[Suggestion] Remove word censor and emoticon recognition in tags

[Perception]

I'll preface this by saying I don't understand the intricacies of the coding in this website. Therefore I'm not sure of the feasibility of the idea I'm going to suggest. Lately I've been having trouble posting videos due to the word censor and the emoticon recognition inherent in the forums. For example if in a URL a group of letters happen to form a curse word or an emoticon then youtube and video tags will not work. I suspect the same is true for any tag that makes use of URLs. In such cases the URLs would then be read by the tags as,

www.somerandomlink.com/#psj=1&q=*** or www.somerandomlink.com/gzGLolwKw

I suggest if it is possible to take the word censor and emoticon recognition out of tags. Of course this may need to be implemented with some logic that prevents people from using tags to post curse words. Something like,

call tag
 if (any combination of letters are recognized as a curse word or emoticon in URL)
  if (Data produced in tag from uncensored link > Data produced in tag from censored link)
   Override censor and emoticon recognition
  end
 end

Of course as I said I don't know how feasible this is but it is just a suggestion. I may just have bad luck in picking videos.

You can " Disable smilies in text" using advanced options and checking the column in. If it's turned off by default then it would be more difficult for everyone in using them. Words censors cannot be removed for we need them to filter out various problematic contents.
