shit is the shittiest one so far, way worse than bollocks.
How can we be taken seriously when we call others out on their bullshit?
-
Who takes people that swear alot seriously?
-
shinyfoo
Wow...it really is the new swear filter. I'll be buggered.
-
I miss asterisks so badly.
-
We should have *** < star thingies. Instead of shinyfoo
fuck should be f*** instead :)
etc
-
thats shit
flies changed it because he thought i was british and it was pissing him off
-
Instead of replacing text with text, we should replace it with happy things, like bunnies. The forums would be so much happier that way.
-
No, use geologic terms. Bunnies fall in the face of volcanism.

I laughed at that. But that's the kind of thing that gets less funny every time you see or hear it. F11.

shinyfoo....
hmm
shiny food....SHINY FOOD....GIMME ALL YOUR SHINY, GREASY FOOD! >:O
-
remove all swear filters because as soon as you start filtering swear words, you soon start censoring other things like c***unism and s***n

How about "Shet" with an "e".
-
This is bollocks! [retard]
-
Let me test it a little...
shinyfoo - Sheet
feck - the F word
gay - Not Changed
sex machine - Wore
^ Okay I'm done testing.
Errm... I think the swear filter is fine, if it doesn't overlap any words that may contain the word within.
-
shinyfoo feck tittes wanker slaggot twat dickhead bullshinyfoo
ever considered filtering the ones that havent been filtered? eg dickhead, twat, wanker
-
You dont want that. ^
..do you?
-
Fuck, Shit, Cunt, Nigger
One of these things is not like the others, one of these things does not belong. It's been bugging me for a while.
-
Considering the nature of this forums it should be censored.
-
Considering the nature of this forums it should be censored.
But it can get a whole lot worse, That word is not just by itself, see, you've got sh!t and then you've got crap, which still means the aformentioned Sh!t, but it's not censored.
for example-
Nigger, Jungle bunny, coon, darkie Spear chucker Ect. None of those are filtered. So really there is almost always a way around the filter, if you're clever. If you want to to be censored then you've got to censor ALL of it.
Better off to just filter the really bad ones.
I'm not really racist, I'm just proving a point.
-
The rules forbid abusing the swear filter anyway. Pity we have such lazy mods

I tend to PM anyone I see abusing the swear filter
We're not lazy, we just don't drag everyone out and beat them in public

I'd use the word "poop" to censor every curse.

I don't see what the big deal is using a swear filter. It makes it look like the admins are a bunch of babysitters. I'm sure more than 50% of Soldateers are over 18. Those who are here and under 18 swear anyway and probably know more curses than your average sailor. If there is no filter, I can see that some may abuse
the filter (edit, me dummy) that privilege... but it would be a very small margin. There are many other forums without swear filters and there tends to be little abuse. It's just the douchebags that no one likes in real life or online that are so desperate for attention that they usually will post nothing but profanity or just complete useless replies to posts. This will happen in any forum, regardless of what you have for a swear filter. It's nice that you want to protect the eyes of younger, innocent Soldat enthusiasts, but if you think about it... no one that plays Soldat is innocent anymore. :P I mean, it's one of the goriest 2d games around, you can piss on people in the game and popular servers don't have swear filters.
This is my opinion of course. I just don't think that protecting the mass of members from a couple of forum abusing douchebags is worth the trouble to babysit everyone and make sure they stay in line. There is also the misconception that it keeps language a little less heated in flamewars. If someone wants to truly put someone else down, there are many ways of brutal psychological attacks that don't require the use of profanity.
If you are going to use a swear filter, could you at the very least use a decent replacement or just mask the word with *** or a "censored". Every time I see the words: shinnyfoo or bollocks, it makes me want to go to the house of the person who invented the word shinnyfoo and paint the inside of their house with it.
My 2 cents.
-
I really relate to this perspective. I'm not so sure I would go to such an extreme standpoint (saying you'd paint FLAB's house's walls with "shinyfoo" repeatedly :P), but if staff is active (more like "vigilant") enough, a swear filter is debatable. I used to be for a filter, but ever since protests at another board some years ago showed me its nature, I feel that it makes the staff lazy, and quietly dulls the staff's sense to the poor behavior that it should always be on guard against.
The rules here say "No over-abundant swearing"; I'm not sure what "over-abundant" is, lol, but that's fine! But it also has "Do not abuse the swear filter" when staff as well post "feck." That makes it interesting. Whenever I see swear words here, I edit the posts silently and just leave an edited-by trail (I just edit practically everything that I see since I only hang out in the mapping section, and the words annoy me anyways). That is enough to show staff activity and to let people know of what they're doing, if they ever bother to return to their posts; I would think on any board, idiots who swear in every other word would be warned on sight, so I feel if the staff just edits out excessive swearing in the background, the filter isn't needed. (To me "excessive swearing" is a word every 10 or 20 posts or so; any more and start to take 'em out. Or take 'em all out, anyways... this board is so gigantic I don't think the staff would ever be able to nail everything.)
I also factor into account Soldat's own lack of such a filter (right? Does the latest have one? :P I dunno).
shinyfoo feck tittes wanker slaggot twat dickhead bullshinyfoo
feck, shinyfoo, arse, Nigger
New insulting words/phrases are made all the time. They can't be considered dodging the swear filter since the filter doesn't cover them. They are valid slang English; the filter can't stop them. It should be staff vigilance that keeps an eye out for idiocy. (Of course, I'm expressing all this assuming that the staff is willing to step up to the plate and do more stuff than lock threads/warn people. If not, then I could probably argue going the other way around, too.)
Off-topic:If someone wants to truly put someone else down, there are many ways of brutal psychological attacks that don't require the use of profanity.
This is very true.

George Carlin wasn't afraid to swear in his most recent book of orgies. You're all just a bunch of pussies.

The word nigger is hardly a new word.... Did you mean to throw my quote in there?
-
well if Nig is censored we could always just call someone something else. thats what hes trying to say.

He was an unfunny douche though.

I bet This (http://youtube.com/watch?v=MeSSwKffj9o) is why ;)

[sarcasm]
We could have drop-down lists of common phrases that we piece together to make a post/reply.
[/sarcasm]
I think swear filtering is bullshit, who needs that crap?
-
You could always make it so it is a default option, but if you went into the profile tab there would be something that allowed you to turn it off.

that made me crack up so bad
-
Yeah, a-4-year-old's correct.
I don't think I'm so much against a swear filter itself as much as that everyone just breaks it all the time. If the board is to keep this, I should not be able to read a staff member post "Sh!t" as I have. The staff should abide by it since they are in a respectable position and it wouldn't be encouraging at all to general community behavior and manner to watch them break their own rules.
In short, all the staff should be like The Geologist. ;D
-
So they should all be boring nerds? Oh wait, they already are! Ba-Zing.
Anyway, do to COPPA, I really don't see why we need a filter, there isn't that much of a reason.

"Click it I fecking dare you." I just read this in the News.
Apparently most of the staff doesn't even care about curbing vulgarity (even promoting it, as shown by the "Floppy Disks" title edit, by none other than Amblin himself), so the filth here might as well be unleashed to its full extent—a swear filter makes it not just hypocritical, but very shallowly superficial at that when seen in the light of actions like these. Indecision is not far from being pathetic, even in comparison to the blatantly wrong choice.
FLAB. Take it off or whip the staff. (And this is an old staff, so I don't think that can be done very easily or quickly; online communities such as these ultimately have a lifespan, after all.)
-
Take away my right to cuss? Fuck that! ^˘.
If I do it in an unreadable font, will that calm all your flower-gentle souls?
-
I would have to agree with Keron. Swear filter is useless.Â
And I thought Amblin was one of the last moderators who was straight. I guess everyone on this forum is in some way fucked.
-
The good ones are feck, because it is (or at least looks like) a reference to Father Ted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-T5snc_LYSY), and bastard, since it's kinda clever.

bastard was ripped off hot fuzz

just about
one moderator was a hacker
another one hates everyone and bans them when he feels like it
there was a massive douche that picked on people

Again, do you miss anyone whom I banned?

Heh. Therefore trash it!
It wouldn't surprise me if FLAB's not even been reading this thread, though. There's been no response.

I completely agree, man. We can talk about all kinds of inappropriate sexual crap, with clear and colorful imagery but can't even say "shinyfoo"? Punishing the mods wouldn't do crap, since most of them have been here long enough to consider themselves invincible gods.
Take it off!

Someone should pm him.

gosh don't go out of your way or anything

PM-ing FLAB doesn't really speed it up.
