Censorship

I just read my recent posts and noticed something odd in some of them. Actually, I've first noticed this a few years ago when I re-visited my unfinished story. I think AFF runs a censorhip app once in awhile. It automatically removes the letters S, E and X if these are together in succession. And also some other letter combinations. Of course, it simply obliterates the meaning of the sentence or phrase no matter how tame it, or the word, may be. I understand the need for censorship coz I've read some "wow, i can't believe one can find these stories here". I believe there are minors visiting this site. But doesn't AFF have a Mature-content category for that? Oh... I haven't tagged my story or any of my blog posts as such so I guess those become subject to censorship. Okay, end of story.

(grumbling: But I haven't written anything so vulgar to merit those deletions... I mean, in this era of LGBT acceptance and of all those kinds of per--OK, I can't continue that word coz it'll likely be gone a few days from now. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, I wish AFF could reconfigure their app so that words containing "s, e, x and y" wouldn't end up as an odd "y".)
