twibat that, I'll say whatever I want!
(just testing the system, seeing if anyone's offended) Kind of reminds me of Battlestar Galactica, they can get away with lots of bad language because for them it's pronounced frak

I just thought, how about you put bots on the forum, where when someone puts swear words in, make them automaticly change it to TWIBAT.
I know it's possible, 'cos another forum did it. |

<TWIBAT> is nice but it's all over the keyboard. What ever happened to good ol' !@#$%
Much easier to type than that <TWIBAT> word.
