Swear filter

[Don_Marko]

We're all adults here right? Since language is only means of expression and internet does not belong to anyone and therefore should not be censoring our freedom of speach.

I dunno... what do you guys think?

I can't believe this site still has the swear filter on. What, are we in kindergarten? Like the above poster said, we're adults here, living in an adult world, where these words are part of everyday vocabulary. I thought this was a site for guys to speak their minds, not for mormons. We better start deleting threads to do with sex and kissing and stuff, don't want to offend anyone...

I was once told that this was to prevent from people finding sites like this by typing swear words.. which too me sounds like a good thing as there are enough perverts here as it is

Besides.. we all know what **** and **** and ****** means

People might find the site cause of swear words?! I bet there's a whole bunch of sites with more swearing than this one. There's people who sit around all day trying to push their site up the 'pvssy' rank-list in Google.

Just for fun, I did a search for 'f*ck' on Google and got this as the #1 link:

What The F*ck!? v3.2 ... The #1 "f*ck" site on the internet

Seems there are actually websites dedicated to swear words!

Oh, and if you're determined to avoid the *'s, just add [b][/b] in the middle of the word. [Edit: But don't do this, unless you plan on it being your last post, see crazykid's later post in this thread]

Actually, I don't mind if 'f*ck' is removed, but 'pvssy' is useful in many conversations. I like how 'kazzaa' is *'d out too, I'd keep that one how it is, keeps away spam posts.

[Ever onward]

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK PUSSY

swearing is cool

 

[Pac_Man]

How are you able to do that?

 

[Gold Heart]

^ put the bold tags in the middle of the word.

I think the swear-filter is pointless. It should be taken out and anybody who just gets out of line, the mods'll take care of him

Moved to Suggestions & Feedback... where this has already been beaten to death before...

Here's an idea. I go to these other forums, and their swear filter is set to on by defaut, but you can go in your user cp and disable it if you want. Only registered members who have decided to turn off the filter can see the words. Non-members and members who have not turned it off see the asteriks. I think it is some mod/plugin for VBulletin.

(Sorry if I was a bit repetitive.)

 

[comic_relief]

not again

stop with the damn swear filter already.

The bishop is right. Guys Allen will not remove the swear filter. Give it up. Allen even commented on this awhile ago. I was looking up posts like this and you would be suprised at how many times people says get rid of the swear filter.

plus how about you guys just talk civily and you won't worry about the swear filter.

"We're all adults here right?"
no some of the other people are not adults and would just put the F word in here the entire long it would sound something like this "I met this Fvcken babe. She was so fvcken hot. I swear i had my mind on fvcken her..." It would go on forever with the f word. I don't care to see it or hear it.

Since language is only means of expression and internet does not belong to anyone and therefore should not be censoring our freedom of speach.
This website is not a democracy my friend. This is a dictatorship made by Allen. Just like a club he can exclude people by simply banning him.

In conclusion stop with the "take away the swear filter" because it has been beaten to death.

Like baseball said, the filter is here to stay.

Also, it is a bannable offense to go around the swear filter. That is how *insert a few names here* have been banned.

Also, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CHECK BEFORE POSTING!!

Bishop is right, this has been beaten to death. Take some time to read people.

But why are words like ***** filtered? I mean, people will say things like

But I didn't try for number close , partly cos I'm a ***** and partly cos it was going so well I wanted it to be anchored as a positive experience making it easier for next time.

(from the DJ bible somewhere) and I have nooooo clue what he meant. I mean which is more important, not seeing a bad word or getting the point across. Anyone wanna help me out? What 5 letter word did he possibly say?


I refer you all to "Penn and Teller: BULL****" http://www.sho.com/site/ptbs/topics.do?topic=profanity

I found this thread through a search on WHY there is a word filter. Of all the sites, this is the one where you can't say ****
