Chief can we just go back to *s. having [censored] or [limited vocabulary] takes up too much room and stands out more
Totally agree with this

You know we're just mucking around with the filter, right? All this angst is wasted - funny, but wasted.
But maybe we're just mucking around with you, and your angst at our angst is wasted? Angstception.

But seriously change the damn filter you Mooing Quinz.
 
Making BigFooty "family friendly" doesn't even make sense.

Since when do bloody families log onto internet forums?

You should think of the children Arya Stark. I'm sure there are plenty of young teenagers and even preteens who frequent BF.
 
Did this work?

Fornicate.
 
This.
I really enjoyed going on <unnamed board for my own safety> and seeing **** **** **** ******************** *** *********** **** ******* you. ************ * *********** life.

I hate the non descriptive swear words. If I say words like **** or **** or even ****face or ******** I want people to know what I'm saying. If I say things like Ant_ has a small [limited vocabulary] people will start thinking I'm half educated and will come at me with a vengeance.

And if I say Vonn has a great pair of [Limited Vocabulary] people will not understand i'm talking about her *******!!!!
 
Still fed up with all the word substitution. Can we get ***** back for all the words you guys don't like?

If I wanted to type screwed, I would type screwed. When campaigner gets changed to `silly' I re-edit to break the filter because seriously, what the ****. Silly?

I'm sure someone is giggling mightily at this and has earned their Boy Scout `Internet Hijinks' badge by setting this up, but come on.

I am giggling.
 
Why is w@anker even filtered??

It is a unique part of Aussie vernacular and can certainly be used in a non-abusive way, just like bastard.

Are we seriously trying to purify society like this?

Thanks for that.

I'm guessing* that the word in question is not part of your everyday vocabulary.

Whereas, a lot of us mere plebs do tend to use it regularly.

*not really.
 
Yeah, sorry. I was being sarcastic and unhelpful.

The real answer is that words make it into the filter mostly due to practical reasons rather than because of any set rationale or philosophy. Even if a word has an alternative innocuous use, if it's mostly used for stuff that breaks the rules (e.g. abuse, spam) it's easier to put it in the filter than mod every instance.

That said, the filter has had a bit of tinkering since the changeover and this stuff isn't set in stone. Chiefy is the court of appeal.
 
Whereas we can say dickhead unhindered??

I'm struggling to think of a non-abusive use for that.

As you say, it is a work in progress. Just thought that I'd mention it.

Carry on.
