Should **** really be unfiltered?

[Hazza]

I'm not being funny or anything. But the meaning of ***** was;

6. Vulgar Slang A penis.
7. Vulgar Slang A person regarded as highly unpleasant, especially a male.

So, surely if ***** should be filtered if 'Dick' is? Because they basically mean the same thing?

What do you think?

I don't think ***** should be filtered, I see it more along the lines of **** should be unfiltered.

[Rhiz]

it can also mean if you ***** your finger etc
its another use of the word debate

like, there's you're a ***** which is obviously vulgar, but then there's i *****ed my finger

i'd say keep it unfiltered as it has more than one meaning, not all of which rude.

If bitches or bitch is filtered than ***** should be too.

Honestly its not hurting, and it did die down till this thread.

Well, that leads to a whole different question.
Should dick be unfiltered - Because like Rhiz has stated words have more than one meaning/context? - You a stupid **** (offensive) or I have a **** (not offensive).

Yes but surely if one word is unfiltered and the other isn't which both have the same meaning they either be both filtered or unfiltered.

****, willy and ***** all have the same meaning (pretty much) - so if two of them are unfiltered why is one still filtered?
It goes with a lot of other things, Habbox need to decide - one or the other, not half way in between.

Yeh but either way with that, it's still not exactly polite. penis, is politer and it's obvious that d*** is actually just a rude word in general even though it may be used in different contexts.

Exactly. That is why I have bought it up.
Habbox can't have one and not the other - They are basically contradicting themselfs.

I dont like whats happened to the filter so either remove it all and let the mods do the job or make it quite strict. I agree if ***** is allowed the D.ick should be. Undertakers V sign from gordon brown is far less offensive than piss or ***** but hxf think different :s they have got to go one way or the other and not make a total mess of it by not being able to decide either way. Who says what word or image is more offensive than another? it depends on your area alot of the time so a poll that all forum members can vote on wou.ld give a better indication to what we find offensive and not what we are told is offensive by a few people and some who dont even live in the UK.
