AliveBoy Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Hi Guys, This is a query more than a suggestion and apologies in advance if me quoting bad words offends anyone Why is it that the swear filter is active on the forum when the homepage of said forum has fu**ing written on it in the youtube video preview? And you can't say sh*t, but you can say bullshit? I know I may be being pedantic, but it all confuses me as the main homepage would convey more of a first impression to new users than a random user who's not a member of staff using a bad word in a post. I know as with anything it's all in the context of usage, but seems a bit like double standards? Thanks, Matt Edited September 18, 2013 by Dedman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I believe there is work in progress with Admin to sort the swear filter as we are aware that it is not perhaps as consistent as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 the video has an unfortunate preview point it used to be a video of a dyno run, but it was annoying people as it would auto start when you logged on to the forum, and if your speakers were up loud it got a bit tedious, so I recommended changing it to the forum joke video made by an old member. it was very funny. but still had the same issue. but this time hitler would start blaring out of your speakers. so the mods auto paused it. but sadly the preview screen happens to be stuck on the one unfortunate word in it.

Ricey Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Bullshit is because your linking a word which disguises the swear word. For example youmother****ingshitsuckingthunder****. Clearly this post can be deleted or censored once its educational purpose is served. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Ooooooo no it looks like it actually does work on linked words. I'm impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Personally I don't see why we need a swear filter at all. Okay, maybe for the c word which seems to be hated (although I used to censor my own use, anyway), but really we're all adults and self moderation works better than any filter. If someone swears all the time they become dull, but if swearing is used sparsely then it can be used to great effect to liven up a post.

It's the first car forum I've been a member of which has one, generally all members will be over 16 at least. On driftworks there's a filter to stop the words "epic" and "stanced" being used, epic is changed to mediocre and stanced to lalalalalalalalala they are good (and highly amusing) word filters.

Ekona Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I quite like it when the filter is used to correct spelling mistakes and txt spk, i.e. teh becomes the, cos becomes because, m8 becomes mate etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
