Why does the title of some posts have '***' at the end of them?

I'm sure its some kind of filter that prevents people from posting profanity, however it changes words such as LaScalas into LaScal***. Someone just posted about the anniversary of hurricane Katrina and in the title of the post it says Katrin***.

Just seems funny to me.

It seems to happen only in the subject line with words that end in a or as. I have no idea why. There is a list of censored words that I have access to in this software, and I don't see anything in there that would cause it to happen.

I'm at a loss.

Maybe the person entering the list of words to be edited is from North Carolina? [;)]

Our webmaster figured it out--should be all better now. That's why he gets paid the big bucks [;)]

It worked...sort of...I edited my original post on Katrina...it's corrected...but all the remaining posts in the Katrina thread still have the *** at the end. That's okay though because it should be fixed![:P]

Too bad he can't figure out the OOPS thing![;)] Oh, nevermind....I don't want to push my luck![;)]

When you edit the subject line, the replies to your original post do not get altered.

The oops thing is not in his domain.

I keep up on a motorcycle forum where the naughty words are replaced with silly words instead of stars. When the software changes the common forbidden text to phrases like "son of a pregnant dog", "thingy head", "potty off", and "fun you" it tends to lighten the tone, improve language, and promote more creative insults.

yeah, maybe from Boone, NC, you know, that's where App State is. Being from Michigan, I'm sure you know who App State is, right?
