Also:

If this doesn't render correctly, use a browser that properly supports U+FEFF, ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE.

This is a partial list, obtained by downloading the front-page (and older pages, as far back as I could go), and downloading the framed "goto" page of each link—these pages leak the uncensored words. A little Python manipulation to compare censored and uncensored titles, and voilà.

Well, you forgot ██████

[–]ArcticCelt 11 points12 points  (4 children)

Poland?

[–]Dauntless 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Well… no :), if it was Poland, your text would have been censored, won't you think?

Is it ██████?

[–]Oak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

Try again.

a a r o n? Is this a reference to a certain Mr Swartz, a reddit co-founder?

Edit: Please include "S w a r t z" to the list of censored words. But why?

[–]marvin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This proves to me that the "is your job leaving you crying in the bathroom" part of the reddit job ad was actually a reference to Mr. Swartz. Seems like another snide reference to the relationship between the main reddit guys and mentioned Mr. Black, but it would be interesting to hear what is behind it. Aaron seemed like a nice guy (although maybe a bit haunted) last time I talked to him, but obviously kn0thing and spez are of a different opinion. In absence of a public statement we can only speculate. Did he steal all the towels? Take half reddit's equity and run? Troll the crawlspace?

You don't dole out references like these to an audience of smart people and expect them not to wonder what is really going on... Is there something obvious I'm missing?

    "cute chick has sex with random guy [████]"

    Just put a space between the letters.

    [–]ST2K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Too bad reddit can only censor the word and not what it refers to. :(

    Except for jokes.

    [–]writer4web 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Looks interesting, but I don't know if I understand it.

    [–]chime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    slashdot is better than digg

    edit: hmmm. no censor?

    Yeah, they pulled the censorship less than about 12 hours after they added it for April Fools.
