Should this be filtered?

[Hazza]

'Wdf' - Oh I have found out 'What the...' is, so should wdf?

Many people know they can be referring to the naughty swear word but others could mean it by 'what the flip'

So should they be filtered or not atm they are not - But I got a warning for apparently avoiding the filter... when I could of meant anything by 'f'.

Fill in poll and opinions please.

strange that it's filtered there but it wasn't in your post... or was that 'wdf'? eh, that could even mean "well done friend" !

[jesus]

It sure should. This is seen as avoiding the filter if you type those letters you mentioned. It's like when you put an 'F' in another abbreviation, that's classed as avoiding the filter also.

[Hazza]

I think it should be, because if 'what the' is, why isn't 'what da'?
I've seen many people use 'what da' - if it was, I would be one less warning.

[Dan2nd]

if the 'F' word is being abreviated then yes it should

[Slowpoke]

thing is, 'wd' means well done. and to futher abbreviate you could put, 'wdf' meaning well done friend. i know it's rarely used but this may occasionally be the case.

I dont know why wdf is filtered, I don't see how it can be used in an offensive way :S

[Hazza]

Yes. But if a forum mod see's 'wdf' - whatever the meaning they will jump to conclusions and warn/infract you.


@Woot;
Its like saying why is the F word filtered at all?

thing is, 'wd' means well done. and to futher abbreviate you could put, 'wdf' meaning well done friend. i know it's rarely used but this may occasionally be the case.

We both know that it depends on the context it's used in. In the majority of cases it's unacceptable.

which is why i said, 'this may occasionally be the case'
