Abbreviations Rules

[Blinger1]

then why don't we block OMFG and FML and just use "OMG" or "MLIA" =/?

[Titch]

Also, people tend to say "CBF" in real life, nobody says "OMFG", its probably in the dictionary as well

its soo stupid, cbf is used in normal sentences, omfg isnt, i dnt understand it at all. U punish me wen i am behaving and having a nice quiet chat, mite aswell missbehave then atleast u have real reason.

Also, if it is avoiding the filter (which i got a warning/infraction for recently) then why wasn't it added to the filter in the first place? Its a common abbreviation damnit!

That further reinforces my point... if it's used in real life, it has more naughty connotations if ya get me.

Either that or we could just refilter all the abbreviations that technically avoid the filter anyway, like it was before, yet was changed due to amounting pressure. Obviously its not working out that well so we could just revert back to when everything was treated the same and fairly.

it should be all or nothing. its unfair to have one filter and another HARMLESS one filtered.

So you are saying you would like to see the other words filtered, right?

[Blinger1]

I wouldn't care, because i don't use LMFAO, OMFG or FML. Or if i do, its very very rarely.

Yes becuase u cnt use them unless u r being rude, so if ur guna have 1 filtered, they all should be

[scottish]

Although its kinda nothing to do with this thread but kinda is

I couldn't care less what titch is saying or what you lot are arguing about

But wouldn't it be better to put the ones you consider against the rules on the filter list so it comes out as *'s

As it could be confusing to people if they can say FML etc so a newer member may automatically assume the one in this example would be allowed as you're allowed to use the F word in other abbreviations

But yeh leave FML and omfg unfiltered and do whatever with rest but would be smarter move to stick em on the filter so people don't get infracted due to believing it was allowed
