So, I gotta know...

Why exactly is Pony blocked by the filter? I know it just filtered it out, but you should probably know what I'm talking about.

[BrightSide]

I'm a little sad to say that actually I have no idea. Halp.

[Yurusumaji]

It's not filtered for me.

[kissthethunder]

She's something of a cause of controversy. I believe it's an attempt to nip it in the bud and keep the peace.

[CrystalCrown]

Because Loa put that filter there.

[BeverlysLittlePony2012]

I agree that it is because of the controversy surrounding her character.

[Vulpy]

Pony, as adorable as she may be, caused a lot of drama within the community. The best way to stop it was to make sure no one mentioned her.

[BrightSide]

Don't murder me for saying this, but 'Ditzy Doo' sounds really stupid to me. Like, sillier than her original name. :/

[kissthethunder]

All personal feelings aside on all sides, it's a rather off topic subject at the arena, and I support that. It's not because someone doesn't like her, or that someones being bigoted. It's a preventive measure because she sparks such passionate reactions from people. The arena wants to be a drama free place that keeps the peace.

My advice to everyone would be to leave it alone and don't discuss it.

I don't think discussing her is the issue. If people were able to just have a civil conversation about her, there wouldn't be a problem.

Good advice.

*insert sillytime* Are you being silly  ?  Ditzy Doo is her original name.  Now you are making me doubt what I thought was true! *end sillytime*  Ahhh wordfilter fun.

I miss April fools, now that was an epic wordfilter day.

But yeah, there is always way too much drama when our googly-eyed bubbly bottomed pegasus shows up in a topic.

Nailed it. We have no problem with the character at all. We ARE however, beyond sick and tired of everyone going at each other's throats every time there is a topic about it. I've locked more threads about her in the past few months than I ever locked threads in my whole time of being a moderator/admin here.

Loa simply filtered it to match the unofficial name that Faust gave her.

[Shenanigans]

I'm still a bit confused why she sparks so much passionate debate. Perhaps I need to watch the episode she's in *confused*
