The Forum Filter

[Caution]

If I hear fag, I think of cigarette before I think of homosexualzz.
A lot rly should be unfiltered imo.

This can go either way I guess, people will generally be **** for a while because they can and then calm down, but also I think abuse in general would rise. I don't care for filtering much but it's easy enough to have a discussion without swearing really

Obviously the more extreme ones could be re-filtered within minutes, some aren't up for discussion. However, quite a lot of words as this thread has highlighted needs to be allowed. It's just an idea, I know it might not work.

I agree that you should totally review the whole forum filter, it's probably the best way to go about it!

Well no they don't. Shortening the F word doesn't change its meaning and it's obviously one of the "stronger" cuss words

Hasn't internet slanged evolved? The F word in LMFAO etc. could be allowed because it could mean "flipping". Loads of forums follow this, and when that age old argument "If the the F in LMAO is fine, how come we can't say the 4 letter F curse word?" Then you just reply "Because the F could mean 'Flipping'" or any other F replacement :/

It's how I've seen places operate at least. GTFO is another example, you can't avoid abbreviations anyway, may as well let them loose because the curse word could also be a normal word as a replacement

And a review of the filter would be good. Might free up some space

lmfao has to be unfiltered!! it's so commonly used. it can't possibly be used to offend people. it doesn't create a negative atmosphere.

omg your face lmfao

Yeah it can
Think it was just the fact that it has a NAUGHTY word involved rather that put it on the filter rather than being used to attack anyone lol

[kk.]

omg your face lmfao

Yeah it can
Think it was just the fact that it has a NAUGHTY word involved rather that put it on the filter rather than being used to attack anyone lol

@Immenseman:

The matter of censored words is not really one that is for the community to decide though we are reasonable.


We will review the forum filter over the next week or so as I don't believe we have done this in sometime, however I would like to clarify that certain words whether or not they are used currently or not will remain on the filter.

[Immenseman]

i see what you mean with the obvious swear words. however, i think ones that have been outlined in this thread obviously are up for discussion as they have been discussed, lol. if you don't want a say from community then that's fine.

@ tom... your point? your face lmao your face rofl
