The Forum Filter

[StefanWolves]

Doesn't make a difference, just because the 'GM' is the guy who makes all the decisions and says what happens doesn't mean we have to go by American terminology, when in actual fact 99% of this forum is BRITISH.

That is one of the main problems I feel, Americans running the British really doesn't work, (Look at Afghanistan), however, British and Americans working TOGETHER, anything can be achieved (look at WW2), but the 'GM', has got to give or take a bit... I don't see why the word '***' is filtered at all. I know what you are all saying, just type 'cig' instead, but why? *** is not offensive in BRITAIN, where the forum community is mainly located in.

well he's nt gna know is he seeing as he's american and all that. it's used as an insult there quite regularly, not as often here. i don't think it really needs to be unfiltered. if it is, cool. if it isn't, cool.

They need some input from members though, some strange decisions never work like the Council one for example. People were against it, but they decided to push it through, the council never got much say in anything because all ideas were wee'd on then the council died because management saw no reason in it because they thought they were perfect

Some input is needed, and there are a good few words that will remain, but some like hump, Dick and so forth are pretty stupid

Testing: ****, humps, ****, *****, Richard.

**** isn't filtered i'm pretty sure.

This really does annoy me, why are we using US terminology when we are a UK user based community? Why do we need to have USA terminology here?

I thought Habbox is an international fansite? so its user base is worldwide :S

[StefanWolves]

99% are UK. Fact.

I think there is more Australian based users on HxF than American. :/

It might be a fact but seeing as it is still an international site we should take that into consideration.

*** is used as a derogative and a slang term in Aus, you call someone a *** and you smoke **** (duh!)

[StefanWolves]

Well we may as well remove 'd'ick', as it is a slang word for penis and is also used as a shortened name for people named Richard.

Same principle.

Yeah but anyway 'f'ag' is not used as a derogatory word in the UK, I only ever hear it on the Xbox from pathetic Americans.

[Immenseman]

lol you can't use it's a shortened version for richard as a genuine reason to remove it from the filter... if it was unfiltered it'd be used to insult and abuse people. you don't need to talk about ya penis

[StefanWolves]

I was just saying, it's the same sort of thing.

(btw I think that d'ick SHOULD be filtered lol, I was just using it as an example.)

[Blinger1]

dick also means fat in german

[Immenseman]

you don't need to say f@g either. cig will do nicely.
