Posts and profile will not allow certain words

[Stand-Up!]

Whenever I try to type certain words such as "****l" or "Mental", the letters are replaced with the symbols ********. Any reason why? This has been happening for a few months.

Edit : The word is censored again. I will use it in a sentence so it will be clear. "Megadeth plays loud "Heavy ****l".

The word metal shows up as ****l because words like meta and script are actually censored on Sherdog.

This is to stop people using malicious HTML code in their posts which can cause redirects to porn sites and other shenanagins.

Fogey, how did you actually type those two words without them showing up as asterisks? I'm freaked out now.

Quote him, any characters in between the letters make it so it's not the same word

Example:

****
Meta
Meta[ /COLOR]
