How is "The Jackal" able to type out curse words on Yahoo Answers without getting them censored?

Interesting, isn't it? Anyone ever notice this?

Update:

Lalana: That's not really Rio. And it didn't respond twice under the same name. Those are clone accounts set up by The Jakal.

    Well... I WOULD tell you but you never choose Best Answers for your questions :(

    Guess I HAVE to tell you if I don't want to be reported.

    It's simple really. Go to Start < Programs < Accessories < System Tools < Character Map.

    From there, you can choose symbols looking like normal alphabet letters.

    No, not yet. Had plenty of violations and deleted questions (for reasons that are still a mystery to me!) A few quotes on censorship, for your consideration: Censorship reflects society's lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime. ~ Potter Stewart Nature knows no indecencies; man invents them. ~ Mark Twain, Notebook, 1935 Censorship feeds the dirty mind more than the four-letter word itself. ~Dick Cavett You can cage the singer but not the song. ~ Harry Belafonte, in International Herald Tribune, 3 October 1988 (you really got JJ going here! LOL ... she is a corker!)

    Well obviously Miss Rio got away with it as well. I have tried to write a word and it's always bleeped and my words are not near as bad as that evil f-word acronym. What I want to know is how Miss Rio answered twice!

    hey, i got a conspiracy theory for this one!!

    he works for Yahoo! so he can do & say whatever he wants and it's endorsed by Yahoo! this CLEARLY shows that Yahoo is run by chauvanistic pigs.!! lol!! j/k!

    ... or maybe he's just got some sneaky code or he's a hacker.

    i don't really care. anyone who has nothing but curse words for vocabulary has little of worth to say.

    Jackal -- I think you're falling in love with Rio Madeira!

    That's right, you said in an earlier post that you were sexually attracted to a feminist. Now we know who!

    Especially since you love foul-mouthed bitches sooooo much!
