Forum censor

[Fliggerty]

I have decided to turn on the censor.  It's only set for some of the most common vulgar words.  The great thing is that you can turn it off if you choose.

Go to your profile here: ucp.php?i=prefs&mode=view

Select what you choose on "Enable Word Censoring."

By default it is set to use censors.

[Davada Jones]

Of this

I will approve.

[Fliggerty]

You damn well better, I'm not trying to be an asshole.  

[Jac Making my way back]

I believe that self-censorship is best, but when it's not applied, other methods have to be used. You're not being a jerk, Fligg, you're just being a concientious admin.

[Gnomey]

In that case, I might as well make it clear that I also approve. Though my habit of reading things "unabridged" outweighs my dislike of excessive bad-mouthery in this case, so I turned off the filter anyway.

oh sorry, didn't notice this sticky when I wrote a post about it!

ok, got it copied and pasted so you can close that other one if needed:

I saw some changes to some of my posts and the first one I thought a moderator was being funny but then read in a post that the censor thing was turned on. I think it needs a bit of fine tuning since the word 'rear end' (those who kill for a living) got turned into 'rear end' which makes my post look a bit weird... (just previewed it and it is changing it here too!) I dont want people thinking I am planning a "rear end guild"!

The first one I noticed was where I said I am a PCA (personal care rear end -those who help others) and that got changed to (personal care rear end) and that one I thought was added as a joke to my post just following it where I thought the post after mine was a riddle for me to figure out.

I think it is doing a search for just those 3 letters together or something like that and switching the whole word whether or not it is a swear word to the censored version. In reading through my wip thread I saw it changed words there too and I dont usually use swear words so think it needs a bit of fine tuning...  I highlighted the words the part explaining what the word should be to show what I mean by it censoring things weirdly.

Yes, yes, censor is on. But you'll have to change the description for "Anything goes" board.
I don't mean to be a pest, as I know you've been taking a lot of... er... poop, lately

[Maria of Morrowind]

It looks fixed on my other thread about it but I think this one shows up boinked here because I copy/pasted when the censor was still active, maybe?  But I think it works now...

I just turned the censor on this morning.

Locking this thread so any other conversation can continue here: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=175

Any other conversation, Fliggerty?

As in, conversation involving cars?
Or books? Salad? Music?

...the Evil Sorcerors' Party?

[Gnomey]

Ah yes. The alternate word for donkey is also censored, isn't it? I'll have to remember that if I ever write anything concerning an... asinine creature.

[Miserina]

I know this will seem crude or dumb, but is there a way to see the list of censored words?

Like, that way I can just read them off and say "Don't say those words.' to myself.

[Chazz of Blades]

Fligg, all of the icons above the tip box come up as errors. So I have no idea how post a video or a picture, it's strange. I had something to post....

[Sandman101]

Thanks   !

[dingo]

Great idea.

I'm not sure what you're talking about.  Maybe a screenshot please?

I think the anything goes works. If someone yells fire in a crowded building. Then they'll hear about it. So it's still free speech. You can pick non censor if you like so it's still the same.

[Gnomey]

He means this: "I mean it, anything. No censors here (or anywhere on this site!)" It certainly needs to be edited a bit.

Naajaw is right!

[Davada Jones]

Gnomey is right!

[Earth Wyrm]

Davada is Right. *nod, nod*

[SpiritedTreasure]

I don't care one way or the other.. Most forums censor. =shrug=

I'm not a big fan of censoring but know that it's necessary to a degree, since I'm also not a big fan of needless cussing. That being said, I've seen examples of censoring that made me chuckle. With the right kind of word substitution censoring can be fun  

[Skydye]

The cussing I've seen is more in the way of name calling.

That's more or less how I feel about it. I think it is awesome that people can turn it on or off for themselves, so that they do not have to see anything that someone posts. It's one thing when someone who has been here for a while decides to get potty-mouthed, but when (and if it hasn't happened yet, it will) someone new comes here and has no sense of how we work/who we are, they might either just bring a really crazy potty mouth here with them, or they might bring a sensitive ear (eye, whatever). We can make both kinds of people feel at home--something that you can't really do in real life.

I agree I cuss sometimes.But I do not do it around people who become offended or might.I think the censor is the best way to do it.I saw one post changed to doody.And that caught my attention much more and gave me a chuckle.Any way I do not cuss at the posts.I do not want to offend anyone.And it is not hard to use another word.Also if you want to see cussing you can.Therefore a censor pleases everyone.
