Turn off the censor

Dee, do you think you could simply turn off/clear the list of the word censor please? For whatever reason the *'s have really been annoying me personally, recently. I think that since some words were removed a little while back while others remained it just seems kind of silly to leave it now.

I understand and agree completely with the basic reasons why it's in place, but I think that it's simply best left to boom, HGM, and myself (along with the other part time moderators) to take care of on a case by case basis. I know that personally I'm not going to sit by and allow the gratuitous use of cursing, just like we're not going to allow conversations here to completely degenerate into name calling. Some cursing here and there certainly isn't going to hurt anyone, however.

Like What mets guy did when The first set where uncensored? I think at least a few should be uncensored, but dont announce it or anything, and people can figure it out on there own

And people that abuse will be dealt with accordingly, as ohms said.

i would say no, people should be intelligent enough to not use those words and find another word to say in their vocabulary. I would rather see *** then the actually word. The forum does the censorship for us, I wouldn't want the moderators to become sensor nazis.

Well, that's kind of the point. Let people say what they want, and the mods would only intervene if it goes too far. They wouldn't be "censor nazis."

Also, using those words has nothing to do with intelligence. :)

plis there are ways around everything

prlck for example

Prick's not censored, :p

oh lol
well bltch is :p I didn't want to go there but I guess I had to lol

I support this idea

You can't spell to save your life, but you're exactly right. Even with the censor now, people can spell out their favorite swear words in different ways (spelling it differently, using different characters, etc). I know others like RickD would prefer that everybody just learn to use other (more appropriate) words to express their point, but that's not a realistic option. If enough people were (continually) offended by somebody's posting habits, the moderators would take the appropriate action.

Agreed, which is my primary point really. It's just... intrusive, I guess. Being an automated system that's hardly surprising. The main point is that there's always one of us around if something becomes a real problem, so I don't see the point in keeping the automated system on.

It is really annoying, and it blocks stuff weirdly. F/e You can say bitches, but not b-itch. Could we just have the filter turned off completely? I doubt any one here will abuse it, and if so, we have good mods. Not to mention its not like 5 year olds are here, Most of us are 14 or older

**** you.

There are times when you would think that there are a bunch of 5 year olds here.

While they may act like 5 year olds, it's not in a vulgar sense.

a can o' worms if u ask me

Yea, but there's HGM, boom, mike, and I, among others, to take care of the real problems... I (obviously) agree with RSR. Just turn it off, and we'll take care of the real problems that come up.

I'm sure that the kids like metsguy would abuse it for a day or two, but those threads/posts (along with any that crop up down the line) can simply be deleted. It's not a big deal.

i am offended by rsr's name... can we remove him :p

I couldn't think of an analogy. I was going to say "bicker like a married couple", but, that's in the opposite direction of maturity. Two little school girls fits perfectly.

And you don't Houston? You and Metsguy always bicker like , uhm, little school girls

Really? There's a difference between bickering like little school girls and discussing/debating an issue.

Well, you call him a 10 year old every chance you get, and feed him over and over about saves and stuff

No, he didn't. I don't recall it, at least. He just made one thread about it.

mo-ron

It's a little ridiculous that that word is still censored... it's not even a bad word.

No, he did go crazy. He made one thread and posted about the loosing in several others

lets close this tread... its a he said she said thread and its going nowhere

What a worthless thread this amounted too. There should be a minimum age limit for these Mogul forums. Can't have reasonable, intelligent conversations with little 13 or 14 year old teenie boppers.
