Never had this happen before. I was going to update my signature, but apparently I used a naughty word.

Woops, forgot to actually ask my question. Is there a list of censored words, and if so where can I find them?

I've never had that happen before, weird.
"May the way of the Hero lead to the Triforce"
"May the Goddess smile upon you."
"Hero", is what they've all been saying. This world, it isn't worth the saving."

It's a legitimate question, though. This could be a bug, or an oversight in the banned words system - of which MMO Champ honestly has very few that I know of. Even a lot of the generally porn-y ones aren't banned. Originally Posted by tikcol

Basically, I was going to change my signature to be a helpful bit of humorous advice against Chinese gold farmers based on this Imgur post: https://imgur.com/gallery/w1Ojl
The signature was going to read: Ever encounter a Chinese gold farmers and/or spammers? Just message them '六*天安門廣場*屠殺' and let Big Brother take care of them. Turns out, Big Brother was after me first.

Maybe it was the words 'gold farm?' Possibly an algorithm to block spam?

It'll be the Chinese words. People usually use them when trying to make threads about black magic and love potions here so the system must mark them as spam.

Many characters from Asian languages are blocked in the name of reducing spam.

I'd probably also assume there might be different rules for sigs maybe? Originally Posted by chaud

Many asian characters are blocked for no apparent reason. For example:
*녕 (Hello)
가슴 (Boobs)
That's Korean script. It blocks part of "Hello" but no part of "Boobs"

The characters were blocked to combat some very prolific and undeterred spammers and were selected based on the frequently used content of their messages, not based on the words' specific meaning. This will apply to posts and signatures.
Since the forum is English-language only, this should pretty much only have a positive impact on the forums by reducing spam.
Since the question was answered and there are some pretty inappropriate posts in here, I'm locking this.
