How you can help this little project of mine:

1) If you use Weibo and discover a banned word that’s not already in my list of banned words or on China Digital Times’ list, let me know!
2) Think there are a promising series of words that I should check? Suggest them to me! Bonus points if you place each word/term on a separate line to make it easier for me to import.
3) Found an error with one of my explanations or have a cool piece of info to add? Know an answer to one of my “why?” questions or want to write up a short summary of one of the blocked words that I haven’t posted about yet? I’d be happy to correct my entries or upload your own and credit you.

How: submit it to me via the form below. Alternatively, you can message me on Twitter @jasonqng or email me (my twitter handle with gmail.com appended).
