Thread: Town Hall Discussion: Modification to policy on bypassing filtered words -- use of profanity

Bassturd seems to work fine.

What does SNAFU mean? Seriously, I just thought it was a word meaning in a sticky spot, never thinking it was an acro.

Wow, you learn something new everyday.

In some of the non-lounge threads, I think the filter of certain words should be allowed because of the nature of the thread. For example, the Music Title Thread. There are song titles with certain "sentence enhancers" in them, so that should be an acception to the rule.

For ........ sake, I can already guess which of Coach's posts got the big NO NO from the mods. Over Moderation is just as bad as Under Moderation.

Let's not make this place like the very place we all left from....if we're going to do that, we might as well save T the money and go back to Mania.

And Fred the Bunny needs a place to be Dr Velcro.

There was no over moderation, read the guidelines.

Give me a break Anu....we all seriously knew what Coach was getting at and unless he is seriously going after another poster, I don't see an issue with it. He wasn't demeaning anyone.

Doesnt matter, the guidelines are quite clear about not making up multiple accounts no matter who it is. That is what his violation is for, not him going after another poster.

Have you guys ever read or watched the movie "Lord of the Flies"?

I was just wondering....

Yea, pretty good movie. Although Equilibrium is much better. Kind of like Fahrenheit 451 which is awesome.

I tend to agree with you. You create too many rules and nit pick everything it will chase people away. But if you don't have rules and moderation the inmates run the jail. The goal is to find the sweet spot.

Leave the rules alone. If you're going to permit certain variations to circumvent the filter, why have banned words at all? And if you go that route, I know I won't be around.

I probably shouldn't have said that. I just gave a bunch of people a reason to vote for changing the rules.....

Can we get "Cutler" added to the list of banned/filtered words?
