Funny that the episode in the Virtual Theater is Censorship - Ric, is there any possible way to loosen the language filter just slightly!? Seeing that the shortened version of Richard is an actual name, I think it's stupid that it's automatically assumed that we are referring to something else!

i wouldn't count on it.. the word g-a-y isn't even allowed here because a few ignorant ppl think it's an insult, when the actual meaning of that word is supposed to be - happy or carefree..

Yeah, it definitely needs to be lightened some.

If you recall, Rob, when we started this, we had some language problems that forced us to be more anal about it that normal.

Let me start tinkering with that...

I love it - it won't let us use the word dick or gay, but apparently anal is acceptable!

I remember having trouble with an old internet filter at an old job years ago that banned all sites having to do with breast cancer awareness because of the word breast.

I think this group is pretty well-behaved except for an occasional spammer that gets through...
