I did find out this while doing programming assestment. There were such type as Q H a s h I t e r a t o r.

Yes, QHashIterator. But censor filter didn't like the way how sub-words "Hash" and "Iterator" were connected ;) So it censor two characters from boths, leaving QHa**erator instead.

Maybe a cesnsor filter should ignore censored words if they are not words in the sentence, but found inside other words? I.e. surrounded with letters (it's probably needed to still censor them if they will be surrounded by the other characters (digits or special characters)...

Hi Oleg,
As I wrote in that discussion, the whole idea of censorship is technically flawed and ethically undefendable.
Could we please remove the censor filter from Moodle for good?

Even if only for the residents of Scunthorpe (one of the finest Thorpes in North Lincolnshire)
