IMHO, there is a more important question: If its really blocked, then why H O S T O N Y or other combinations arent?
Then people can use blocked words with just simple edits like commas or dots or quotes...

Because no matter what you attempt to do, there will always be other ways around it, if people are getting around a censored word, then it's a mods job to deal with it ban those people if necessary or whatever.

still doesn't answer the question as to why that word would be blocked.

I don't remember setting this on.  Well since it has been censored its for a reason so is best to stop the discussion about this webhost.

You mean some people actually leave it on? :)

Maybe its just a really crappy host and they want to protect the user base from them

Is it blocked or is it picking up on a word with those letters in it ?

Had an instance recently on an Invision bord where the blocker picked up on a town in the UK called S******horpe   ;)

Ah ha same here then,  those from the UK can figure it out, but what about h o s t o n y ?

nope...???

look test:

(safasf = just a way to show wat will happen wen any text is inserted where safsasf is)

sfasf******sfasf  (s f a s f h o s t o n y s f a s f)
safsf****** (s a f s f h o s t o n y)
******sfasf (h o s t o n y s f a s f)
****** (h o s t o n y)
hos stony (h o s   s t o n y)

As you see the word targeted is obviously h-o-s-t-o-n-y

Hostony
