Option to turn filtered words on/off?

[Hiro]

I know there has been a lot of complaints/discussions about the filtering of some words.
And, I don't know if there is a plugin for this, but what about having an option (tick box), on the User CP, whether or not to have the word filters turned on/off?
It's worth a discussion though, right?

/discuss.

[msb.]

I think this MAY have been suggested b4 but then odd words that are not filtered may still be shown to guest users... And patching all the filtered words may be hard... too many swearing words and slang words.


sorry wrong-name but hope that helps

[benjamin]

i think it'd be a well good idea, whether it's possible/they will do it.. hmm..

god you chat so much ****.

i suggested this in another thread the other day and it would be useful.

i just did a quick search on google and it looks like you can only get it as a hack unless administrators assign it to each user

umm the truth hurts, right? lol

i am sure atleast 1 forum staff agree with me :S?

you rambled on about it being hard to patch filtered words, do you even know what you're on about?

and your statement 'the truth hurts, right?' makes no sense whatsoever.

I don't know much about forums but from reading doesn't they just block out words, right?

Basically I think your missing my point jumping

[kk.]

msb. the idea is that the user decides whether or not swear words are censored.

I guess you could make two groups, registered and censored. Youre automatically put into censored but when you go to the groups page (like when you join the pixel artist group) you can change.

[benjamin]

if you don't know much about forums then why are you trying?
and no, it'd be like habbo, as the thread started said - tick a box to unfilter the language.

why are you calling me by my old habbo name :S

Yes I am kind of for the thing BUT I am saying, pretend I log out then visit a thread, reading through the thread there will probz be a word that has not been filtered.

I believe i am calling u from your previous name? Name change?
also read above please, I am saying if guests, jumping

[Yoshimitsui]

Either way i don't like the idea. It just encourages foul language for a pointless reason of wich people would abuse it.
Also it doesn't go away, and i don't particulaly want to have to look at "F" this n "S" this in every other thread. It doesn't look nice at all.

[kk.]

yes, but obviously guests are in the censored group...

to above... if you dont want to see it then obviously go in the censored group lol. i think most of us are old enough to make our own decision on what to read and say.

Thanks, see sum1 gets what I mean, I personally think it just will encourage swearing... it won't make this site look good..


yes, but obviously guests are in the censored group...
Yes I know but there are still words that I never came across, weird unusual words... and posting in other languages like swear words... it doesn't look good for habbox + I heard plugins don't get installed here as sum security risk, I don't know, i read it tbh, don't go angry plz

youd speak on here how you would speak in real life. anyway, for the people who want to know what people are talking about and dont want to guess what **** means, youd still see the stars anyway it just doesnt make sense what youre saying

I am saying, people may find swear words that are not common and may use it to call others... or try to be smart and post in another language and swear... Now If I was from example france... and then came to this habbo official site what has been posted earlier then I would not be impressed to see a person swearing in french...

get me now?

[benjamin]

yes but why call me my old name? i don't use it anymore .. hence the 'old'? you can reffer to me as spandex, thanx!!

and yes, guests, they would see words filtered. everyone would see words filtered unless the filter was turned off - what this is suggesting? :rolleyes:

and msb., if people find 'uncommon' swear words and use them, they will get filtered if they aren't already - if they post in another language, they get infractioned - it's against the rules. deary deary me.

no because you will get that now anyway....

to yoshi, i dont see how it encourages it because i dont talk differently on here, id still post swear words knwoing that they would be filtered. Id be no way more inclined to swear if the filter was off because, well, theres no filter on speach is their :P

Sorry spandex then... I will stop if you don't like it, just remembered ya, also "kk.." just say if people keep getting banned, how many complaints? How much hard work it would be to find a forum mod that knows over atleast 6 languages lol, the words will be hard to find and every1 may not report it.

FGS, get this into your head, if you have words that no-one has heard of, for one, no-one will understand them, 2, they WILL NOT BE FILTERED ANYWAY, meaning that if this was not to go ahead, then you will still see them on the filtered option. and 3, foreign languages are FORBIDDEN.

Yes I am saying that it may encourage others to post in another language, more infractions, more people banned, less members, more complaints, as for people not understanding it, people that speak the language may.

[kk.]

people would not be encouraged to post in another language? how the hell did you come to that conclusion. the foreing language words are not filtered on here?

[Nick.]

LOL.

my ipod/iphone skin never even got bothered about, we even posted a pre made skin on the vbulletin site for them to install - would of taken 2 minutes. they couldn't be bothered. as per usual...

Okay thats ur view, some may, some may not...

[jackass]

It wouldn't work.

Example; Person 1 has filter on. Person 2 avoids the filter. Person 1 is offended. Moderators can't infraction person 2 because they don't know whos got it filtered and who hasn't.

Maybe hard to get, but read it a few times. ;)

[GommeInc]

Wasn't msb. leaving? Jeez, such an attention seeking twit... IF the filter was allowed to be turned off, guests would not be able to turn it off nor see any swear words unless for some unknown reason the filter isn't picking up swear words which has happened before I believe? Plus they cannot access a User CP where they can turn the filter on and off (which is where the option to turn it off would be placed), So no msb., you do not know what you're saying, especially when people realise you don't know what you're saying and slowly change your story after each post after that :rolleyes: I really do think msb. should be ignored on the forum by default, to save other users from his posts where he is "trying" to be smart and understands what he is talking about... Has no-one noticed he just returned from no where, so really cannot judge on what to do when he wasn't there to see them implicated...

You are here to annoy, you said it in your other thread. You're here for fun and you ARE annoying people. You shouldn't be allowed membership plus shouldn't be apart of these forums if you're just going to have "fun" by pretending you know what you're talking about plus annoying people in the process. Why post a leaving forum when you weren't leaving? Asking for people to vote was stupid, because you weren't planning on leaving, just asking for attention, and most people voted yes to you leaving I believe?

[buttons]

dunno if this has been said, but on habmate you get like a 15+ forum where you can swear and that, and it aint all over the forum get me?

[Catzsy]

Yes, we do have a 15+ forum at HabMate but because it is a small site it is easy to police. I think it would be almost impossible here. Most senior management are pretty bogged down with work at the best of times so I would have thought this is something that the thread starter may have researched whether it is even possible as I do not believe there is anyway you can have have an option where you could turn off the filter for individual members in Vbulliten.

Argueing that certain words should be removed from the filer is a great deal of difference to this suggestion.

[FlyingJesus]

As much as I'd like this to work, it wouldn't, so I'm against this idea I'm afraid. We all saw what happened when "*****" and "piss" were unfiltered, and that took far too long for the novelty to wear off for some people. Suddenly allowing everyone to say anything just by changing an option would basically amount to the same thing as if the site redirected to lemonparty again.

edit: That said, I think a solution may be to allow VIP subforums to be more lenient - allowing the subforum owners to have more control over moderation in their areas and making moderators less aggressive in them would give certain freedoms and allow for more decent usergroups to come up.

I can put this in bullet points to make it is easier for you

Is this even possible to make yet, do you know any1, no, exactly.
I thought plugins or w/e they are called don't get installed on here very often, read in past thread.
Why did you suddenly come up with that, was there any need?
I am here for fun/help others, NOT TO ANNOY *caps, take note pls*
I don't think putting me on default is good even if u agree or w/e... the forum doesn't cost money to join so I am free to join it.
You don't understand my view against this, your problem is that if I am against an idea that your NOT, you turn it into arguments from a council representative I thought you would know this.
Explaination of what I mean :), If turning it off and I visit habboxforum
*not logged in* then people may swear in another language besides english, yes they can infract them for breaking a rule for speaking another languge but it will just encourage others to speak in another language to swear.

If you don't get that then pm me, I am happy to help.

[GommeInc]

-Is this even possible to make yet, do you know any1, no, exactly.

Actually yes, although it's a hack which Habbox are against. Most things PHP/HTML wise is possible on a forum, it just depends whether or not it is safe. So no, you don't know what you're on about.

- I thought plugins or w/e they are called don't get installed on here very often, read in past thread.

What's that got to do with anything? I'm not for the idea so don't put words in my mouth "/

-Why did you suddenly come up with that, was there any need?

Same could be said to you, is there any need for you to post thinking you know what you're saying? No. Is there any need to annoy members? No. Is there any need for you to be part of this forum when you're here to have FUN (which is annoy by the looks of it)? No.

-I am here for fun/help others, NOT TO ANNOY *caps, take note pls*

Well you're very bad at helping. Don't commit yourself to help someone when you are just end up annoying people.

- I don't think putting me on default is good even if u agree or w/e... the forum doesn't cost money to join so I am free to join it.

True, but when you annoy people by failing to help (like you said) then there's no point joining when your user experience, as well as others' experiences aren't as good as they could be.

- You don't understand my view against this, your problem is that if I am against an idea that your NOT, you turn it into arguments from a council representative I thought you would know this.

From a council point of view (which is no different to any other point of view) it needs to work and needs to be possible to work. I am against this idea, when did I say I was for it? Again, you don't read things and just change your story which is annoying, thus you annoy people.

- Explaination of what I mean :), If turning it off and I visit habboxforum
*not logged in* then people may swear in another language besides english, yes they can infract them for breaking a rule for speaking another languge but it will just encourage others to speak in another language to swear.

If the filter was turned off... Why would people swear in another language? If they are guests and they see people writing in a foreign language, how would they know they're swearing? Unless you beleive ALL guests know swear words in every language possible :rolleyes:


If you don't get that then pm me, I am happy to help.
Why? You fail to help and your PMs are unwanted spam anyway "/

This would be good, eg; Habbo they had done this. If this was done then we can use them.

My God you've got your head down the toilet... You said "Is this even possible to make yet, do you know any1, no, exactly." It is possible, "end of." This is why no-one likes you on this forum and voted "Yes" to you leaving, because you are annoying, you change your stories to try to look smart, but you are not. So what you bolded had nothing to do with the discussion. Jeez, just leave.

I don't

[---MAD---]

I am sorry to say but there is no chance in this happening.

We are against people using filtered words. Doing this will simply encourage it because some people will be able to see what the words used are.

You have all seen what people did/are doing when we unfiltered piss and *****. There are so many immature users that simply ruin it for everyone else. We try to make the censor relaxed by giving everyone some sense of freedom, but they use the rope to hang themself with it.

We are a lot more relaxed about the filter on the chat system mainly because the text on there disappears from the screen after a few minutes (which is why it's fine for Habbo to offer an option as the text disappears a few seconds later). On the forum however, the text remains forever for people to read therefore we simply cannot allow users to be exposed to inappropriate language.

Also, msb., I am a little tired of your posts. Please behave or you will be banned.

Yes but mad, the fact that the user would have agreed to view the filtered words shouldnt give rise to any complaints. Its their decision to see it and i dont see how it would encourage foul language, f people are too immature to see that they are being given more responsibility then just ban them for excessive swearing (temp ban). I wouldnt swear any more or less if their was a filter but it would be nice not to guess what people are trying to say.

Im sure their was something else that i was going to say but oh well.

On the msb. front, i agree. Every post you make seems to be the complete opposite to what the thread is about and is always negative. You disagree with the majority of the forum all the time and you try to be clever by using peoples old names which just looks stupid.

no because it can still be discussed. Youre trying to turn it into something by saying surely that is the end of it?. why do you insist to contradict everything that people have suggested and be so moronic by trying to be clever and telling everyone what their previous/habbo name was.

Please read the edit i made aswell.

[GommeInc]

Why did he tell you not to spam then? If said you didn't start the arguments, he would of said that rather than the opposite, that you do cause arguments which turn into spam, which you are doing. This is the point, you change what people say to make you look in the right and clever, and just general spam and annoy people...

Also, some people agree with you, it's not msb. vs. every member on Habbox, you do realise? I don't think there should be an on/off switch to the filter, I just disagreed with your lame comment that you cannot get such a feature, when you can, then you made up some comment about hacks aren't real (or suggested it at least) which further proves you don't know what you are saying and are just spamming...

Also, MAD doesn't really have the final say. All ideas are discussed within management, and it doesn't mean all discussions can be cut off after that, because you never know, time may change the outcome when it's brought up again :rolleyes:

Well then I am sorry for disagreeing... old names, I stopped that ages as soon as they said... Turning it into something else, hardly? Others ask me something, so I reply I am actually 100% true, I also post on topic...
e.g. On topic: then I say my comment...

Do you research next time please.

ON TOPIC: Surely it would just cause more problems?

[e5]

Either way i don't like the idea. It just encourages foul language for a pointless reason of wich people would abuse it.
Also it doesn't go away, and i don't particulaly want to have to look at "F" this n "S" this in every other thread. It doesn't look nice at all.
Habbo do it and tbh they are much more proffesional than any fansite, obviously. We're teens, we swear. end of. Although I don't swear anymore much because of a girl ;)
