The 'ass' filtering.

[mat64]

If they used it as an insult it's pretty much guarenteed a moderator would pick up on it, so I don't see what the harm in removing it would be. However I also can't see how often a dicussion about donkeys or the gender of dogs will come up on the forum without the words be used for alternate reasons :p

Can someone important look at this thread please?

Calling someone an ass isn't conciderd as rude/insulting? if not, then I don't know what is.

Yes I'm in agreement with what you've said their Matt. It's been added as it was mainly to stop people being insulting to each other but by separating the words and various other methods there will always be ways to get around it. I'm guessing it's just there as a restraint to stop people from being rude to each other - in what situation would you need to say that word though in which it wasn't rude or inappropriate? I don't really thing the filtering is a problem as it's just there to prevent people from breaking the rules and if they get around it - like it is possible with any other filtered word they will just be contacted or punished for being rude to others or posting inappropriately?

I don't see any reason to unfilter it really.

why is the word for poo filtered but the word for wee isnt? **** piss

"piss" isn't really used as much as an insult compared to ****. I guess though that is technically should be filtered.

I would like to see someone be insulted by the word "piss" or any mixture of words involving "piss." Surely if you;re called a piss head, stinky piss and any other humourous ways, you'll be looked at as trying far too hard?

But jackass isn't even an insult. It's more of a jokey insult that anthing.

If you were arguing with someone, I doubt they would call you a jackass, and actually mean it in a bad way.

Idiot is more insulting.
