    I became aware of a rather unusual censor for a normal word when I submitted a post not too long ago.

    The word ------uation. The first four letters are censored (e, v, a, l) and I was wondering if this is a mistake or if there was a particular reason.

    Thanks! :)

    e v a l is a term that is used in files to spread viruses and stuff if I'm not mistaking.

    Dinges is about right.
    Just go to this link and put the censored word at the end to visit the page for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
