Humorous banned words

[Ando85]

For anyone who has been to a few forums, or basically anything you can post on the internet you have probably encountered banned words that you weren't allowed to use. Some of them are funny and others are just a mystery why it is banned.

On gamefaqs earlier I posted a topic "So, I'm 12 hours into the game". It wouldn't take it because I said "I'm 12".

The other one in recent memory was naming a class on Black Ops. The class was using the famas so I named it famas. Sadly famas is apparently profanity.

Scunthorpe.
Hee-hee.
It's one of my favorites.

I abused my Moderator power on a forum once.

I censored "The" and replaced it with "kittens".

Needless to say, confusion ensued and I soon lost my moderator priveleges.

I remember a while ago, willy was banned on a movie review site, it was hilarious because it was on the review for Free Willy.

In Runescape, do NOT proceed a period with any sort of word that contains a web domain thing like .ca . You will be laughed at for breaking the swear filter that's turn-off-able.

I was once banned from a forum for putting the forum administrator's username in a post.

First ever "infraction", permanent ban.

I didn't say anything insulting in any way, I was actually trying to be fair and defend him against some of the criticism in the thread.

The guy was an utter douchenozzle. The forum died a while back, I'm guessing people got fed up with him.

I don't understand, what was kittens point of that?

EDIT: My sense of humour utterly sucks.

Our school banned a web page about the Eiffel Tower because 'it was erected in 1889'

I'm pretty sure George Carlin covered the majority. Aside from those seven, I doubt anyone really cares enough.

 

[loc978]

I... I have never encountered such a thing... Even those George Carlin covered have been free to use everywhere I've been.

But then, the internet was born in my early adulthood.

Our school technician made it so keywords where blacked out on web pages. This included all the usual, like fuck, shit, sex, y'know. We knew what they where, because if you highlighted them, you could see what it was hiding.

All was gravy until we found that 'comic-sans' was also filtered. Lol

For some reason, one of my dead usernames, Aerocon, was blocked by Runescape sensors. WhatisthisIdonteven ensued whenever someone addressed me (and then to get around it, most people shortened it to 'con', which was also blocked).

That statement is made even better by your avatar.

Oh, and I agree with the whole Runescape censor malarky. I lost count of the amount of times I saw some poor soul type out a long message in chat, only for it to become a mass of asterisks interspersed with a few letters as the censor went crazy and wiped out a load of perceived curse words.

When CBS implemented the swear filter on their forums there were a few most notable Pregnant and cowgirl

which was funny because 3 actresses all got pregnant and so a lot of hilarity ensued.
(AJ Cook from Criminal Minds, Emily Proctor from CSI Miami, and Alyson Hannigan from How I Met Your Mother)

However those forums were god awful and continually got worse and worse until several of us migrated to a new forum at one of those free forum hosting sites... I'm the admin now so as a joke I've added pregnant to the chat filter... however you can turn off my chat filter. (CBS's was turned on no matter what)

There is a perfectly harmless German 4-letter-word that translates to "thick", "fat" or "big" in English. Unfortunately, its spelling is identical to that of an English slang term for the male genital or an undesirable person, so it very often falls victim to auto-censorship systems.

I won't spell it out here, but you'll probably be able to guess it after watching the following German TV ad:

In monster hunter tri, the word "behind" is banned, it just doesn't show up in text, which makes for some confusing tactics when you cant tell anyone to "get behind the monster to cut off its tail"

Apparently "behind" is German slang for something and that is why its banned.

Round my friends house on his Xbox 360 it wouldn't let me set my clan tag as PS3, it was a banned phrase, on my PS3 it let me set my tag as XBOX and X360, I find it amusing to put the wrong one into whichever one I'm playing.

One of my friends from college told me that when he was in school if they were typing up an Analysis their computer got locked for typing the word anal.

Many, many words in Pokemon White and Black such as "Pine." What.

And here I thought "behind" meant someone's ass or rear end, but what do I know?
