Remove **** from the filter

[Kardan]

Since the other thread got wrongly closed,

Can we get dick removed from the filter please?

[Kyle]

such a good thread makes so much sense

feel free to actually avoid the current filter to establish what it is youre trying to say, otherwise we can't have a proper discussion about it :/

[Chris]

Why would we need to remove it from the filter?

[wixard]

because it's someones name

You're allowed to avoid the filter in feedback if the thread is discussing the filter.

[Samantha]

I think it could be removed, not only because it's a name, but also it's not exactly hard to moderate if someone uses it offensively?

Like "Hello, I'm Dick."

"You're a stupid dick."

If I remember correctly, it's fine to avoid the filter if the thread is about it so don't warn me (A).

[Kardan]

Why would we need to remove it from the filter?

Can you tell me why it needs to be on the filter?

[FlyingJesus]

Maybe you should remove dick from YOUR filter haaaaaaaaaaa I'm here all week

[Kyle]

when the thread was posted your post contained "****". am not a complete idiot lol

penis is a technical term, **** is used in a more derogatory manner. avoiding it >more people going to use it that way "no need to b a diick", etc. just playing devil's advocate dont -rep

is ****** still filtered? yes. feggot is still filtered, same reason as above I am assuming.

[Aiden]

Maybe Habbox can give permission for avoiding filter when using names. :P

[e5]

Rarely do we get people saying hello I am dick. People will just constantly use it as an offensive word.... "He's a ****" "what a ****" and just not the sort of thing I want to see plastered over the forum. Use some proper vocabulary.

Oh and Kardan; there was also nothing wrong about closing a thread bumped with "cute" from 2008.

I haven't got a clue what your top line even means?

If we can't say dick because it's the derogatory term for penis, then why is piss not filtered when that's the derogatory term for urine?

[Chris]

Can you tell me why it needs to be on the filter?

Because it's an inappropriate word for a Habbo based forum. It isn't at all necessary to use it and nobody on this forum actually has that name. If their name is Richard then call them Richard.

What's wrong with saying 'What a dick' (assuming it's not said at a forum member?) - Is it any different to 'What a ****'

Wow, **** is filtered.

Ok, is it any different to saying 'What a wang' or 'What a schlong'

It isn't necessary to say lmfao when you can say lmao :P

[e5]

As I said, it's not the sort of stuff we want to see the forum plastered with. Clearly your example is the same since it's filtered ;)

So a thread can be closed for a bump even if the posts after it are relevant to the thread? Seems illogical.

Ok, two questions to Chris; and e5; then:

1) Is there anyone on this forum that is offended by the word dick? I mean, half the forum is 18+...

2) Explain how dick is more offensive then piss, lmfao, omfg, wtf, ffs.

3) How is 'What a penis' any less offensive than 'What a dick'

[lemons]

i wanted to make a thread about my fav show **** and dom in da bungalow but now i wont

You'll have to use one of the other less offensive words for dick:

GO GO SCHLONG AND DOM IN DA BUNGALOW.

Makes it an entirely different show now...

The first post in that thread was breaking the rules and was closed on that basis. The fact people replied to it to purposely keep it on topic was irrelevant to me and didn't play a part in whether I kept the thread open or not. There was no need to re-activate a thread dating back 5 years when a new one could have been made with current issues, that of which have changed over 5 years, believe it or not.

1) Yes, there probably is and I'd rather we prevent other from being offended. I don't know the statistics on ages on here but I wouldn't say it was half.
2) Why don't we just unfilter all rude words? I mean this could go on forever.

Did you read the thread? There was a big discussion on unfiltering dick - hence why I thought it was relevant to post in the same thread? Doesn't matter anyway, since we have this thread now.

1) Did you not see the 'How old are you?' poll recently, I'm pretty sure 50% was over 19, but I said 18 to be safe.
2) It's not really an unnecessary problem (if it was, wouldn't you just ignore this thread and carry on?) - I just think it's silly for people to be warned for saying dick. (Especially since I posted in a feedback thread about the filter - which is allowed).

Why is this word so important to you to be unfiltered? Is this a word you commonly use, can you not think of better words to describe your feelings?

The filter for this isn't going to change.

Doesn't crop up on the forum?

http://www.habboxforum.com/search.php?searchid=1990318

That's searching for the term 'di.ck'

[Kyle]

piss isnt a derogatory term lol it's just a taboo term. different meanings ,different results when it comes to protecting teens online

Because it's a stupid word to be filtered. And no, I need to use the word ****. I mean, I feel stupid for saying:

Look at this interview with Conan O'Brien and Schlong van Dyke.

Thought this might happen, clearly you can only see searches on your own account.

You try it yourself, you get 28 results.

[FlyingJesus]

28/98 are under 18, we get approx 250 members visiting a day, that's 2.5 times the number of people who responded to the poll, let's suppose for some reason that the underage members are misrepresented by that figure (although it's likely not the case) 28*2.5=70 which incidentally is the number of people who said they were 18 or over, which makes 50% otherwise known as half. Magic

And have you ever, before, said 'Look at this interview....." or anything similar needing that word on the forum before? Or are you still being being difficult for no reason?

I mentioned Schlong van Dyke yesterday actually :P

If you search for posts with 'Di.ck' in you get 142 results, now take into account other variations of bypassing the filter, D.ick, D!ck. Now take into account people that bypass the filter like I do by putting in some BBCode into the word (not sure if you can search for that, wouldn't let me search for '****'), and then take into consideration the posts that had '****' in but were filtered.

[Francis]

Don't you have to be older than 13 to join anyways? I'm pretty sure the majority hears ****, penis, ****, *****, ****, **** in real life.. Didn't know teenagers need to be filtered, I understand if you're using it negatively towards a user, but other than that. No. Just no.

If things don't happen regularly there's no point giving them any credence and they're irrelevant right

[Kyle]

stop being difficult and give an actual reason you think it should b removed, not because of the rare occasions that people are going to want to discuss a certain actor.

[e5]

Surprised I got two actually.

e5 is right on this occasion

3 now?

You are such a penis head for pointing that out(!).

[Francis]

And I also would like to point out, ***** is used on TV in America, and we highly censor our TV. Why is it filtered here? I mean if it's allowed on TV during Primetime, then it should be allowed to be said on a forum.

[e5]

Majority of them are people using it as an offensive term, not using it to say someones name? and then people also using it to use it in feedback as an example of a filtered word or in other forums.

American TV also allows wank/****** because most of the population don't use those words which always amuses me

What context is it used in?

[Kardan]

Because it's someone's name, because it doesn't need to be on the filter because it's not an offensive word...

We're allowed to say ffs, lmfao, wtf etc.

[Francis]

It's used as -- She's a stupid ***** or What a *****, all ways. It's allowed.

e5

[Kyle]

but it is used in an offensive matter manner

what arent you getting?

[Kardan]

Can we say... ****?

No, nope ***** either.

[FlyingJesus]

Yeah I don't actually think it should be unfiltered I'm just using this thread as an excuse to say wank and bait e5

[Francis]

but it is used in an offensive matter manner

what arent you getting?

I can call you a pig, and it's not censored. I don't think words should be filtered, It's easy to decipher what is being used towards a user and not. So if I say what the ****.. That's not at a user, it should not be filtered.

[Kardan]

but it is used in an offensive matter

what arent you getting?

Well can't omfg, ffs, wtf be used in an offensive matter?

[wixard]

tbh btch should be unfiltered because the radio lets it be said during the day!!!!

and i wanna be like YO ***** LETS COOK

[xxMATTGxx]

Because it's someone's name, because it doesn't need to be on the filter because it's not an offensive word...

We're allowed to say ffs, lmfao, wtf etc.

You are allowed to say those because you don't use them in an offensive manner.

[FlyingJesus]

omfg wtf is up with your face ffs

[xxMATTGxx]

Well can't omfg, ffs, wtf be used in an offensive matter?

No not really, not compared to the word we are discussing about.

[Kyle]

Well can't omfg, ffs, wtf be used in an offensive matter?
umm... no? they are self directed expressions lol

[FlyingJesus]

Wanna bet

[Kyle]

i really dont get this obsession with dick all of a sudden

[Kardan]

You are allowed to say those because you don't use them in an offensive manner.

omfg, wtf do you think you are doing? ffs.

[xxMATTGxx]

wtf do you think you are doing? ffs.

Nothing wrong with that context.

[FlyingJesus]

Yeah that was pretty tame you dick

[e5]

wtf is up with your face is a direct attempt at offending someone.

Saying wtf or ffs in general isn't.

Randomly saying díck just doesn't work.

I'm wasting my time replying because nothing will change.

and FlyingJesus; unfortunately you don't wind me up :( :P

[Kardan]

I think every Tom, Dick and Harry in this thread is just plain silly.

[e5]

Yeah that was pretty tame you dick

But I can close threads to prevent further rule breaks and to end a discussion that isn't going anywhere :D
