Can we get one thing straight?

HOW DID I AVOID THE FILTER? THE SENTENCE ONLY HAD THE LETTERS F AND K AND THIS IS THE FEEDBACK FORUM WHERE SWEARING IS ALLOWED!

The other thread, if we're referring to the same one, is about something else and therefore I don't see why he should have to post this issue in that thread.

the other one is about censorship too, so it could easily fall into that thread.

It's good feedback if it's handled in the proper manner and posted in the thread that's already been made, instead of making a new thread.

It's making a different point - there's no point sharing the same thread as you'd get mixed responses or no appropriate, tailor made answer to your query

yeh, that's fine, but hiding the video in a spoiler is pretty pointless. Also, they don't mention the swearing at the start of the film, you have to go on to the website to find out all that information.

The spoiler is a bit pointless judging by how the videos do not play automatically. Although if the video has the lovely F word chucked around on the video preview image (I think YouTube uses them?) then it probably should have one. The play button is a barrier to protect our underaged users, they shouldn't need two

I seem to find plenty tailor made answers in feedback threads, when someone quotes a post lol... o.o

True but they both relate to censorship in different ways so I personally feel they're best separated, so that people focus on one idea in a thread. I don't think it matters much anyway .

The rules have sure declined on this forum. Back in the day any video bar porn was generally allowed as long as a sufficient warning was given. Why on earth was this changed? Kids can just go onto YouTube these days and watch videos with all manners of violence and swearing in. I really don't understand why the moderators are so set on censoring the videos posted here. You aren't protecting the youth, you're just annoying everyone. And I really don't understand why a video that contains filtered words has to be put in a spoiler. It's a video, not an image and spoiler tags aren't stopping anyone from playing it.

True but in my opinion, the video not playing automatically doesn't act as an indication that the video will have swearing in it, so there still isn't really a way of knowing whether to expect swearing or not.

Well if I hadn't known about the cameo I'd be pretty annoyed you'd spoilt it! Luckily I've already seen the film!
I'm sure they do mention it. Before the film where they have that title sequence with those signatures and underneath the rating of the film they have the reasons why.

I believe the spoiler is an indication that the video contains swearing. Much like the rating of "12A" indicates swearing or violence. The rule is fair. The video not auto-starting is not *really* an indication that it contains swearing. Also I have a tendency to press play on videos without reading the post so not having the spoiler there kinda encourages that.

Stop nitpicking, it hardly affects you to stick spoilers around a video. Regardless of how far between the lines you look.

no but what he means is, that if the video doesn't start automatically (which it doesn't) and a warning is placed above it saying that the video contains swearing, it's then up to them to press play, unless the video has a swear word on the screen before the video starts.
