Warning - Filter

[Richie]

Hey,
This comes up time and time again. I just got warned for apparently avoiding the filter. I said '****' and since 'f.k' is filtered I assumed so was '****' it's just like 'wa.nk' and 'wan.kin'.


Can you add it to the filter and ask your mods to use their common sense when it comes to issuing warnings, it was obvious I didn't blatantly avoid the filter on purpose.

just type out the full word if you know its gonna be filtered. when you type fck how are people suppose to know you mean duck with a f as it only filters to three stars not four lol

It's filtered for a reason, they aren't meant to know what it says.

I thought the filter stared out words if it was even in the centre of a word. So **** would come out **in. Pretty sure it used to do that, unless they changed it.

I too have had issues with this.

I'd have assumed all alternatives were filtered too so I agree

[Richie]

When someone avoids the filter they should only be issued a warning if it's blatant. **** isn't blatant, people shorten there words online, habbox know that. If I was like 'FÚCK OFF' then I should be warned because I went out of my way to avoid the filter.

Yep i've been warned for ** before, I didn't even think about it cos it's how i type it all the time


i swear they filtered it though cos the day after i typed afk and it was **** lmfao....

Interesting, if the word had the 'g' at the end then it would of got filtered by the forum. I've changed it now so both ways get filtered.

Richie, I'd like to add two things to this thread. Firstly, you didn't get any warnings/infractions. Secondly you posted the word in question in two different posts so when you seen the first time it wasn't filtered - why did you use it again? Either way thanks matt
