Avoiding Filter

I'm pretty sure this is the second or third time I've created this thread, I suppose it's just confusion, not anyone's fault but anyhow. In a post I created I said the word 'Fecking' apparently this is avoiding the filter. Fu.cking and Fecking are two different words and a quick google search would indicate that. I've been warned in the past on a few occasions for saying Fecking but it got removed for the same reason. And just before someone replies with something like 'You shouldn't have to express yourself through these words', its more so a habit and I don't see anything remotely offensive about it.

Can you filter the word if its deemed as inappropriate and ask the moderation team to contact a member of management if they're unsure on a word or need them to filter it. I didn't purposely avoid the filter, I say it regularly, if you look up some of my previous posts you'll see I use it now and then.

This has been brought up many times as you say haha. Although fecking is a word in itself I believe that some members have been using it as a way to avoid the filter. I'm not saying you are but some have. I'm sure if Martin decides that its inappropriate then it will be added to the filter. :)

If a word has been used continuously to 'avoid the filter' put on another word then surely common sense would tell whoever sets the filter to simply add it, rather than warn users for it time and time again. Add fecking to filter if it's inappropriate.

It would have been but it was dismissed by previous forum management :P

Theres a thread in the mod forums now waiting for Martin's reply on it but really we've never had a definite answer on this word. Personally with me it's just another way to say the word *******.

Yes the word ****/fecking means something but the way people are using it on the forum is a way to get around the filter of *******

Fecking isn't a rude word and technically can't be used to avoid the filter because it is where the other F word stole it's use from. The naughty F word is just feck reincarnate. I don't give a feck, for example, is actually quite accurate, as it means worth. So you don't give a worth of whatever the subject is.

Yay English <3

Well it doesn't really mean something, it's just an irish word for the one that's already in the filter. I see they've filtered the word without its 'ing' suffix which is why it's puzzling that fecking still remains unfiltered.

I don't mean it in that context though. Can you imagine someone saying 'Here love, want to go for a fe.ck' it just doesn't make sense. It's just like when someone says 'You're so friggin annoying' the only reason why it looks worse is because only one letter is changed :P but it can be used in different context and to me, it doesn't even remotely relate to fu.cking.

Not to mention that if you call someone "f.eckless", you're effectively saying "worthless", as that's all that f.eck means - "worth".

I dropped my views on it in the moderator thread for Martin ;) I'm with you on this one Richie. Never been a fan of the filter on this forum.
