*** This was a result of their attempt to fix the [[Scunthorpe Problem]] with "ass", to prevent words such as "p'''ass'''" and "'''ass''''''ass'''in" from being censored. The method used for this fix? Only censoring " ass ", i.e. when the word is surrounded by spaces. This meant the censor could be dodged simply by ending a sentence with "ass." (period or other punctuation). [[Wild Mass Guessing|Perhaps]] awareness of the problem with this fix is the reason this fix was not used with other censored words (resulting in words like "skys'''crap'''er" being censored).
*** Let's not forget the classic Twin Handgun Photon Art, "Twin %!&@#$*@%!$" ('''Penetration''').
* For quite a while the ''[[EveEVE Online]]'' official forums censored the word "crack", which lead to weird discussions about how to best {{spoiler|crack}} certain ships' armor.
** Fortunately, one didn't generally need a wristwatch in a pod, but censoring Sa{{spoiler|feg}}uard confused a lot of people.
*** made worse because there was a "Serpentis Safeguard" enemy in the game.
