Why does the auto-censor not allow me to write in my profile or say in a room "Emily Dickinson"

Seems bizarre the last name of the greatest American poet would be considered inappropriate.

  You are probably being censored by CW. The other night they wouldn't say in the room that I was watching the Dick Van Dyke show on TV. It came out garbled. I thought I had a key stuck on the keyboard.

  CW have a list of words that are not allowed to be used even if they are part of another word.
  It's rather frustrating when you are typing a long post on your profile and it just happen one of the banned word is part of another word, then everything I typed over 1000 characters all gone and have to re-do again.
  That word is "analyze", or "analysis" because the combination of the first 4 characters are banned. I use that word quite often in my "Tips" posts but have to re-word them.

  Another example I can't name my pet avatar penguin "Torpedo", that word is not allowed.

  SilverMoon , I believe it's because of the first 4 characters of your pet's name. They don't allow that word.

  A very frustrating one that I have complained about before is the contraction of who and are, who're, is also on the banned list. I pretty much stopped using contractions because of that.

  NG, I'm surprised that they're now deleting your messages if they happen to contain "bad" words. When I've had that issue, a  notice comes up saying  something like "you can't send this message because it contains a "bad word" but doesn't tell you what it is. That means you have to go searching your entire message to try to figure out what word they're objecting to.. I haven't had one of these in awhile, so not sure if things have changed.  I also had problems in the past with analyze lol.

  But they allow people to use Vulgar avatar and Pet names. I have seen some that are totally disgusting!! Makes no sense to me.
