The average filter will catch “4 letter words”. Microsoft Windows Defender or IE setting (free on all computers) will catch them too. I guess this makes the case for better filtering from YWN users on their own computers and YWNs server. I post on non jewish sites and certain words (certainly not the 4 letter kind – and even many derogatory and discriminatory words) simply block a post from being accepted by the sites (as the TOS declares “in an attempt to maintain a certain level of decorum and professionalism” and i suppose an unwillingness to be sued for certain speech that may appear on their site). I suppose it is up to each individual user to determine the type of filter they want on their computer, YWN to determine how they want to filter content that is trying to be loaded onto their site and each individual to determine if YWN’s choice meets the standards that they want out of a site.
Lastly, what do people really belive the word “yehsiva” in YWN means?
