chat filter

[Mark]

The swear filter in the chat room now applies to mods

It is also far too harsh, it wouldn't allow Scrappy Doo because it contained the word crap, wtf is that about

[Dave Beck]

[Anger]

Crap isnt even a bad word is it

[Mark]

well it is allowed by the filter in here but not by the filter in the chat room

what if I wanted to talk about Sir Thomas Crapper, the inventor of the bathroom furniture that bears his name ?

[IanW]

erm tough crap

[Mark]

Seriously though Ian, it is a bit harsh mate. I can understand words like the f and c variants and maybe the vernacular for testicles but crap, come on...... Is it set by the provider or can we modify the options?

[IanW]

i can add words to the filter but i cant edit the base list.

well that means I just can't use it then

difference being that on the forum it blanks the word... in the chat room you can't even post it until the word is gone...wtf

[Mark]

Well then if that is the only bit of the new site that I am unhappy with, I reckon you have done a ******* good job mate

what was it AP said the other day... mods / admin live by different rules?

Look at the first post... it wouldn't let me say scrappydoo
Took me bloody ages to work it out. First I thought it didn't like Legacy
Wasn't even swearing... for once

[carnivorous]

**** the ****in crap **** ****** ****e

[carnivorous]

*****.....

[Mark]

Yeah, we know the swear filter works Phil, the point was that the chat room was censoring words in a manner not seen since Saddam was in power

[carnivorous]

so what's new? it happened before....just now it's automated!

:-D

ROFL

[scooby-tc]

It wouldnt let me use damn or hell in there now that is daft if they are on the base filter then its seriously badly designed

HTH

[Mark]

Yeah we ran a test on it last night Daz and the base filter was found to be set at a level of profanity that even a nursery age child could trigger

I couldn't even recite Baa Baa Black Sheep without it firing off an automated report to the British Thought Control Police and 10 minutes later, my front door was kicked down and I was hauled off for interrogation and mental reprogramming to stamp out my unwillingness to consider diversity in rhyme. Apparently I was discriminating against Alpacas, Llamas and other wool producing mammals by only asking the Sheep if he had any wool when the quality of the wool from the others would have ben just as good and by not asking them too, I was creating a monopoly for Sheep wool and denying the others a fair share of the market










Well, maybe not but you get the gist

[carnivorous]

damn it all to hell.

lock the thread!
