I can understand the insistence of your trading partner(s) on censoring
publicly viewable posts, but private messages are not. They are a one-to-one communication channel between two consenting adults (consenting to have a conversation that is) and filtering them through the auto-censor serves no useful purpose other than to annoy and confuse.
If I want to tell a buddy
in a private message that I am short on
**82**, I should be bloody well able to do it without having to jump through hoops.
And yes, I am aware that PMs are viewable by the mods/admins, but this is not about privacy but about unnecessary inconveniences and roadblocks to communication.
Given that each time a word is censored the FSM kills a kitten, please consider rethinking this policy.
Thank you,
