I can not post the word Lynx

[Eric Bourlet]

What the heck? I have had this problem before. If I try to post or even send a mesage to a user with the word L--x or Sh---n I get the error below. Did I miss something? Have those boat names been some how banned from IW?

It is a very interesting thing isn't it? And it seem's to have been put "in effect" quite awhile ago.

Somebody with all the knobs an switches I suppose,,
