I've just been trying to post a review of Mallrats, and the filter won't let me. I can't find any obvious swear words, or even mild swearing. Is there any words that you've come across that stop your posts getting past the filter?

I have a mental age of 3, and a half.

You guess we know what this means.

"3," was a culprit for me.

Unlikely, but worth a shot - "3," normally seems to set the swear filter off, although I can see nothing wrong with that unless I'm being shielded from some sort of innuendo. Anyfudge, it may be a good idea to post up the review on here so we can all scan it and look for some offensive words, IF it will post on here, that is. I say give it a go - you've got nothing to lose.

Isn't it ironic that the swear filter lets 'legit' swear words slip through, yet words that are of no offence get caught out?
