Many Internet forums have an automated censor feature, the intended purpose of which is to bleep out profanity. But in the hands of a playful admin (or a Well-Intentioned Extremist determined to keep the forum clean), the results of the auto-censor can get... interesting. Like more conventional censorship, this can lead to the Scunthorpe Problem, if the autocensor is designed to look for the prohibited string within longer strings. Compare Gosh Dang It to Heck!. |

Until 2018, the autocensor on the official Star Trek Online forum replaced banned words with four asterisks. In late 2018 the admin changed the replacement text to "TRIBBLE". "STD", the hatedom nickname for Star Trek: Discovery, was added to the filter at about the same time (Cryptic was starting up a series of missions based on the series). | |

The Freakin Awesome Network board (formerly the original WrestleCrap message board) filters the usual swear words (e.g., profanity was changed to "Smurf" or "Snork"), and words that their mods don't want to hear (e.g., at one time, Kent Jones, self-proclaimed YouTube "shooter", was filtered into "Can't Shoot" or "I like tired fads", Batista was filtered to "Basketball Jones"note in a failed attempt by RD Reynolds and Triple Kelly to force it into a meme, and "Vintage" became "Vonage"). | |

The Hello Cthulhu forum used to have an autocensor which took phrases popular with spammers and replaced them with phrases popular with Lovecraft. This was deemed to have reached perfection when an actual spammer, with no moderation, posted: | |

Puzzle Pirates has a chat option to turn profanity into pirate-y swearing (see this list for examples); some expressions are also autoreplaced (e.g., "wtf" is changed to "what in the seven seas"). Which led to hilarity when the devs booched and switched the lists. | |

Something Awful has a word filter that replaces profanity with gentle alternatives ("gently caress" for "fuck", "poo poo" for "shit", etc.). The N-Word, meanwhile, is filtered to "friend of the family". The filtered words are only shown to unregistered users. Occasionally, new users will use the alternate forms because they don't realize they're allowed to swear and don't know there's a filter. You'll usually get chided and gently probated if you do. "Gently caress" has become trademark Goon slang because of it, so you see it frequently even when the filters aren't applied. |

The xkcd forums have been known to have fun with this. Among other things, words such as "lol" and "Chuck Norris" are filtered to suitably humorous alternatives. One xkcd IRC channels also considers AOL to be a swear. The "suitably humorous alternative" to 'lol' — "This cheese is burning me!" — then became part of the forum's vocabulary. Posters will write "The cheese really burned me today" for a particularly funny strip, or "My cheese is lukewarm." Another set of filters included the word "filters", replaced with "cheesegraters". And replaced any instance of "also" with "ALSO YOU GUYS:". If you decide to actually type "ALSO YOU GUYS:", you end up with "ALSO YOU GUYS: YOU GUYS:". One section of the forums were also re-dedicated to "superabacus mysticism". Once a year the mods have free rein to abuse their modly powers. This mainly manifests in hundreds of filter entries, such as "Madness" to "FURIOUS DOODLING". Full list of filters. After the annual Mod Madness ends, a few of the new filters are always left in place. |

In Bob and George, the phrase "There is no Plot Hole!" is something of a Running Gag. The forums reflect this by automatically filtering "plot hole" to "spoon" (because, as The Matrix taught us, there is no spoon, either). | |

One The Sims fan forum replaces most swear words with "kleenex". It caused a few problems early on, such as a "kleenex sword" (i.e. a bastard sword) in a post about medieval weapons, so the admins removed a lot of words with non-naughty meanings from the list. Forum regulars so rarely swear, though, that some people have posted for years without knowing there was a filter. (Those who do know about the filter will often type "kleenex" themselves on the rare occasions they feel like swearing.) | |

Neopets: Too bad if your RP character's wearing a bikini — it'd inevitably get switched to "cardigan". The fact that SpongeBob SquarePants was often said to live in Cardigan Bottom was rather less than optimal. Among other words censored are fork (which the mods eventually changed their minds about) and hot tub (changed to "swamp"). In guilds, apostrophes are often, but not always, censored. The icing on the cake? TVT, a nickname for the board mods (stands for The Viacom Team, expressing displeasure at the fact that the site was bought out by Viacom), is now changed to "my socks". TNT decided to do a grand Take That! at Twilight, wordfiltering Twilight into My Little Pony, Stephenie Meyer into Krusty the Clown, Bella Swan into Clara Chatham, Edward Cullen into Roxton Colchester III, Jacob Black into Jordie, vampire into Xweetok, werewolf into Werelupe, and at least one of the actors from the movie into Nick Neopia. This one borders on 4chan wordfiltering, where "emo" became "bosnian" and where "noes" became "exploitable"... The former phone number of Neopets HQ got changed to "Ghostbusters!", because who ya gonna call? In addition every year on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, TNT activates filters to convert regular speech into pirate speech. For example ''clean" becomes "swab", "yes" becomes "aye", "not" becomes "nay", etc. |

On the official Gunnerkrigg Court forum, profanities aren't filtered but certain bits of net-speak are, because Tom Siddell hates them. "LOL" becomes "LAUGHING ON LINE"; "OMG" becomes "gosh golly" (formerly, it was "OH MY GIRAFFES"). And "/co/" (as in, the comics subforum of 4chan) becomes "the Butt Zone". | |

Them's Fightin' Herds originally started out as a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fangame that got Screwed by the Lawyers. As such, any mention of My Little Pony on its forums is automatically censored to "Lawyer Friendly Equines".

Professional Wrestling promotion CHIKARA had a wrestler named Chris Hero leave the promotion under bad terms that are kept very hush hush. On their official forums, "Chris Hero" is autocensored to "John Kerry". Fans get around this by referring to "a certain Heroic figure" or by using the name he was given once he signed with a WWE developmental territory, Kassius Ohno. They also censor the word kayfabe, turning it into "grape jelly." Chikara is also using the autocensor feature as part of an angle involving the shady corporation that (in-character) owns it. The words 'Condor', 'Titor', 'Conglomerate' and 'Conrad' are all blanked out by the autocensor. | |

The Elder Scrolls: At one point, the official Bethesda Forums replaced the word "ass" with "spotted owl" and "asshole" with "spotted owl habitat". They had other odd replacements for various swear words, but the "spotted owl" became so popular that people still typed it in even after the forums switched to just using [CENSORED] for everything. They even have a spotted owl emoticon. Other examples are typing "4chan" will give you a [CENSORED] tag, typing "In Soviet Russia" will give you "I am not funny", and "Oblivion sucks" will turn into "The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is the best game in the universe". | |

The TV Tropes forums filter "tl;dr" to "laconic version:". In the past they filtered it to "Sorry, I skipped some posts.", and earlier it was “I am too lazy, or possibly too incapable, to actually read anything. I resent the fact that this makes me seem like an inconsiderate person and hereby pledge to resume taking my ADHD medication.� It had to be changed because often the original post ended with "tl;dr: summary of the post", so "tl;dr" had two possible meanings. "Titular", for a time, was completely filtered out of all pages on the wiki because of perceived overuse. It was very shortly undone for both the "perceived" part (nobody could agree on whether the word was actually being misused), and a variant of the Scunthorpe Problem (complete filtering only served to screw up sentences that used the word, and made it hard for editors who wanted to fix the issue to actually search for affected examples). |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic imageboard Ponychan likes to ponify people's language (changing "everybody" to "everypony", etc.) as well as make some creative replacements for some of the more unsavory words. "Vagina" becomes "wahaHA!", "sex" becomes "marshmallow", "cunt" becomes "femoral artery" (a play on "female organ", perhaps?)... this amusingly led to new writer Natasha Levinger's sole credit on IMDb being changed to "My Marshmallowiest Mistake". Stereotypical chan-speak gets put through the ringer as well: "lulz" becomes "schadenfreude", "u mad" becomes "u currently experiencing the emotion of anger", "jelly" becomes "marmalade", and "waifu" becomes "phantasmal significant other". | |

The "Survivor Sucks" message board censors seemingly random words, such as "tears", "dudes", "petition", "ipod", "heart" and a bunch of random others. No actual curse words are censored. | |

The Kingdom of Loathing forum censors the "word" alot. It's smart enough to only censor the word when it's the entire word, but it isn't smart enough to avoid censoring it when it's part of a URL, leading to a Scunthorpe-like problem when people try to link, for instance, here. | |

Truth And Beauty Bombs, formerly the Dinosaur Comics forum, had a number of humorous filters. "ladies and gentlemen" became "cats and kittens", "blowjob" became "lingering kiss on a CRAZY part of the body" and "cock" became "rooster OR reproductive organ (context permitting)". And, as a pun on the word 'filter', "saltwater" became "desalinated, potable water". | |

Fark.com filters "first post" to "boobies", which has become something of a Memetic Mutation. Especially since it resulted in things like "Benjamin Franklin was the boobiesmaster General of the U.S." instead of "first Postmaster General." It also changes "Fuck" to "Fark". | |

Amongst other words, the Allspark Transformers board changes "fuck" to "hug". This, combined with the site's purple coloration, led to a small purple Micromaster called Road Hugger becoming the site's mascot. | |
