AI Thread Summary
Threads can be locked for using bad language, and there is a filter in place that blocks most offensive words. Specific names, such as Lifshitz, are not allowed and can lead to bans. Users have experimented with various spellings and formats to bypass the filter, but it remains effective against URLs containing banned terms. There is a consensus that cursing is not permitted, and the filter applies to a range of words, although some users have noted inconsistencies in what gets censored. Overall, the discussion highlights the limitations of the language filter and the humorous attempts to circumvent it.

There is a filter that blocks out most bad words. Like typing the name of the physicist Lif****z, is not allowed and will get you banned. :-p

That's pretty funny. I wonder why that is? On my own rating scale of cuss words, I would rank a$$ as stronger than sh*t.
