Too much masking lately

[Architecht]

Hey guys,

 

Just a reminder that the profanity filter isn't there to be circumvented. This is a public board and one associated with a business - so we'd like to keep the general level of language broadly acceptable to all ages, and appropriate for the hosts.

 

Thanks for your cooperation.

 

Regards,

Arch

This isn't a smart er... alec question, but is there a list of acceptable swear words, or should I operate under the impression that if it isn't *spooned* then it is okay. Also, I am not talking about compound words to circumnavigate the filter.

This sort of thread is really trying my self-control to make a smart-*spoon* comment...

I think I'm a tolerant and reasonable guy, but some of the filter choices I find surprising. Perhaps if there's too much masking, the filter is set too strict? Just because this is a public, all-ages board doesn't mean that the langauge level should be reduced to pablum.

i think the fact that you used the word "pablum" indicates still that just becase we can't use certain profanities that that doesn't mean we have to infantize our language.

Maybe we should filter the masks?

 

Or at least out the masks...

Not sure of who it was but I think someone was posting half nude pics of Gary Coleman and using all sorts of offending lingo.

The fact you were able to use "infantize" certainly validiates your assertion!

i love you too

Just so you know... "infantize" is not a real word.

[Red Hook]

Probably meant "infantilize".

[Fan4Fan]

I think we have too much analizing going on here...

[DrWatson]

Probably meant "infantilize".

Thank you Mr. Dictionary.

My point is that certain words are being *spooned* which are not necessarily all that bad. In another post I named a popular tropical drink, The Suffering B******, and it came out as Suffering *spoon*.

 

I can understand filtering four-letter words and other bits of language that are not acceptable in polite company, but the filtered word in the tropical drink is something you'd hear on broadcast TV.
