[RESOLVED] Wrong word filtered...

[mendhak]

*****ions.

The "A.m.b.i.t" part of A.m.b.i.t.i.o.n gets filtered (sans dots)

Is ***** an epithet I'm unaware of?

[Jacob Roman]

Let me do another test. That character from X-Men, G*****.

Wha?

[MartinLiss]

Yes those letters are being censored but I have no idea why.

Interestingly:

from http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=a mbit

An early pattern-matching language, developed by
C. Christensen of Massachusetts Computer Assocs in 1964

Even more interesting:

If ***** is such a bad word, it sure is used as a company name quite a bit.

Also censored at Codeguru.

[MartinLiss]

Ambit has been removed from the censored word list. Apparently it was added because a company by that name spammed us.

Interesting to know. Thread resolved, and we can stop using the word 'ambition' so excessively in our chit-chat posts.
