How do I contact moderators? - Blu-ray Forum

rogman · 09-11-2008, 12:34 PM

I noticed today that my any links I've posted to articles, pictures, etc. at my Web site have been broken. The site is www.finishabasement.com, and it seems it contains a word that's been censored. Is 'base ment' (without the space) a bad word??? This would also happen to the word ads (because advertise ments (without the space) is censored to adverti*****ts) because it contains the same word. (the word for male bodily fluids).

I noticed in the FAQs it mentions that this edit is 'unintelligent'. I'll say! Can something be done to fix this edit? Like only looking for the word w/spaces before or after? Not any word that contains that character string? This is censorship gone wild.

You can pm the site admin or if you look up on your window, you'll see a foul language announcement...click on that to read it and PM iceman. I've also asked Shin-Ra questions before..

I've reported this issue too, I'm sure it'll be looked into soon.

I'm guessing Panasonic Matsu****a will be censored too.

That won't work because it even substitutes the text in the link. See how your link (to my site) above came out?

I hope they fix it soon, because it also makes Blu-ray.com look bad to search engines, etc. Google will try to follow all those links during its next crawl, and broken links will penalize the site...

Looks like it's fixed now!
