Mods, fix the word s******* already
This has been a long issue but no one brought up front. Therefore, I will do the requirement.

Can you guys fix the word s h o o t e r without blanking h o o t e r out with *s?

My thanks in advance.

Why the **** is "hooter" a "*" word anyway? Why are there "*" words to begin with?

Edit: I guess someone fixed it.

C******ay, which by the way is Char don ay all pushed together. I know, I know, not too much use for this on the board, but since this word got blocked in one of my posts the other day it has been driving me crazy.

LOL. Half the time I can't even figure out what I would be cracking the whip at...I know it should be obvious, but it took me about 45 seconds of hard thinking to figure out what was being blocked.
