They dont blank it out it's censured by forums. But remove S and dly from the word and see what you come up with.

No but there was teh funny story about a misconigured intreanl profanity filter that ate all of their mail from their own domain  ========= "I am not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why can`t we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem fix its self |

I've been surprised by the bad word filter frequently, some pretty PG-14 words run afoul of it.

in a game that promotes and encourages the playerbase to do scams, rip offs, thefts, grief, kill, and even selling slaves....they suddenly have an issue with some 'words'....
makes me wonder about CCP's real values and morals.

You can kill and destroy all you want, but there's no need to bring unpleasantness into it, and there's no reason to promote profanity in a game, it does little to enhance the experience.
And, griefing is against the EULA, quit your uninformed rambling kthx.

One is part of a ruleset for a game. The other is a word that could get them sued (at least, it could if they were an American company). They're just covering their ass, like any company would do.

It's probably simply that they don't want profanity associated with EVE and CCP. I mean, people swear all the time in-game. But, when it comes to the eyes of John Q. Public, they don't come and see a bunch of incesent ramblings by somebody cussing every other word.
And, on a personal note, if you have to cuss, then cuss, but for the most part, cussing in type only helps to dimish your cause. --- --- --- ---

by US law, they are not responsible for what YOU say (sadly it is even a protected right to be able to say even 'bad' things). But yes, a company can reserve the right to remove the offensive matterial, but they are never legaly liable for it since it is a public forum.
I agree that hate speech, racial slurs,and even sexual explicit launguage should be culled.
But to take the editing to the point that ccp has, editing parts of words that have a sequence of letters that somehow makes it a bad word. One such word is "c o c k p i t" , the piloting area of a vessel, is*****pit according to ccp. same as the other snig name that has part of a racial slur sequence of letters, but within the whole name, is not bad, wrong, or insulting to anyone.
While they promote violence, racial undertones, imoral behavior, in the game (not as the main focus, but is still part of the game), they censor the forums to the point it irritates many people. Why? CCP doesn't wanna be seen with cussing people in the forum or game, but they want the game to have a bunch of sensless killing, grief, theft, scamming, all those upstanding things society wants for us?
No one wants a forum/game full of hateful, racial slur slinging trolls with fulger mouths, but there sure is a line that is crossed with censorship going too far, no matter where you live.

Actually.. I'm surprised to see that I'm the first person to bring this up.. But
nigardly isn't a racist or offensive word.
It means to be cheap. Holding money close to your self.
Scrooge was very *****rdly with his money, choosing to save rather than spend.

its not blocking nigardly, its blocking the racist variation of the word. the "dly" isnt blocked.

I think we aren't bad, but that we have a few 'gems' in our forums that make the OP's stupidity seem like brilliance.

Really I think the most likely explanation isn't an extreme love for censorship. More likely it's a combination of lousy forum software and filter maintenance being a low priority. * * * In the beginning the Universe was created.

From the forum rules:
Using partial masking (such as asterisks or punctuation marks) to bypass the profanity filter is prohibited and will result in the same action as if the actual word had been typed.
As the OP now knows what is happening I'm locking this thread.
