 |
|
The word 'whore' isn't filtered. Is there a special reason, or was it just overlooked? It seems like it'd be something that'd be filtered, but...looks like it's not. If fag and fuck are filtered, why not whore, too?

Probably for the phrase "post whore".

I don't see that many uses of the word "whore" compared to, say, "fag" in flames. Maybe I'm wrong, but it I don't see it as much of a problem.

| While we're talking about it, is it really necessary for ass to be filtered? I mean, about the only time it's ever used is in the phrase "kick ass," and it very seldomly appears in flames. It's such a weak word that I forget to stick the defiltering tags roughly half the time. |

I think the filters are fine.
Keep up the good work crew.

what about asshat then? you really can't just filter a form of the word without filtering ALL of the others...Or not, it kinda depends.

as long as this was bumped...
Is it really necessary to filter "bitch"? When there's a song in DDR called Little Bitch?

I don't. Tell me what the filtered version was.
I was deprived... I didn't have the internet until last summer... and have never played EQ. |

Filters are nothing more than suits getting their way. We the people would benefit so much more with the erradication of them. Let's take the word "FUCK" for example sure it's vulgar, but without this word we wouldn't be able to express a big enough emotion without it. Ok I'm going to throw down two sentences with the same meaning but one will have the beautiful adjective and verb tenses of "FUCK" in it and tell me what you think:
"Excuse me sir, I seem to have lost my wallet. Can you help me find it?"
"Excuse me sir, I seem to have lost my FUCKING wallet. Can you help me find it because without it I'm FUCKED?"
You see the difference. The boy in this case lost his wallet and seems to feel more worried about it in sentence two rather than sentence one. Swears and curses aren't meant to be used just to sound nasty. They also hold a powerful expression and meaning when used correctly. This post should be taken with the up most consideration, maybe the mods and such can realize that words such as these are simply forms of expression.

And language like that is entirely unnecessary.
"Can you help me find my wallet? I'm totally screwed without it."
You don't need to use obscene language to get your point across.

You obviously have no problem getting around the filters...so why should you care?
And I haven't worn a suit in quite a long time, thank you

If you have to use obsenities to express your emotions, then you either don't have a large enough vocabulary or don't know how to properly show your emotions  .

Moderation in the use of curse words should the need to use them arise is the key I think.

I think the conversation is over. Even if it's not, this is still getting locked.

Both of my parents' computers are chock full of spyware and so I sometimes get distracted by the pure evil that resides in this computer. I already removed 535 instances of spy ware on this computer, and more popups just came up.
