Vinow Censoring

Tonight I exchanged PMs with another person on this forum. We were discussing a particular thread, and a PM was sent referring to an obnoxious poster on that thread as "a relentlessly snotty female canine", using the five letter synonym for female canine. In the PM that was received the word appeared as @#$%, so evidently this site censors PMs, which doesn't surprise me. But I am surprised that a word that is liberally used on prime time network TV is a censored word on vinow. In an effort to avoid censoring in the future, I'd like to see a list of words unacceptable to vinow censors. Just don't send the list via PM.

dnt: I believe that there are filters in the web site that monitor words. I don't think that Islander is sitting around with the censoring scissors! 😀

I am aware that the censor is electronic rather than human, but since one can't PM a dog breeder to announce that one's bitchis in heat, I just want to know which other innocuous words are verbotten.
