This thread is going to be difficult to explain because I don't want to get infracted again.
If you say "Wayne something" you get infracted for avoiding the filter, but its not actually in the filter. I think it should be added to the filter.
If you don't know what word I mean ask Slowpoke, I would say it but I really don't want to be infracted.
Do you mean adding King to the end of my name?
It's alright Tom haha cause it's out of context
@ Wayne: Basically it was about a writer called Wayne Ankers but people were taking the piss and referring to him as W. Ankers
You are allowed to say it if its for the purpose of helping us update the filter.
Not everything can be filtered, which is why all the obvious and main choices for words are filtered and not the others. You don't really have to say what you are reffering to a lot, not sure how it could fit into an everyday sentance really.
The only reason people started getting infracted is because people were deliberately seeing how far they could take it and this has only happened once or twice.
Hope that made sense.
Oh right, I remember that. Cheers. ;)
After looking through it seems that you where blatently adding words to the end of wayne in order for it to make it look like something else. So i think it's fine, it's only a problem if people abuse the fact it can be missleading.
I don't see why we got infracted for saying Mr W. Ankers it's just a shorter easier to type version of Wayne Ankers.
Yeh okay W. Ankers looks like... well we all know but if we were reffering to him surely it is not infraction worthy?
That's thing though, you weren't. You tested us to see how far you could take it - We weren't born yesterday. :PQuote:

Well I can't publically discuss infractions in detail but looking at the original post I can safely say fully deserved it, you didn't "refer" to him, you used his name to avoid the filter - Look for yourself. :)
I don't mind anyway its almost expired. :P
Mine were warnings I think, I realy need to get read of some infractions, I don't wanna get another ban.
Obviously if you were only using it in that context it can be accepted, but it's pretty clear some people were taking advantage.
At the end of the day though, I'm sure your opinion is appreciated and has been took on board, but if you or anyone else has personal issues with any infractions giving you are aware that if reoprted, each will individually looked into.
