The word filter should be changed...
The word filter should be changed in one respect. Those who are familiar with the word filter knows that p-p-l is converted to idiots. Ordinarily, I dont have a problem with this. But what if you want to say a-p-p-l-e, s-u-p-p-l-y, or some other word with p-p-l in it? As you can see, a-p-p-l-e gets converted to aidiotse and s-u-p-p-l-y gets converted to suidiotsy.
Really nice and confusing, in my opinion.

If I see a massive exodus of people from our forums, yes I will remove them or change them to less humorous replacements. The main idea is to have some fun while promoting better writing. I can filter, but I would rather not.
These ideas came from the Aquatica Ikonboard. They had something similar and they still do at the iSoaker.com forums. Certain words became XPBackfire or BrokenMXL, which became very funny when someone went on a wild rant!

The original word is... well, I can't tell you. It'll get censored. All I can tell you is that it's a certain little word beginning with "S".
EDIT: Ben, I've noticed something with the new filter. When you type "dont", you'll notice that "apostrophe" has two p's. It's supposed to be "apostrophe", not "appostrophe". Since you're so big on spelling, just thought I'd let you know.

Thanks for reporting the spelling error! I also checked won't, can't, didn't and apostrophe was only misspelled in won't.
And don't say "Since you're big on spelling". No, I am big on understandability. I never yelled at someone for one word, though I have notified them if they constantly were spelling it wrong.
