It's filtered, why?

The word in all its glory, avoiding filteryness, cover your eyes!:
h-o-e-s
What am I meant to do when I talk about farming and hoeing my field with ****?

And why isn't hoeing blocked but *** and **** is?

That's a good point. But I guess someone could say "You dirty ***"...

That's why you have A1:

A1. Respect other forum members ~ Always respect other forum members, this means do not be rude towards them and respect their opinions. You should not bully or victimise other members for any reason and you should not behave in a negative manner excessively.

I don't really see it as filter worthy. It's not particularly explicit or rude (certainly not as rude as somethings people call each other that are unfiltered).

When I next see Jin online I'll raise this with him.

Good point. I want to be able to quote Gwen Stefani lyrics.

Take a chance you stupid *** ♫

**** **** ****

There exists a much more inconspicuous way to avoid the filter.

Would people use the word "***/****" in an offensive way anyway? It's such a petty form of offensive language - it's why gangsters can pretty much get away with using it :P

By the way, did you bring this up because of the Minecraft updates thread? :P

You wouldn't get contacted about saying that by the way as its contextual.

That word is filtered because it is extremely offensive. I also have to say that I think it is damn right outrageous that you are able to bring this word upon us in unfiltered form, a spoiler and warning does not suffice. -rep.

I think it's very easy to see why such an offensive word would be filtered - it is far too easy to abuse this particular word.

If you're being serious, then I agree with you in that it should be filtered. If you weren't being serious then I disagree :P

What... Are you sure you're aware of the meaning this word has? Like most african-american slang words, this word is extremely offensive and should not be used on the forum.

You're kidding right? Who would get offended really? I mean, if you're going to be called that then there's probably good reason.

This forum needs to lighten up and clearly some of the members to ;) I can't wait until I can finally post about my great weekend with all my ******* and ****.

yes i'm aware it's another meaning for a woman or man to have sex with anyone with two legs..........

no need for such an overthetop reply

Just to rest everyone's poor innocent minds, the offensive homophone in this case is ho without the e (although sometimes with an apostrophe), which is not currently filtered, whereas the harmless gardening tool (or activity depending on usage) has been unfairly demonised, likely due to a misunderstanding.

These are facts that any brotha will account for

Words such as this should not even be discussed in my opinion, never mind actually USING them. So I therefore conclude that there is nothing more to really say here, I'm just astonished that the OP was able to post this awful word in an unfiltered form.

Im confused, you're homophobic and racist, yet you get so annoyed by an offensive (which in this case it isnt even) word? Am i the only one finding this incredibly ironic?

This is just going off topic now. I'll speak to the relevant people to see what I can do, for now the matter is - like this thread - closed.
