When I mentioned in a post that a college would “autoadmit into” an engineering program. The post was partially censored and the word a u t o a d m i t was replaced with all *****
What is going on? Did I miss some offensive word? Why would the word for “automatically allow admission” be censored?
My first thought was that this was a generation thing that I had somehow missed a slang connotation of the word, but I haven’t been able to find any and it seems to be quite a normal, boring, inoffensive word to me.
A-u-t-o-A-d-m-i-t is another college forum, so CC censors it :))
Probably had a few representatives from that company masquerading as actual users at one point and spammed the community with their links. That has happened quite a bit over the years with various organizations. By the way, I took a look and given where it was in the censored word list I’d say it’s been there for years.
