“Swear Word Alternatives are now banned”

[arista]

A New Rule has been brought in
So even I must now respect that,



Sign Of The Times

[Smithy]

Why not just put them in the swear filter, that way there’s no grey area and people can be infracted for not knowing certain words aren’t allowed to be used?

[Mokka]

Why is this announcement coming from you... you aren't a moderator/admin

[RileyH]

As long as it's the same rule for everyone I'm fine with that x

[arista]

Why is this announcement coming from you... you aren't a moderator/admin


Very True Lady
I got a Warning

[Crimson Dynamo]

Then I think we should be privy to a list of these words so we can avoid them

[Crimson Dynamo]

not admin coming for "for sooth" and "gadzooks"


:worry:

[Mokka]

Yikes... I agree with LT

[arista]

The F one
I have done for years
It was not even a recent thread.....................................

Falkirk?

[arista]

Falkirk?


Of course not

[Smithy]

So are words like sugar not allowed for when we want to say ****e?

[Scarlett.]

If that word is Feck, it isnt actually related to the word ****, so you can still use it. Weird anyway that admin care about swearing on a forum generally used by adults.

[Mitchell]

Although tbh I don’t actually see the issue with swearing, provided it’s not being nasty about another forum member

[Smithy]

I mean let’s be honest this rule has literally only JUST been enforced because somebody said it in the chat thread last night

It’s dumb

[Mitchell]

There’s been multiple infractions for people using that word apparently, so it seems as if it isn’t allowed, although undoubtedly we will only find out what we’re not allowed to say when it’s too late.

I used it on a Product.

Fair Enough, thanks for the info Smithy
I was not on that thread.
But I respect what Admin inform me on.
That's why I felt I should make a thread on this section

I am just being honest

What a strange move lol

[Mokka]

https://www.sciencealert.com/swearing-is-a-sign-of-more-intelligence-not-less-say-scientists

The use of obscene or taboo language - or swearing, as it’s more commonly known - is often seen as a sign that the speaker lacks vocabulary, cannot express themselves in a less offensive way, or even lacks intelligence.


Studies have shown, however, that swearing may in fact display a more, rather than less, intelligent use of language.

Are we saying we want people with less intelligence on this site :think:

[brat.]

is there need to ban words other than maybe the c word? like everyone bar possibly 1 or 2 are over 18 and they literally swear in 12+ movies

[bots]

i will go to the foot of our stairs

[Withano]

If they’re not added to the filter it’ll be impossible to keep track of.

[Morgan.]

I don't get why alternatives are such an issue, let alone the actual ones. Are we rebranding to ThisIsCreche.com now??

[arista]

I was tracked to a
Product I spoke of
way back on the 10th of this month
but my post got Deleted?

[Smithy]

It’s ridiculous

Talk about driving members away :joker:

[Withano]

Also. I can type and actual swear word, the website will change it to a load of stars and it’s fine, I’m just not allowed to use a couple words that aren’t swear words because that’ll get me infracted.

What kinda logic.

[Morgan.]

It’s ridiculous

Talk about driving members away :joker:

Let alone the fact we are on a forum centred around Big Brother and other post-watershed TV - all of which include swearing - so surely if members are old enough to watch swearing on tv they're old enough to read it on a forum

We've been saying this for years already

[Mitchell]

I mean there’s no point changing rules as BB is dead and TiBB is on life support

Yes UK Big Brother
is over , for now

[Matthew.]

What

[Mitchell]

Yes UK Big Brother
is over , for now

And let’s be real, BBAUS is already gone, BBCAN has been axed in the past and probably could again and who the hell knows what will happen with Julie Chen.

Leaving Pooja as our only hope.

[montblanc]

can we focus on censoring the N word first

[Matthew.]

can we focus on censoring the N word first

Is that seriously not on the swear filter? :skull:

[Greg!]

Absolutely ridiculous.

[Elliot]

Yes swearing really is the pressing issue here on tibb

[Liam-]

Bigotry is fine, but don’t think about calling someone a twat

[Shaun]

TITTIES.

[Mokka]

TITTIES.

I don't know why... but I laughed :hehe:

[Nicky91]

It’s ridiculous

Talk about driving members away :joker:

negativity does that way more tbh :umm2:


and honestly i was more becoming one of the few with proper english (and english isn't even my first language)

[Elliot]

The thing driving members away are the bigots running rampant in sd like who’d want to join a big brother forum to debate homophobic trolls but w/e

[Nicky91]

you mean in SD, that is why i proposed my idea of a Celebrity/Showbizz/Entertainment news only section, a place where we can talk about all things celebrities, and also for example red carpet events from movie premieres, award shows

There’s been multiple infractions for people using that word apparently, so it seems as if it isn’t allowed, although undoubtedly we will only find out what we’re not allowed to say when it’s too late.Actually theres been no infractions given out regarding the swear filter

So there you go another case of members thinking or believing what others tell them when in reality they haven't got a clue....

[Mitchell]

So what are we allowed to say and what are we banned from saying? Just so we are totally clear.

[Daniel.]

Terrible idea

[Josy]

So what are we allowed to say and what are we banned from saying? Just so we are totally clear.The same as always, dont try to get around the swear filter :shrug:

[Matthew.]

Why is there a swear filter

[Smithy]

How is saying feck getting around the swear filter? It’s a completely different word to ****

[Smithy]

feck
/fɛk/
exclamationINFORMAL•IRISH
used to express annoyance, frustration, impatience, or surprise.

[Greg!]

The same as always, dont try to get around the swear filter :shrug:

Can we not just get rid of the swear filter please? Hardly anyone wants it. There are far more pressing issues to deal with on here as others have pointed out.

[Josy]

How is saying feck getting around the swear filter? It’s a completely different word to ****Try telling that to the people complaining that they want everyone treated the same then going and reporting posts which use it, it's a way of getting round the swear filter so there you go.

[Josy]

Anyway closing this as its turning into the same old crap about the swear filter.

James wants the swear filter in place so it stays.
