I had a post earlier today censored (I used the word fa**ot but not in an offensive way), so I started a thread asking readers for words not allowed.  The post got taken down in minutes.
What words are banned?

I used to live in D  y  ke Street - and mentioned it in passing one day.
That wasn't allowed.

For years Guinness wasn't allowed.
Report Tommy Toes • August 9, 2014 12:19 PM BST
It's an American hosted site, mememe, so the words the Yanks may find offensive aren't allowed.
Doesn't matter if none of them are allowed to use Betfair over there.

guinness is ok now?
Report Tommy Toes • August 9, 2014 12:22 PM BST
Yes, has been for a while now, Brendan.
I think Betfair relented on that one as it's a word of such common use over here and was used so many times on the forum, it had loads of people raging every time such an innocuous word was starred out.

I suppose that I'll never get an answer as when a forumite uses a banned word, the thread will get taken down.
And we'll never know.
The moderators have created a paradox.  Whatever next? A robust IT platform.

You're going to spoil it for me! I've never created my own thread before and had people joining in and I fear you will get itbtaken down.
I've never been so happy since I ensnared Zodiac in my net on the Horse Racing thread about a year ago - it only took me 6 minutes and one or two forumites complimented me. (mind you it was easy as Zodiac is a ****** (I won't even try the word)).

Still never worked out why Guinness was banned - most odd.

CMAT,Still never worked out why Guinness was banned - most odd.

Like I said, it's to not offend the Yanks.

They think we have loads of Italians over here who we abuse every May in the first big 3 y o races of the season at Newmarket!

I tried various spellings of the word Guinness when it was first banned - and it wouldn't let me use any of them - so they obviously censored every possible way to spell 'Guinea'.

I'd only heard the term 'guinea' in the Godfather films.
