I don't see why it wouldn't just be easier to say "cba" in that situation rather than risking it by throwing in an f and changing it to something more unsuitable.

Because nobody says cba unless they are on habbox forum. You don't say "CBA GOIN LULZZZ" or whatever to your mates, you say cbf.

Can't be assed - quite a good phrase I think.

It is annoying though when you write something like "i need to go up the street but i cbf going" (many people would say that in a regular text message or msn convo or over facebook or wherever you socialize via technology, and habbox isn't any different) and you press preview post or submit post and the cbf doesn't get become *** because of the word "****" in it.. You don't always look back and think, hang on! This could be avoiding the filter (i.e a genuine mistake).

But like I said earlier, many people don't say it? I'm quite certain this thread is the first time I've ever heard of it. However I do see CBA used a lot all over the place; Habbox Forum, Facebook, text messaging, even in real life once or twice! And in real life I see hear the words; 'can't be arsed' while I've never heard the words; 'can't be ******'. I certainly don't believe that Titch hasn't heard CBA before or even doesn't know what it means

I prefer cbf. Plus all of my friends ect say cbf all time so im used to saying it.

Im all for refiltering them really, I'll be honest. Its much fairer that way, I'll discuss it with Forum Management. Im all for giving things a go, this time it turns out it didnt go well so no point in keeping it.

It worked fine just some kid got told off about another one and decided to cry as he usually does

Sig applys to situations like this

Give it a week or two there'll be another thread by the same user crying about how the words should be unfiltered again

From looking back over the thread, there's you, Blinger and maybe GommeInc. That's pretty much it. I'd also like to applaud you for the quote below as you've done a fantastic job of making the filter issue even worse :eusa_clap
