Filtered word...

[Nixt]

I really do not see why this word has been unfiltered. The term "****" is not an official abbreviation for the word "Pakistani" at all, it's simply a disparaging term that anyone of Pakistani decent generally finds offensive.

Totally agree. The P and the O word that have been infiltered are also still filtered by habbo whereas Brit and Aussie aren't so it certainly shows that they agree too.

I find being called an Aussie offensive, does that mean that it deserves to be filtered Catzsy?

Hmm, I was talking about dictionary definitions not my personal opinion and Aussie isnt filtered on Habbo. =]

No. Because the term 'Aussie' isn't a term regularly used in a derogatory way. It's friendly slang, whereas '****' is offensive slang referring to Pakistani people, or people of middle eastern descent, even if they are not from Pakistan. It's an offensive term and should never have been unfiltered.

I doubt there is more then 3 Pakistani people on these forums, maybe ask them if they find it offensive. Wait a minute, Pakistani.. why not just say that

Honestly Aight, whilst I admire you very much, but you do seem to write your messages before the brain has had a chance to engage or you havent had your cornflakes yet which is a syndrome I suffer from. On what grounds or evidence do you assume that there are no more than 3. I can think of at least 5 amongst the people I know and there are about 30,0000 members approx of whom there is a pretty good chance that quite a proportion are of an ethnic minority. In any event it would not matter if there were none it does not alter the fact it is considered universally to be an offensive word. Pakistani is not an offensive word - it is just the abbreviation that is.

I'm not talking about the ethnic community, just the Pakistani people on these forums. Do you think I meant there are only 3 different cultures I guess you could say that are on these forums? I have never on my 2 years of being on these forums met someone that is not from Europe / Australia / America etc (white cultures simply, being to the point, sorry if your offended by that), well maybe I have but just never noted it.. Who was called a "****", I'm guessing that somebody was infractioned from using it and came here to complain about why it was filtered? If they found it offensive I see what you mean, but under the circumstances I fail to see how it can be used offensivly if the person is not pakistani? I'm muddled

Well in my time as a forum mod and smod that and the N word were by far and away the most used offensively on the forum. This was quite a common occurence and by no means at all rare. A racist remark is a racist remark at the end of the day. It doesn't matter if there are 3 or 3 hundred members a racially motivated thread/post is against the rules. There must have been a good reason it was included in the filter in the first place not only here but on Habbo as well. So there should also be a good logical reason to remove it from the filter. Following the present decision the N word should be removed too but I hope not.

I guess so, anyways going to bed night.
