MSN emoticon shortcuts/txt speech/breaking the swear filter

[Vicky.]

Just a quick reminder that none of the above are tolerated on this forum. And you WILL be given infractions for constantly posting them.

Many members do not use MSN, so ending sentences with 'leona2' 'hee1' or whatever is very confusing for them. Along with the fact that it is plain annoying seeing the same users doing it time and time again. The odd one we can let slide, but when it turns out seemingly being in every other post, then theres a big problem.

Txt speech is also hard to understand. This has been a rule since the very beginning of this forum. A rule that people used to follow, and will start to again. And if they do not, then be expecting quite a few bans flying around. It is not hard to type out the proper English word rather than for example 'r u goin out 2nite' . And it makes it so much easier for everyone to understand what you are saying.

The swear filter is another rule that has constantly been ignored recently. As some of you know, infractions are being given for avoiding the filter. Whether you agree with the filter or not is irrelevant. It IS there, and it IS a rule. You cannot avoid the filter by accident, so you know at the time that you are breaking a rule. If you wish to continue breaking the filter, prepare for a ban, because people who do it over and over will be getting harsher infractions than the ones currently being given out, because clearly the current ones aren't working.


I am aware that I already made an announcement on this, but I want there still to be record when the announcement ends.




Also anyone who replies to this with any of the above, will receive an infraction from me :)

[Stu]

So in short we will not be given the due feedback on our rightful criticisms of dumb rules? We just have to accept them and that is that? How progressive. We already know the swear filter thing is dumb but this Leona stuff is just some silly fun that really doesn't get thrown about too much. We are all guilty of making in jokes.

I'll make sure and curse twice as much without breaking the filter. Because as long as I don't break it it doesn't ****ing matter right?

Just doing my bit to make the forum look more ****ing respectful.

Additional snowflakes etc.

Did you misread the last part as you cant comment on the rules by any chance?

What I meant was whoever tries to be funny, for example by replying to this with only 'leona2' or whatever...because it happens in every thread

[Patrick]

LOL Does anyone even use MSN Anymore?

It was different last year when people were like 'hee2' or 's0b/' or 'harry3' now it's like :bored:

[Judas]

Just to check with the swear filter can we write s--t and f--k so people can tell the difference between **** and ****.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I'll report any leona2 trust me

[Jordan.]

Good, I didn't even get any credit for creating the /cher emoticon everyone raped *researches copyright act*

Strangely, that seems pretty much accepted, so I think so. As long as most is censored

As Ive said for ages, personally I dont agree with the filter at all, what with it being a BB forum and swearing is on BB a lot...but yeah, it is in the rules :/

[Shaun]

I'm sorry but this is just ****ing absurd. How further is this "OMG TYPE IN PROPER ENGLISH!!!" rule going to progress? Infractions for typos?

Ok awesome, I guess we have to -- at least two letters then rather than write s-it? Sorry for the questions :hugesmile:

- Also still doesn't quite understand what a 'leona2' is -

[Ramsay]

swear filter is the biggest load of bull**** ever

[Doogle]

I don't get the swear filter, it censors some swear words but not others. :joker:

But yeah I didn't have any idea what "leona" "hee" "s0b" etc. meant until Scott & Stacey sent me like 100 of them on MSN.

[Vicky.]

Erm...txt speech has never been allowed :/

[Stu]

Did you misread the last part as you cant comment on the rules by any chance?
No, I didn't. You will notice of course that I didn't complain about that at all. Anywhere in my post.

What I was complaining about was the fact that our comments go completely unaddressed. The language of sentences like 'Whether you agree with the filter or not is irrelevant. It IS there, and it IS a rule.' make it very clear that it doesn't matter how ineffective, illogical and unsupported it is. It's there and we have to put up with it 'because it is there'.

It's just pissy, basterdized reasoning. I understand that you are just doing your job though and communicating what the administrative arm wants said. I think James is the only one that genuinly cares about the swear filter or sees it as integral in making the forum look respectable - even though I might be told it was a joint moderating decision.

Let's just say I disagree with him on his order of priorities on making the forum look respectable. Besides I have to maintain my pin up bad boy image.

I'll get admin to clarify when ones online, but I *think* thats ok :)

[Shaun]

Erm, I think you'll find it's "text speech". Infract yourself please.

[Vicky.]

K, I totally missed what you meant then :p

James has said again and again that the swear filter will be staying. Everytime its brought up he says that, so its not going to be changing anytime soon. Thats all I meant by the part you mentioned :)

[Vicky.]

Erm, I think you'll find it's "text speech". Infract yourself please.

I would but I cant bend that way :sad:

[Stu]

Cool, thanks.

Technically it's only breaking the filter though if you use formatting to publish otherwise unpublishable words, right?

Because he infracted me like a week ago for putting ''oo' between the letters 'f' and the letters 'k'.

Which I think is completely absurd and which I honestly take as a petty act of personal annoyance with another member modding but hey, ~TiBB.

[Vicky.]

Again, will try and get admin to clarify the exact rules on swearing when one is online :)

[MeMyselfAndI]

Are we allowed to say "omg"!

[Shaun]

It's virtually impossible to moderate though - when words such as OMG and LOL are being added to the dictionary left right and centre.

And erm, call me subversive, but isn't chat and games supposed to be...chat and games? It's essentially being pedantic. Does anyone actually report the "leona2" posts, aside from our resident fan? Because if that's what it boils down to the emoticon is used to convey hurt or upset with a situation, not mock the...thing.

[Vicky.]

Are we allowed to say "omg"!

Things like OMG and LOL are pretty much known by everybody.

Its more posts made entirely in text speech...pretty much the same as the posts all in capitals thing

[MeMyselfAndI]

It's offensive GIF shaun
Can we say, lol, wth, wtf ,etc?

Its not just leona2. And theres not a problem when its not constant...but recently pretty much every post has been ending in hee1/leona2 etc.

And LOL and that...I explained above, the text speech rule is about people who make their whole post 'lyk dis' which has also been on the increase

[MeMyselfAndI]

I report the GIF itself too as its trolly

[Vicky.]

It's offensive GIF shaun
Can we say, lol, wth, wtf ,etc?

Yes...

As long as whats following the OMG isnt something along the lines of

OMG did u c wotz on da tv 2moz

Or something similar

[Stu]

Out of interest do you guys recieve a lot of reports about the swear filter being broken by members?

[Shaun]

the idea of Mr. "Biasty" reporting with regard to members' language. Classic irony.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Lol I'm gunna report if people break these rules to become a mod.

[Vicky.]

Quite a lot, yeah :/

More when its on season though, which is why I thought it was best to get all this out of the way before BB starts again

Woah that's genuinly surprising.

I assume most of the reporting is totally non vindictive in nature and just out of a genuine cause for moral concern.

Okay I'll stop annoying you now :blush:.

[Vicky.]

Thats questionable sometimes ;)

But yeah, you would be surprised at half the things that get reported.

Its really horrid when BBs on, people report other people just for saying they dislike a housemate :crazy:

Takes so long to sift through the useless reports to find one thats actually a rulebreak

[Zippy]

I hope you mods are gonna start leading by example with the swearing ban? :p

it wasn't specifically aimed at you but we all that know mods swear on here. Which I don't have a problem with because I think its a legit part of expression...gives your point that extra oomph sometimes. But its not fair to impose rules on members that mods themselves don't abide by.

They don't break the swear filter though. Swearing is okay. It's having the letters displayed on screen is the problem.

Yeah, I know.

[Shaun]

I've lost count of the number of times Stu and I have tried to reiterate the difference between:

"I hate you Smithy, you're a twat."

and "omg, that bloke on Come Dine With Me was such a twat."

:bawling:

[Kerry]

But we can swear so long as it's not filtered? I know bastard and twat aren't though know you could argue that they are in the English dictionary

I think moderate use is fine. Just don't aim it as an insult at anyone and I wouldn't see a problem

For instance "Some twat wasp stung me today" - fine

"I think *member* is a total twat" - not so fine

Its not the actual swearing, its the breaking of the filter. Putting one letter in a word in italics so it doesnt get...as stu so nicely put it earlier...snowflaked :p

Though I think being called a twat is a lot worse than half the stuff that IS filtered :S

I still don't know why ess hit is filtered. <_<

Ahhh get you. I wonded how a few words filtered actually got through. I'd seen itallics before but they'd actually appear as itallics :D

I ushered in the Verdana revolution - always willing to be charitable with emerging filter break technologies. By simply formatting a letter of the swear in Verdana - the same font the forum uses - the word would appear perfect.

James envied my cunning and has now made this previously unenforcable rule a forum priority.

Cursing is okay though.

[Sticks]

In the past when crafting episodes of my Mystical Realms stories, I will have characters swearing, so what I did is replace most of the middle letters of the word with asterisks leaving just the first one or two letters at the beginning and at the end, so the swear word was never used

e.g taking the non swear word of "adorable" it becomes "ad****le

I know on one other forum, if you replace the letters of a swear word with asterisks in that fashion they still count that as a violation, because you are trying to get around the swear filter in their view

Is this what is meant by "breaking the swear filter", and are you saying that is the rule here as well?

I'm just waiting for admin to confirm one way or the other.

At the moment, breaking the filter would be..for example, making one letter in a swear word italic so that the word still appears as normal.

I'm really not too sure what the stance is on censoring the majority of the word, dont think that should be a problem though, but worth checking :)

I maintain that whoever modded the 'f', 'oo' and 'king' placed together to were just being anal.

I've realized most of my hate for it actually stems from my own OCD feeling on the snowflakes in post looking 'unclean'.

Similar to the way I despise people who would otherwise have pefect English not doing things like putting full stops or using capitals.

To be honest the majority of posts with endings such as hee1, suspect and hmph would end if admin actually pulled their finger out and added the smileys to the forum. Its not the most strenuous of things to do and I do not understand why time and again they do not bother to add these simple things for us. Its so frustrating.

And if they don't bother doing these things why don't they give mods the powers for it? Surely it would make more sense for mods to do trivial things like adding smileys etc.

I wouldnt blame them if they didnt bother adding them at all with people having this kind of attitude about it :)

They havent said either way if they are even going to add them, and already they need to pull their finger out...

Tbh adding more smileys just to please a few people is very trivial compared to the amount of other things that need doing round here.

1) I only have this kind of attitude about it because I asked for this smiley - http://www.greendaycommunity.org/Forum/public/style_emoticons/Dark/hmph.png - to be added at the beginning of January. Yet here we are still using a link for it.

2) I could've sworn they said they'd add that^ smiley back in that thread or you'd ask about it in the towers.

3) Which brings me back to my point about giving mods the ability to add these things.

It makes sense really. :joker:

Mods have no input into the actual site features itself, only admin can alter stuff like graphics/smilies/swear filter.


And admin do have more pressing matters then adding a smiley I'm sure. Some new ones will be added, you just have to be patient. :)
