And that doesn't make any sense whatsoever when you're trying to read a post, no one knows which word you used. Surely the words should be filtered as I demonstrated in the first line? That'd make more sense...

Good post.

Everyone knows when '****' shows up on their screen it's one of the 3, so may as well make it clearer which one of the 3 it is. And the swear word is still not written out in full so members who are for the swear filter shouldn't be affected by it.

I do find it strange that sh*t is censored yet twat isn't. I mean, that is a much worse swear word.

That's true. Then again, neither of those words should be filtered, really.

Edit - IMO, of course.

Thread 'Dear channel 5' message 6,this siggie has em all and is not nice for newbies or people that don't like such words,I dont mind the odd F word but that other one is vile.

I'm sorry but I really don't like this argument. I'm sure the people who don't like swearing are in the minority (and even then I respect their views - just don't think the minority should speak for all) and we were all newbies...yet the majority don't have a problem with swearing.

So...yeah.

Nah, I disagree. I've never considered 'twat' a swear word, just a rude/derogatory term, whereas 'sh*t' I have. I think 'sh*t' is like the entry level swear word, and then you move up the chain to fuc*, wank and then finish with good old ***** (that's what he said).

But even nowadays I'd say in most areas of life sh*t is becoming less and less of a 'swear word' as such.

that shi' cray.

Let's just hope they don't start bleeping BB like mad, especially not with the likes of Ashleigh. Seeing as we have no live feed, it's all shown after the watershed, there's no point. It's not a show for children, anyway. Everybody knows what to expect off BB, so I'm flabbergasted that the words still get bleeped.

What if I had **** on my dick? people will never know what I had on my dick

I really think the censored thing is getting a little annoying. The 's' word is a re-worded version of the word "poo". Come on, it is just a different version of saying poo.

[Redway]

There shouldn't be a filter there at all tbh. It's like flogging a dead horse though. I doubt any of the admin. will even consider removing this ridiculous thing and keep it for the sake of it just being there.

[King Gizzard]

I wanted a system where instead of *'ing out words it changed the swearword to silly words like **** could be plague

plague off will you

aren't I cool

[Josy]

Pretty sure Admin have the swear filter in place for what they think is a good reason Redway, it's hardly for it "just being there".

[King Gizzard]

But yes swearing cheapens the forum

[Ramsay]

Swear filter will always be stupid

[Shaun]

especially for a forum about Big Brother. Times have changed considerably since the humble days of Craig, Anna and Melanie

That's such an amazing idea, I wish this could happen

[Ramsay]

Lots of worse things to be seen on the internet than some people on a big brother forum typing a few bad words

[Ramsay]

Nathan you are such a motherplaguer
