[Hushie]

why cant we say
***

[luce]

**** i am going to hallway 2 tbfrank .. *** this filtering **** ****

but srsly *** did they have to be re filtered? There is nothing for the mods to mod as avoiding the filter because it's all bloody filtered ll

I don't see any harm in people saying that and everyone goes on about how 12 year olds may see it well in all honesty they see it on habbo and much worse, if they were that young they wouldn't be able to type and join in with the highly intellectual conversations that take place in the sports section and because we live in england most of us they hear it at school and use it anyway - if not at home !!!!!!

thank titch lol

[FlyingJesus]

A good move I think, makes far more logical sense than the daft change that sparked the need for a regression

[GommeInc]

Clearly an unthought through change, I don't even think they know the reason behind the refilter :/ It's amusing really, the original reason (as far as I could tell) was that someone (just the one) person created a thread due to an infraction, yet somehow the result is this, more complaints

Well from what I've observed, General Management > Forum Management.

It's like common sense is being trumped by some crazy system....

Im unsure as to why you would think it would be Forum Management > General Management in this hierarchy? Not meaning to sound pompous at all, just curious.

The reasons they were unfiltered in the first place were due to a big demand, however having looked at the situation we're in now it only seems fair and just to either have all words that avoid the filter (and they do avoid the filter no matter what you argue) physically filtered, or unfiltered. And unfiltering all of the said abbreviations would be pointless and cause too much of a ruckus between those who arent able to remain calm in such a situation. Filtering them means there is absolutely no room for confusion as to what is and isnt allowed. Its easier on everyone, and at the end of the day theres no justification to unfilter some but not others.

I think its the right decision to refilter something that clearly wasn't working, and it wasn't working. It either gets to the point where every abbreviation is getting unfiltered for the most trivial reasons in an attempt to justify it and it becomes confusing for moderation and users as to what can be said and what be can't. At least we're all absolutely clear now.

I was reading one of either Garions or Olis post, saying that General management would not like us to unfilter words. I would've thought forum management made those decisions... but obviously not. Just saying what Ive seen.

What wasn't working about it, thats the confusing thing. so what if people use abbreviations... theyre not calling eachother ***** and stuff :S it caused no problems whatsoever as far as i could see... just seems like you filtered them back because nobody was prepared to go the whole mile to unfiltering most, if not all abbreviations... all of which were pretty much similiar to every other abbreviation lol.

I have been told to say this by an anonymous person, however I disagree with it:
