Algorithmic censorship is a bad idea
<p>I notice that the title of one of my recent reviews was censured, prseumably because it contains the word *********, although meaning something completely different. Now the title of my review - which is a complaint to MTN titled "Not on network after a week - customer care proving o-x-y-*********-i-c" - reads as if I intended to use asterisks to self-censor an expletive. Besides the fact that I would never self-censor any word, choosing rather to select the appropriate words instead of primary school styles of expression, the word is in itself neither derogatory nor rude, and obviously in no way relates to the word that you feel inappropriate (which evaluation, by the way, is misguided, as in my experience that word could fairly and accurately apply to many companies and company policies, not to even consider employees). I also find it interesting that this hair-trigger censorship policy that you enforce does not cover words like "*****ing", which I found in its original form on other reviews, despite the word "*****ing" being inherently derogatory and more than likely unproven at the time of use. Well, that's my take on a bad policy misapp****. </p>
