    I think in my head I thought it would be like River Cottage all happy and yummy food and trendy chilled happy people. Nope!! Some are friendly the others seem a bit above themselves. I think the world of competative veg growing would be an eye opener!

    You just need to look at the sunflower growers on here for that :eek:

    You are correct! I wasnt sure if I was allowed to use that word on the forum. My mind is too clean to know the other words that you thought of before coming to that conclusion :D. P****?!?! how?! :rotfl:

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    That had better be merely a cat, as I can't think of anything else it could be. Plural of a racist word? Oh dear:(:rotfl::rotfl:.

    I think I just post them and then see if they turn to exclamations. I've no idea if any record is kept or any trigger:D flagged for when people attempt to post something that trips the 'filter'. If they turn to exclamations, I then go back and edit so as to use a different word. Then again, I'm very often using different words. (If I end up using asterisks, as a very rarity, it's because no other word would have done and anything else would have failed to explain the matter properly. I wouldn't ever use it in an abusive directed context, asterisks or not.) I like stuff that doesn't trip the filter, if it does then I replace it with something that doesn't (and without trying to get around it, for example, posting spaces in between).

    If the exclamation replacements do trigger an auto-alert to the Forum Team, then I posted a racist word earlier today - though it was in context, in the context of the discussion of offensive language - I decided not to go back and change the exclamations that resulted there as I felt anything else would not be correct.

    Alternatively, of course I remember:eek: every word that does get through and what doesn't, so I avoid problems that way!

    Some may think it's a bit lame, but it's a good way to harness creativity.
