I just noticed that my signature now shows me as a B***ist rather than a "B a s s i s t"; is that a problem with an overactive "bad word filter"? I'm not sure that the "donkey word" needs to be hidden anyway but it's certainly going to be confusing if it's picked up even embedded in a word, as ay-double-ess is quite a common combination of letters.

ps. quick experiment... could I get a way with p***ing variables in a message? It might only affect sig files.

Funny.
I was reading the posts where people were praising kassetra & noticed it there (the "junior member" thread).

Edit: my edit turned into a double-post

Seems to be fixed now, we can properly praise kassetra now :D

there are several words with 'the donkey word' embedded, and it looked weird :)

If you all knew how many times my name gets screened because of a bad word filter gone haywire... you'd all recognize me as k***etra or just call me ketra. LOL

The really funny thing is when people used to call me up on the phone at work and totally mess my name up...

I've been told versions of my name that would send the FCC censors crazy.
heh. my claim to fame I guess. :D
