The other, seemingly random censorship is only to divert people's attention from the real thing. This is a ususal practice by Yahoo. Did you forget that the GMail invites were automatically deleted from Yahoo Mail (they did not appear even in the Spam folder)? I advice all of you to switch to GTalk.

If it is censorship, they would just ban/modify the message whether it is in lower case or upper case. However, the fact remains that there is some (buggy) code written to check the status messages. @ Choto Cheeta: Chill man! :) Privacy policies are for sensitive private things. What's so private or sensitive about a status message? From the little R&D I did under Kalpik’s “guidance” ;) I feel it is (auto-correct) bug and not censorship.
