For saying something was batshit crazy.

I know they have a profanity filter.

Why not add the word "shit" to it, instead of warning people who post the word, "shit"?

Also, I don't know why I'm posting this here in retrospect.

That's happened to me a lot. "bullshit" isn't in their filter which is retarded.

"shit" and "shitty" are filtered on WotC AFAIK...

It's an ass-tastic filter if that's the case.

That happened to me when I said dick.

Although it makes sense that its not filtered because Dick is a name, but in all honesty it should not be a name. And if they don't want me to say it they should filter it.

What about that quote that said something to the effect of "Sure, you can't address the vice president, but Richard or Mr. Cheney should suffice anyway."

Yeah, I remember seeing batshit thrown around there occasionally. I think for some reason it passes the filters.

That was TheExperimentalist. I remember the... "altercation" that we had. He was wondering why dick was censored and he was all like, "WHY IS THE VP NAME CENSORED? THAT'S UNPATRIOTIC!!"

Getting warned at WotC is nothing special. Everyone does.

That might have been me who reported it (I remember reporting a "batshit" recently). IDK why any and every iteration of "shit" and other such terms isn't filtered. It should be. Any combination of those letters consecutively should be.

I filled out one of their surveys saying basically, "What kind of retard wrote your profanity filter?"

why wouldn't they allow "batshit"?

isn't that word mandatory in any discussion relating to mark rosewater?

... why would you go out of your way to report it?

I auto-report all profanity because they asked me to when I became a VCL. It's just a habit. More often than not, I'll just PM the person saying that I'm asked to report it, but I'll allow them to edit it themselves rather then chance them receiving a warning for something so inconsequential. But I forget that course from time to time, especially when I'm browsing between multiple windows. It's not as if I'm hunting the forums for evil-doers. :P
