Ok now this is getting stupid

[tbh imo no m8]

I have been pulled up twice for avoiding the filter by saying ***. It come out in stars anyway so how is that avoiding the filter? Some of these new mods need to read the mod guide i think. Anyone else had any problems?

[Seatherny]

*** Lol Dan ***
Just PM it to Baving ;) and he will sort it

[tbh imo no m8]

Kk can give it a go ;). Its just annoying no one did it when i was a mod lol so why now? And *** isn't even a thing that should be filtered?

They probably edit it as they think you swore and it came out as stars. If I swear now, it will come out something like ****, so they might have thought you were swearing?
I dunno

[tbh imo no m8]

Well tbh i said *** Not exactly swearing and it came out as *** so i was so called swearing but wernt avoiding the filter.

Edit by smiddy1234 (Forum Moderator) - Please do not avoid the forum filter, it is there for a reason. ;)

Well, if you think about it, in a way, that 3 letter word is swearing. but meh

[tbh imo no m8]

[tbh imo no m8]

In the moderator guide it doesnt say to do anything if someone goes "***" but because we dont know what the user acctually typed I think its best to edit it with the 'Please dont avoid the filter' thing...

If that made sense? :P

[tbh imo no m8]

Yea i know but i didn't avoid the filter :p. Thats what it is there for so you can say em but it won't appear :p.

[Uwe]

No it isn't ;s if it comes out as **** he didn't avoid the filter ;s I think some mods are just trying to abuse their powers.

Dankashan :).

Wait, I'm confused... Avoiding the filter is going round the stars? So if the 'What the F' abreviation is filtered you can't do wtf, because it is avoiding the filter, but if you just type '***' (<-- That is 'What the F' in abreviations), then thats fine?

Someone really needs to rewrite these rules.

[tbh imo no m8]

I know using it with the italics is avoiding it i did that just to show you what i said and how it should not be filtered but in my post i actually put ***.

Yeah, which is perfectly okay because you are not avoiding the filter, you are letting the filter work.

[tbh imo no m8]

Exactly so why i get warned twice for it :@.

[micky.blue.eyes]

They just want to anoy you?

But EternalMasque said that no further action has been taken, so everything is fine.

[tbh imo no m8]

Yea i know i was j/w if it had happened to anyone else a lot?

[micky.blue.eyes]

Not to me, I'm a good boy. :eusa_ange
I try to avoid typing words that are filtered, I don't like stars in my posts.

[tbh imo no m8]

lol Tbh i didn't know it would be filtered it isn't filtered on rs and that is saying something lmao.

[micky.blue.eyes]

lol Tbh i didn't know it would be filtered it isn't filtered on rs and that is saying something lmao.
Lol, but rs is different. S's are often randomly filtered. =/

[tbh imo no m8]

lol
I know but wth <-- but swap the h for a f Is filtered here but on rs it isn't lol So rs has such a strong filter too lol.

[JackHb]

Hmm a PM to the forum manager would of done :P

[MattUH]

i've had this before its so annoying i end up fighting with the mods "/

Wonder how many user notes i got.

[Smiddy]

I don't mention swearing whenever I remove words from posts, just say "Please do not avoid the forum filter", because it is there for a reason is it not? ;)

I rarely add usernotes for that situation though.. only if it's a serious case like they're abusing a member with it o.0

[tbh imo no m8]

But i didn't avoid it ;).

[Smiddy]

But i didn't avoid it ;).Ah, you did earlier in this thread. You used the italics to make it appear.

I would do the same to Post #15 on this thread, but he is staff :rolleyes:

[tbh imo no m8]

I know but it was showing as an example ;). :p

[Smiddy]

I know but it was showing as an example ;). :p:rolleyes_ Well, good thing I didn't add a usernote then wasn't it

lol :p How do i know :D.

[Mentor]

at the beginning people seemed a little confused about what avoiding a filter is?

if i say ****, i just swore, but the filter changed it to stars. Thats what the filter is there for, thats its job.
Avoiding the filter would be modering the sware word so it didnt appear as stars and was readable, which means it wasnt filtered, hence was agaisnt the rules.
If its filtered, it isnt breaking the rules. It would kinda defeat the purpos of a filter if it were...#

Edit:

Your calling me sad?

Your the SAD LITTLE ******N00B CALLING PEOPLE SADOS **** ****ING **** BAG


Good example of the stupidity. I read the thread, it was stared like that with the filter

I come back later, stars are highlighted red and message is added, yet no one avoided the filter to start with, true it was a very dip****ish comment, but still the way it was delt with is equally stupid "/
