i am requesting that the word "*****" be added to the list of words censored by the autobot.

it is one of the most offensive words used to denigrate women, and usually the most abused and outcast of women. it is well known that serial killers frequently target these women because they know that no one will investigate their gruesome deaths, even if they are reported missing by those who love them.

the fact that someone can say in open chat that "all women are *****s", and have no outcry raised, and be in chat the next day as if nothing happened is, to me, a very sad commentary on the gender bigotry rife on this site.

whoever decides what words may be used has seriously failed to grasp the horrific nature of the word "*****". please do not leave it open to further use.

The Skeezyks most whole-heartedly supports this request! The Skeezyks does not "chat". And if this is the type of thing that goes on there... he is glad he doesn't...

I don't chat either, but I whole heartedly agree! Just heard on the RADIO there is a new term added to the Urban Dictionary emotional ***** OMG what are we coming to? and why don't we even care about the NEXT generation???

Urban Dictionary: emotional *****
Thanks for this!

Done.

And thanks for not assuming that the lack of a specific word -- given there are literally thousands of variants -- isn't banned is somehow indicative of a failure to appreciate the profanity of a specific word. Simply PMing me or an admin also works.
