Filter Clarification

[Dean]

I think that now the word "****" has been unfiltered, it's pretty much advertising people to use the word in an inappropriate way.

I just think that if that's unfiltered then people are obviously going to use it in ways which they could easily insult people.

Also - don't people insult people using that way of spelling anyway?

In addition, even if it's against the rules, I'm sure people will be willing to break it, just like any other.

I dont think you're giving this forum's members enough credit as to how mature they are...

Before **** without the k was unfiltered and this was incorrect as that word has no other meanings whatsoever, by unfiltering **** we can allow it to be used in its innocent context which 90% of the time when the word without the k was used was used in an innocent context.

[KebabJuice]

Yes; door handle is named "****" why is it so offensive?

[Rixion]

Yes; door handle is named "****" why is it so offensive?

Because it's often used as slang.

[immense]

[Mathew]

[immense]

[scottish]

díck is a name unfilter that?
B S is an abbreviation for tons of things unfilter that?

[Hecktix]

We come under criticism for being too strict with the filter, then when we remove one word we come under more criticism.

It's clear the change cannot be handled so I'll ensure both forms of the word are filtered :)
