Avoiding Filter

[Lee]

As soon as I PM'ed you Richie I created a thread in the mod forum to see if we can filter it.

[Kieran]

Sorry Richie. Seems we lost the fight this round

Ah there'll be another in a few months over something similar

Not too fussed if its filtered, I just don't see why it should be as it isn't like saying fu.cking but that's just how I see it.

Well my personal view is that there shouldn't be any swear words filtered.. but hey **.. what do I know

You're both fec.kless -_-

In all seriousness, were the words being abused? It seemed like it was only rare occasions people would mis-use them, which makes it a bit of a waste of time to filter them, considering there was hardly any time spent stopping members from using them - simply because they seldom used the words to avoid the filter, intentionally.

Is **** still filtered? That's Di.ck if it is.

Oh, nevermind. It is Wasn't it unfitlered not so long ago because no-one really uses it to mean willy anymore? I still dream of the day I can say "Any Tom, Richard and Harry" without being stopped

Ah jaysus I thought you were ageeing that fe.cking isn't a swear. I don't really agree with removing the filter, its grand the way it is and although I'm older and can handle 'the heat' there is younger users that we shouldn't exactly influence

I was agreeing with that as well

I think there has always been some confusion over this word, and going back on the amount of times its been reported (loads), it seems that quite a few members (especially the younger ones) get confused with it and I guess that is due to it similarity with the other filtered word. Personally I don't have much of a problem with the word itself, I know it means other things etc, but its very often used in the same situation you would use the other one, and the fact it looks similar just makes it a little bit less obvious to some people it seems. I think its better off filtered because it will prevent people getting confused and reporting it and stuff. Its not the most commonly used word on this forum and so I don't think it will hinder conversation too much really. I guess its just a case of different people perceiving it in different ways and unfortunately some people see it as too similar.

Its always handy to discuss the filter though so any suggestions will of course be discussed with the moderation team and their opinions will be taken on board etc too. For the time being though based on their feedback this word is better off filtered and I'm mainly sorry to Richie since he is the main one who uses it!

If the filter is avoided in a post to use the meaning gommeinc is talking about, rather than the vernacular expletive version - e.g. "Chris is a fec.kless idiot and should be fired" - would the post still be edited for "avoiding the filter"? @Martin;

It's rude to other members for a start, so I wouldn't begin to worry about it avoiding the filter
