I don't know if this is urban myth or not but supposedly when Scun-thorpe Council (without the hyphen!!), in the UK, made the switch to email they weren't receiving any emails from external sources. When it was investigated it turned out to be a rude word filter blocking all of the council workers email addresses which ended in @scun-thorpe.gov.uk. And what do you know, the myLot rude filter blocked my original attempt to post this comment!!

That is a NATIONAL funny! Well there you have it - it was on the Government site and myLot is following suite - My hubbys work filters all slang words and you cannot even write a sentence in Afrikaans and you get flagged.

@WorDazza he works for an AngloAmerican company and they have English only - so Afrikaans comes up as slang - I cannot even write "lekker skattie"

@Inlemay Surely that shouldn't be allowed. Blocking an entire language!!! You wouldn't get away with that in the UK these days!!

I have had the B itch one and that was referring to a female dog so justifiable un-rude usage - such filters tend to be rather too literal

@Inlemay the meaning of the words should be apparent from context and the words round it rather than just those letters on their own

ha ha - maybe they should follow the grammatical use of the word to define it

Every once in awhile I get the bad word message and I am like what? The last time was for a music lyric I quoted. Hardly offensive.

Some of the words that Mylot objects to are rather unnecessary, as is the one that you was blocked for. That word could easily have been used in a statement about dog shows etcetera and is not really a bad word.

@Inlemay I have had a few strange ones myself. It can be very confusing at first, especially since you were not even using that word.

its actually the correct word, its not even derogatory at all, however it was in a response and I said I need to find the B- with an itch in me to master my temperament in bowling. Not worried at all, just thought it funny, like the Chardo -nnay
