The forum is set to censor some words.

However on this thread it wasn't automatic, we had to remove, asterisk out a word as it was offensive and inappropriate.

I've never noticed it before but can see some words in this thread have been asterisked.
On another thread b00b spelled correctly was asterisked. Not sure when that became an offensive word.
If we were ornithologists there would be several birds that would probably be deemed offensive and asterisked out

Yes as I said we had to on this thread due to an offensive word.

As for the automatic censor as far as I am aware is standard within forum software so not sure how much control forum admin have with it. @Tech Admin can perhaps say more.

I’ll probably regret asking but what are ******?!

Is it as I suspect a derogatory term for travellers?

Apparently it's derogatory. I thought it was a normal word, so there's some learning for me.

 

[Tech Admin]

Censored words have the ****** show in their place.

Dolcis.
I briefly worked there one shift and never returned.
Got a job a few weeks later at Burtons which was far better.

Me and a friend from school had a Saturday job in Bata shoe shop.

I've sometimes starred or asterisked words as not sure if the words would offend anyone.

I do this too.

Sorry, I used that word too. I don't find it offensive but apologies if anyone did.
