The way I see it is that we don't want to see it on the forum - fair enough. But it was the filter's fault that it wasn't filtered - and the filter really should have filtered it. And when you type that, you WOULD expect the filter to pick that sort of thing up.

Personally I would have just edited the post, but not have issued a warning until the filter was updated. If people posted it multiple times, then I would probably warn for an inappropriate post, but surely the filter has to be working decently for avoiding the filter to apply - just my opinion.

Filter would never pick up fxck, but the rule about suggesting swearwords (Like we're not allowed to say f**k or **) would pick that up as a rulebreak.

I agree with most of this but its been used a bit more than just once, if someone said it then found out it was filtered and left it at that then ok but it wasnt

I didn't see what happened initially as I was at work, but I also agree that if done on accident it should just be edited out and be given the benefit of the doubt, however I would still class it as avoiding the filter.

Like I said, if people used it multiple times then I would bring in rule A2 with inappropriate posting - I just think it's unfair to bring in A3 - Forum filter when you can't rely on the filter to do it's job in the first place.

I imagine at first it was done on accident, but when people realised the filter didn't pick it up, then people went with it.

Imagine if the forum filter broke down completely, and people started saying words on the filter, would that still count as avoiding the filter? Because that's how I see the current situation, just the filter not working with that one word :P

@Kardan; He wasn't warned/infracted straight away, he was PM'd and then he still continue to go against what he has just been told. He posted everything else knowing he had broken the rules.

sorry didn't realise I was to make a feedback thread for every error I find, just wanted an answer in realtime in the thread. Still think my infraction is undeserved. this is a good time to point out to mods that rules aren't there (imho) to be applied literally and to the letter, if it's clear that an individual has honest intentions then punishment should not be give.

How many times did you say the word? Cause if it was only the once, then really you have a case for not getting an infraction straight the way. If not, good luck :P

I don't think that's a good example simply due to the fact that the word was in the filter. It's not as if ****face means anything other than ****(space)face which is avoiding the filter, combing the two to avoid it.

Yeh stupidly strict, i think from mod to smod is fine with the modcp issue but the rest of the rankings are rubbish

Very true, but the filter still failed to do it's job, shitface is filtered with and without the space - you'd expect the same.

I suppose it's not really an issue what reason is issued for a warning/infraction anyway - assuming they hold the same 'value'.

exactly

adding letters/words/characters on the end of a filtered word knowing its not going to filter that filtered word is actively avoiding the filter duh

first post was asking why it was filtered, which was the one that was edited and that I was infracted for (didn't receive any pms about it like casanova seems to have done :S) then I posted again asking "can you please filter the word".
I initially actually reported casanova's post cos I thought he was using formatting in his post to avoid the filter... turns out when I tried it that the word wasn't filtered. forum admin problem.

think you might not have actually read my post...
I reported him for rule breaking - avoiding the filter in its stricted sense, by manipulating his text.
I don't view outright posting words that aren't filtered as avoiding the filter.

Who the **** just said I look like dappy!?!! I look nothing like that *****tain.

On topic, add a new title to the warning. semantics matter.
