I can't use that for my name :O it replaces it with asterix characters :( I'm after using the name banditos which from my understanding, is a lollie.

Does it still censor it if you change your name in your win.ini file? It's found under the heading [Net Settings] (should be in c:\windows\win.ini).
Still, why the heck is it censored?

Team17's wordfilter contains many odd entries... maybe we should look into cleaning it up somewhat.

Oh, please do so. It even censors "scum". Some people thought I was swearing at them when I was just kidding around...

Could you post this somewhere for the amusement factor maybe? I remember finding a few that I found really strange, and I can't for the life of me remember what

"Bandit" is banned? Why would you do that to my cat?

Someone like you should be able to figure it out by yourself ;) They're stored in Data\filter.FTR but you'll need to "decrypt" it first.

"Slash" is censored? And "toss"? And, of course, "bandit"?
Although I think the best thing is that "butt" is censored, but not "ass". Also, that there's absolutely no censorship on breasts except "cleavage".

Because ass is:
a) US English
b) A word meaning donkey
