Who's Bright Idea was THIS...?
 
All of you type:


And see what happens and then read this:

Spoiler:



Now sorry, but censoring the whole two stars in the 'F Word' was bad enough just as I was starting to take Harry's advice and use stars rather than using italics when swearing.

But now we can't even use forum speak to swear?
It's not even swearing!

I bet **** is censored too :rolleyes: I'll probably find out once I press 'Submit New Thread'

I don't get why this is censored, the majority of the time I only say http://i27.tinypic.com/w191lh.png when I'm talking about a housemate or George Lamb, I'm not insulting a FM like.


Stu pointed out months ago about the 'S' word being censored, which was pathetic was we all do it you know 'The S word' so why is it censored?

And then they stopped me from using one * in 'The F Word'

And now this?

What's next to be censored?

Pathetic. This forum is rapidly going down the drain :joker:

Talk about being overly politically correct.

I think Vicky should be blamed for this.

Patrick 23-07-2010 07:43 PM

OMFG The G word is censored too, you know The S words best friend?

Starts with G and ends with O

How do you know it was Vicky?

Who wants to do odds on who did this mess?

So you and Locke have Vicky as the favourite, personally I think James did it, but it may be the dark horse that comes on now and then which means Kaz may of done it or perhaps the big man himself Mark.

Lewis. 23-07-2010 07:50 PM

I know it's not a swear word although I do see why the mods would possibly want to censor it. From their point of view it probably makes the forum look messy and rude. They want to do all they can to make the forum seem inviting to add new members. Similarly I can see why you're annoyed, but at the end of the day it's down to the mods.

Fair do's I say, but from a members point of view I don't see the problem with using that word :)

So does newbies who can't use a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence in thread titles and their posts and seem to not be aware of the 'No Text Speech' rule that Thomas C referred to the other day.

I posted this stfu gif

And it would work, IT WOULDNT WORK

:bawling:

But yea it has been blocked for a couple of days now, bring it back :nono:

Jack_ 23-07-2010 07:53 PM

I'm sure only admin can add/delete words to the filter.

setanta 23-07-2010 07:54 PM

Be imaginative- create your own swear words.

*Everyone turns and looks at Kaz, James and Mark*

Stacey. 23-07-2010 07:54 PM

stf'u and g'tfo are both censored. How stupid. Other forums allow fu'ck and sh*t too.

Braden 23-07-2010 07:59 PM

Zippy 23-07-2010 08:05 PM

I actually got a 3 point infraction from James for saying it to somebody last week. Which was funny because A; I was responding to a post where she had told somebody to st fu and B; Ive said it LOTS of times before and not heard a glimmer from any mod.

Consistent moderation is not this sites strongest point. Sigh.

Jessica. 23-07-2010 09:02 PM

Who cares tbh.

Twilight 23-07-2010 09:08 PM

This is fucking stupid, Whats next >_<

Ruth*Star 24-07-2010 03:23 PM

I will say this forum is quite tame compared to a few wrestling forums i'm on, One of which actively promotes swearing which admins of that forum using swearing in the thread titles.

Jords 24-07-2010 03:28 PM

I know! Its not like we cant get around it anyway. :laugh:

Ninastar 24-07-2010 03:36 PM

I so noticed like, yesterday!

Just because the only thing you have ever said that comes close to a swear word is 'fgs' doesn't mean the rest of us should just stop saying s.tfu.

MissKittyFantastico 24-07-2010 03:38 PM

Pointless, loads of people avoid the swear filter anyway.

Harry! 24-07-2010 06:21 PM

Well done Patrick! :)
