Heh heh, Im guessing that wasn't suppposed to happen.
>If automatic asterisking is turned on (which is the default) and isn't bypassed, your posts won't be considered by Dr. Bob to use language that could offend others.
But couldn't some language be inappropriate in certain contexts? Or do you think that it is covered so that it will go the other way and there will be unnecessary asterisking instead?
Um. My only worry with this is that it seems to pretty much be a lisence to swear and it is ok, the asterisking system will deal with it. This may lead to an increase in the ammount of swearing that goes on.
I know that I personally have become more lax (though am pretty good at asterisking) with my language since it became clear to me that I wasn't going to get blocked for it. But I think that is a bit of a shame...
I am going to try to tone it down from now on.
