Someone obviously didn't read the vB manual very well did they... You can block whole words or parts of words, it's just setup wrong.

Type all words you want censored in the field below. Do not use commas to separate words, just use spaces. For example, type "dog cat boy", rather than "dog, cat, boy."

If you type "dog", all words containing the string "dog" would be censored (dogma, for instance, would appear as "***ma"). To censor more accurately, you can require that censors occur only for exact words. You can do this by placing a censor word in curly braces, as in {dog}. Signifying "dog" in the curly braces would mean that dogma would appear as dogma, but dog would appear as "***". Thus your censor list may appear as: cat {dog} {barn} barn

Do not use quotation marks and make sure you use curly braces, not parentheses, when specifying exact words.

We used to have this problem on the vB board I use, the answer is to put the words in curly brackets like {naughtyword} which also allows you to put in phrases or full names too.

The problem we also had (which may have now been fixed not we are on 3.0.6 (or in 3.0.7 if not)) is that we often have to put names in our censor for legal reasons but putting {john smith} (for example) meant that 'jo' got censored! Silly bugs.
