* In ''[[Bob and George]]'', the phrase "There is no [[Plot Hole]]!" is something of a [[Running Gag]]. The forums reflect this by automatically filtering "plot hole" to "spoon". (Because, as ''[[The Matrix]]'' taught us, there is no spoon, either.)
* The ''[[Hello Cthulhu]]'' forum used to have an autocensor which took phrases popular with spammers and replaced them with phrases popular with Lovecraft. This was deemed to have reached perfection when an actual spammer, with no moderation, posted:
{{quote| The only crypt shop you'll ever need! Dismembered corpses available with squirming maggots! Safe! Legal! Cheap! <ref>the word "viagra" was also replaced with "fungi" in their url, prompting moderators to leave the whole thing intact since the link was broken.</ref>}}
* The [[Kingdom of Loathing]] forum censors the "word" alot. It's smart enough to only censor the word when it's the entire word, but it ''isn't'' smart enough to avoid censoring it when it's part of a url, leading to a Scunthorpe-like problem when people try to link, for instance, [http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html here].
* Genvid's [[Sailor Moon]] forum censors "lol" with "rantipole."

* One of the most entertaining examples can be found circulating through the Net, and appears to have originated at the latest in 2004. It comes from an IRC channel for Christian religious discussion on an Australian server, which was provided with an automated moderator bot as well as a bot that coughed up [[The Bible|Bible]] verses on demand:
{{quote|<nowiki>***</nowiki> Now talking in #christian

&lt;Abstruse&gt; I know I'm never going to be able to come back in this channel again after this, but damn was it worth it to see that...}}
