language filter issue

the name i use for just about everywhere on the web but here is

let it snow

just without the spaces, without them it looks like

le****now

this makes it hard to link to things from other sites.(ie. photobucket)
is there some way to lessen the language filter in hyperlinks or something?

You'd think the language filter would be able to differentiate between the word that it's filtering out and a word that just contains that sequence of letters.

I think you can change settings from just that exact word, to that string of letters. But it might apply to all words that are filtered. Not really sure though.

We know that's why the filter is being triggered. You'd just think that it would be smart enough to be able to tell the difference between a word that contained that sequence of letters and the word on it's own.

This has been adjusted, but I can't think of how many times someone is going to post "letitsnow" or a URL that has a 4-letter word in it.

I can see how it's kind of an oddity, I was honestly expecting you to say "sucks to be you" or something like that. Thanks!
