Unfiltering an acronym.

When I first saw something filtered on the news feed I was like WHAT lol, then I realized it was that and it was filtered on the forum. Maybe unfilter it for the Habbo UK News forum only or something?

The filter can be avoided (like Saurav did when posting it) in contexts like this

Habbo don't mean it in a different way at all, and even if they do, everyone in their heads probably say the F word before their brain reacts to the (riday) bit.

They are talking about a help service on a friday, so the headline actually reads "What The **** Friday", people are thinking "***??" when they don't get something, and Friday is the day they can ask, combining the two.

But I also agree with the fact it makes the forum look untidy, leave the swear filter in.

I don't really like swearing but I think that since Habbo is using it it should be acceptable in a certain context and I suppose like you say it is Oli. But I personally think it should be unfiltered and people should be punished for abusing it. For example if I called someone an idiot then my post would be edited for being rude, maybe the same rule could be applied for W T F? Despite what it stands for I don't think it can be used in a particuarly abusive way, as someone said it equates to "WTH" which is of course not filtered. You can't really tell someone to "W T F off", well you could but you'd look like a fool.

Anyway I don't really mind if it's filtered or not, I just thought I'd bring it up since I saw it on Habbo .

My main issue with this is that if we unfilter certain abbreviations people will want more unfiltered and there has to be a line drawn somewhere, I did disagree with them getting re-filtered last time although I did see the point.

General Management are also against it to my knowledge, but Idk - I was extremely for it when I became AFM but then all that kaffuffle happened with Sammeth & titch and it was just like woahhhh...

That was such a pointless argument - titch only wanted to know what the rules were regarding it. No line was drawn, but apparently everyone crossed the line and all hell broke loose! Besides, there is no line with abbreviations. OM.F.G is fine, it's only really bad when people spell out swear words claiming they're abbreviations.

I hope you enjoy the fancy words from now on.

Yes, you are right. Oh, I forgot **** - will remove that too.
