Since the other thread got wrongly closed,
Can we get dick removed from the filter please?
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 :/
Why would we need to remove it from the filter?
because it's someones name
You're allowed to avoid the filter in feedback if the thread is discussing the filter.Quote:

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).
Can you tell me why it needs to be on the filter?Quote:

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

is ****** still filtered? yes. feggot is still filtered, same reason as above I am assuming.
Maybe Habbox can give permission for avoiding filter when using names. :P
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?Quote:

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.Quote:

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

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'

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.
You're just being facetious now as this doesn't crop up regularly, if at all on this forum.Quote:

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).

Schlong Cheney was my favourite US Vice President.
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?Quote:

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

Magic
Am I sI've no idea what you wanted me to search but ok, 28 results, so it doesn't crop up regularly?Quote:

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 rightQuote:

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.
Surprised I got two actually.
e5 is right on this occasion

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.
