entertainme, wow, you warn people for saying f'n? That is ridiculous imo. I type "effing" all the time on here.

If I type [censored] it's filtered.

If I type f'n, isn't that by definition circumventing the filter?

What about fkg?

Fukg? Where do you draw the line?

This morning there was a post with buckfutting. It seems to me there's only one logical way to rework that into a word.

For the record, I'm not offended by profanity, just trying to get an idea of how the rule is being enforced forum wide, (though I do think if we had no filter the site could quickly become unreadable.)

I think "effing" is a socially acceptable non profanity in enough contexts that we should allow it. If you want to get techincal, the F is ok, it's when the u and the c get involved that we should be concerned.

OK. I've removed the warning and apologized to the poster.

I can see the logic of Gidwulf's enforcement method.

Thanks for the help.

I do not think "f'n" is circumventing the filter any more than saying "freaking" instead of "fu[/i]cking". I don't draw the line anywhere. I'm not the one in charge of programming the filter, so I'll leave that job to those that are. The only thing I'd consider unacceptable is using closing tags like I did above to display a whole filtered word. Frankly, I don't care if people use curses and I think it's pretty laughable that there's a filter at all. I know some of the admins want it though, so I have no problem with the rule that you can't directly circumvent it, which I consider to be finding ways to display strings of text that are not allowed.

Posted by Prickly Pete in the Brandi thread after I posted a warning that circumventing filter in that thread would result in ban.

Dids, please take Brandi back?

[Dids]

lol,

Brandi isn't so much the problem as it's the legion of 19 year olds frustrated that she'd rather pal around with DS than them.

Dids,

Would agree that Brandi is at least slightly batshit crazy?
