Overly Moderated?

[Mentor]

I'm surprised the option to disable the filter for just ourselves hasn't been added yet...

Habbo added it a year (Maybe two) ago...

Its not technically feasible. Vb applys formatting and filtering at the time a post is made so applying it per user isnt possible. The overhead of having to filter each post as its loaded would be huge.

Honestly, it really isnt that bigger deal ether - if the filter works its all well and good, my only gripe is being warned for avoiding the filter when you clearly wernt (A word not actually being filtered, i can list a few - or in an image when its down to pure guess work as to which words are allowed and which arn't) o.0

I've looked at the PHPBB3 code and it applies filtering later on and doesn't lag loads... Stupid VB blaming 'slow' stuff for laggy code.

It's just best that we agree to disagree, that unless the rules change the moderation will stay the same,

I may be new here, and not have seen what the moderation was previously like, but that fact remains that the moderation staff arnt suddenly change how they work, because a few people can't handle rules..

I don't think the intention is to make HxF unpleasant, it's more to make it pleasant fo everyone..

I'd also like to add, yes I apologised for being rude to immenseman, but I do not apologise for the way I reacted to the clear racism in that thread, and I don't apologise for standing up against racists

Yesssss. That's the whole disagreement I've been havening recently. I think that's exactly the problem. And I'm due a warning/infraction next time it happens.

Care to elaborate? (On the former in Mentor's post, the latter just put the word below the image, see if it gets filtered out, if it does just quickly edit your post, simple )

If elaborating would stretch the rules too much feel free to PM me.

The row I had was over the word Elliott on Scrubs always says; begins with fr, rhymes with stick , and the word for a female dog but with an A after the bi. On both occassions, I wasn't trying to avoid anything, I was purely choosing those words at the time, and they are seprate words which seem pretty unoffensive to me anyway.

Ironically, in this post I am clearly trying to avoid the filter to try and explain what the actual words are, but I bet that will be seen as OK!

the word is frick. it's alright to say it like that because it clearly isn't an alternative to
any filtered word when written like that.

So what does it mean then? so **** isnt the same as *******?
Hmm could you explain that? What was written was 'What the and the word you just said'. Now I am more than happy to stop moderating that word if told to do so. In fact a review of these type of words might come in handy with a list given to the mods of the acceptable ones if any.

Being infracted for avoiding the filter when a word isn't filtered really irritates me.

For example I was infracted for using the gtfo. It's not filtered.

I asked the forum manager why they don't filter it and I think the excuse was something about it being too difficult to filter every abbreviation with swear words in it...
