Question: censors back to ****

[Salzorrah]

here

What happened? Did the censors go back to the old poopy **** and not the wonderful ♥♥♥♥? Jw, coz I really do love the ♥♥♥♥ censors better than the ****. Or is this like a test with the censors that we dont know about :(

 

[antemortem]

looks like hearts to me.

Looks a bunch of hearts to me also. I don't know what's wrong there

I see stars when swearing now - ****, for example.

I like it better.

 

[Pendraflare]

Yeah, I like the asterisks better too. The hearts for that were too cheesy for me.

does it matter in the end? we're all stars and full of love in the eyes of Lord Helix

Booo that was corny.

But I'm with Gunners - my computer randomly changed back to the asterisks as well, and I really did enjoy the hearts more than the asterisks. Puts a better spin on censorship in my opinion.

 

[obZen]

Not gonna lie, even I liked the hearts

I always saw asterisks, only time i saw hearts is when i went on google to search for them so my sig could look nicer.

Probably a theme related thing.

I don't think so, if only because that old post is hearts to me and my new one is asterisks. Unless it's something like the theme you swear on, not the theme you use to look at them? Now I have to swear again on a different theme to test.

****.

e: nope still asterisks even on older themes that I know use the default style stuff

 

[Nihilego]

It's not a theme-related thing.

Spoiler:

The reason why you're seeing the hearts in some posts is because the filter changes the word itself rather than just imposing the filter character. So old posts still have hearts.

As for when/why it was changed, I have no idea honestly. But just clearing that up!
