Should this be filtered?

[Hazza]

We both know that it depends on the context it's used in. In the majority of cases it's unacceptable.

We all know most moderators normally jump to conclusions and sometimes get it wrong.

Avoiding the filter is avoiding the filter. Rules are rules.

If you feel you've received an unfair warning or infraction for it then feel free to report it.

[Wootzeh]

Yes. But if a forum mod see's 'wdf' - whatever the meaning they will jump to conclusions and warn/infract you.


@Woot;
Its like saying why is the F word filtered at all?

You could say the same for piss, but why it isn't filtered.

I dont know why wdf is filtered, I don't see how it can be used in an offensive way :S

You have a good point, I can't see how either can be used offensively and recently some words were unfiltered that can still be used offensively in a certain context. If they were unfiltered these should be too.

cause its the double standards 4 u mate

and also how the hell can you use wdf as an insult? It's a term used to describe someones confusion, or disbelievement of something - not to insult anyone else.

Good point, it shouldn't be filtered.
(What the.. shouldn't either).

If shiz and ***** are unfiltered, W.T.F etc should be unfiltered too, considering it cannot be used as a form of abuse, but rather a shock and awe reaction. Also, if you wish to avoid filters with wth etc, the proper way to type it is with dots Not that I am saying go forth and swear in abbreviations, even though there isn't really a way to do it.

What makes you think that? There are people who are under 12 years old on this forum and I doubt their parents would appreciate the website allowing words like this to be exposed to their angelic children.

God bless the Terms and Conditions, which clearly state:

"- Although the Administrators and Moderators of Habbox.com and habboxforum.com will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of Habbox.com, habboxforum.com Forum, or Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

So if a parent does have a go, you can use that against them and they should keep their snobby, angelic children off the webs.

i agree with you there - then we get back to the debate about why "piss" and "*****" are unfiltered.. it's all very confusing !
