I tried putting my title as Edelweiss Team Leader but the Leader always comes out censored. What is the reason for this?
I know this is a necro, but I figured since the thread was still here and NOT closed, I'd second the noted question.
That feel when I can't be "leader" of the Blue Rappies... :‹
It's probably censored to not mistaken site staff with people that could be impersonating them.
That makes almost no sense... Isn't that why they use the terms Administrator and Moderator, not Site Leader or anything like that? It just seems like one of those weird words that maybe a good deal of people might use in it (like Group leaders such as TC) but can't because it's censored here... :/
Only speculation on my part. You'll want to ask a mod directly.
I don't really have anything to add to the topic, but this is curious.
Edit: Most of the staff, mods and admins, at least, have weird titles, and their staff straps are located on the avatars. Don't remember what the stock title for the biggest boss was, but I think it's "Site owner". So yeah, "leader" being censored so that people can't pretend to be staff members seems like a bit of a stretch.
If you guys have seen what the chat filter censors, you wouldn't be surprised. At all.
Meh, if there's a legit reason for it and I get modded for making my user title what it is, then it's my fault. But, hey, the filter doesn't catch special characters, so if you have access to the Character Map, you can use alternatives to reach it. *shrug*
EDIT: For those who are either ignorant or lazy, just use this "e" in place of the e in "lead" to be able to bypass the censor: ℮
Haha trolled.
