I just tried to post a pic with the name Oh****.jpg & the software changed the link to it to Oh****.jpg Isn't that cute?

Haha! I looked at "Preview" & it did it here, too! Seems that OhSh-t.jpg will work though.
(Sigh!)

That is not really a major problem is it?? Violation against freedom of speech? :) I agree that it should not touch embedded filenames, though.

I have to wonder just where changing filenames starts & stops, don't you?
Commonly filtered terms have been "Superbowl XXX", "breast cancer", "Jehovah's Witnesses", "Shaman", "Hare Krishna", "Brethren", "jenny", "BLACK" and the consecutive letters "s," "e" and "x," which block "sexton" and "Mars exploration". Even "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs " have been blocked.
If anyone has an interest, see the bottom of:

Then use OhCrap, or OhShít...
I always find it humorous when people complain about "freedom of speech" and "censorship" on a privately run forum.

The censorship reference (Isn't that Special?) was an observation of an "undocumented feature". The complaint was about the changed filename - "I have to wonder just where changing filenames starts & stops, don't you?"
