September 27, 200619 yr Here in Canada its sometimes a slang for male genitalia, so that's probably why they block it...just a guess :wink: Goals: 80/80 Range, 75/90 Strength, 77/85 Attack, 64/76 Fishing and crafting 31k natures (o.O)

September 28, 200619 yr I remember a few months ago that the letter "k" in my username got censored. "shin*ansen1" Told Jagex about that via complaint. Oh, yeah! I almost forgot, the letter "s" in "Icthlarin's Little Helper" gets censored as well. I have yet to tell Jagex about this. "Nothing in Runescape is free, not even ashes!"
September 28, 200619 yr Here's what gets me: Doesn't is filtered to Does**. WHY? Its accually Doesnt gets filtered as does** Its only with no apostriphe ( i know i can't spell.)

September 29, 200619 yr there just trying to protect them selfs from law suits as well as players from bad words and flaming its a littl messed up but every word that is filterd is filtered for a reason because or it meaning in a setin sentence or is plain meaning but dosen't does get me i asked a mod one time but all he said was '....' lol thats helpful i guess he doesn't know or needs to know lol this is long
September 29, 200619 yr "Wang" gets filtered because it's slang for your manhood. I'm chinese so I understand that some asian people have this last name, which means something else in cantaneese.
September 29, 200619 yr You cant even say "Damo" anymore (My name). It comes out as "*Amo". Sheesh i cant even say my own name!
September 29, 200619 yr you can't say poof either rule the seas is a cool mmorpg register through here: http://www.ruletheseas.com/index.php?r=50338
