when typing a reply in an airgun thread I tried to put in that a certain airgun only took one pull to "c o c k " and when I posted....that word became "pencil"
Tried it a couple different ways and it happened each time. I got a laugh out of it but didn't realize we were getting that bad as to have words eliminated from our vocabulary in here.

It seems the staff did some small updates to the forum software (Notice the new  smitten emoticon too), which might have borked the custom word censoring...

Also mentioned here:

http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,101853.0.html

Will need to get the admins to un-block that word... Reporting this post to moderator to make sure they see it.

Hmm.  I'm not having any trouble with the censor.  eg. I found my Pingel petcοck has at least 11 miles of reserve on my current road trip after my belly tank pump failed.  Must be the censor respects my clean pure heart; would never use "cοck" in a vulgar way...

Therer are actually only a few words on the exclusion list.  I do realize that almost every work in the English language has multiple meanings.  It's almost impossible to exclude words that are used as we don't want to see them without blocking someone who uses it in a completely acceptable manner.

The list will probably stay the way it  is.

I'll defer to your final judgement of course, but it makes it difficult to discuss a common failure point on our Valks if we can't write out "petcοck" without it being changed to "petpencil".

Even URL's to websites talking about or selling the item in question get munged by the censor, for instance:

https://www.powersportsplace.com/search/product-line/pingel-power-flo-1000-series-petpencils/make/honda/model/gl1500c-cd-valkyrie/petpencil-base-shape/round?autoview=SKU&sortby=Default&sortorder=Default

We can't even link to a page on this very site because it has "cοck" in the URL:

http://www.valkyrieriders.com/shoptalk/petpencil.htm

Edit to add - And this word had been removed from the censored word list previously:

I'll take the hit for this one.  We have been getting some complaints about the language here.  I added a couple of words to the censor list.  I forgot that word was removed from the censor list for a reason.  

I believe it is corrected, as you can see by my cocktail, not my penciltail. 

I also added this emoticon...  Tongue
