Nice! Was that a "Bush-ism?" (Love him or hate him, he does butcher him some words...) :cheeky:

"ahhh, i see." said the blind man. so if i type ######, it should get blocked but nigga will breeze thru the filter. interesting. the other examples you've given i can understand but the two i'm concerned with are almost synonymous. why block one and not the other? who sets the filter anyway?


edit: well, well, well. looky here. both words seemed to breeze thru the filter. it's a conspiracy i tell you, a conspiracy!!

you got me curious now, spic.....hmmm interesting

I disagree. First of all, I can't do anything to offend you (or anyone else for that matter). I could probably do and say many, many things that you would find offensive, however, someone else may find those exact same things to be hilarious or insightful or indifferent. Whether or not something is offensive is completly subjective. The fact that people find words, any words, to me, is completely paranoid and actually facilitates the many ignorant ideas behind some of those words.

are you trying to tell me to not be offended if i so choose to be? i hope not. i don't care if someone else finds it hilarious...i might be offended. respect that.

anyway......Eternaldarkness, we should start a thread to see what kind of response we get in regards to this. we can call it ###### vs Spic! LMMFAO!

i am with you, lmao

we'll duke it out using our best racist jokes until we get someone to stop us. what'll be even funnier is when no one does.....

oooh, they shut me down. good, i'm glad. now do something about the profanity filters....

holy crapper-rapper-rooski!
that was some fast-acting mod'ing!!!

i could almost hear the "woosh!" noise of the air being sucked back into the place where your thread was...

LMAO! yeah, it was fast. but it had to be because i was being drastic. i'm glad. it means the mods aren't sitting on their hands. now hopefully it won't have been in vain and we'll see some change...

i hope so, wow that thread would have been legendary

eternaldarkness, did you even get to read it?

I don't see a need for change.

Obviously when it's a problem, I.E. your thread, it's nuked and nuked quick. When it's not a problem it's left alone. I think if anything the change should be to unfilter crap and ########.

EDIT: I guess they stopped filtering crap all ready. The other one is the re-word.

so you think these words that caused this debacle don't need to be filtered?
