We have a new policy of censoring certain mature words and content. Our terms of service always stated that mature content was not allowed. But if you have ad free credits words/content will not be censored or affected at all. This was necessary step that had to be implemented to be in compliance with advertiser policies.

If you are currently using Twitter Topics features you will have to update the settings under Twitter Topic Settings in the admin area and click the twitter signin button to link your accounts.

We have updated our system to support OAuth for Twitter which will be required for everyone to use by August 16, 2010. If you do not upgrade by then the twitter topics for topics will not worked till you have it linked.

Benefits are that we are no longer storing your username and password for twitter which will make it more secure and the OAuth unlocks more potential api uses.
