...which is in fact one of my favorite things about this, my favorite ever messageboard. i really mean that, as someone who cusses like a sailor i like being made to come up with alternatives to cuss words and coming up with different ways to express myself.

but...! one of my favorite things is teasing out some of the fun substitutions the mods put in for our favorite late-night terms. for instance, " (I_am_a_loser_who_has_no_respect_for_women) " happens to be one of the favored terms of one of the greatest classic writers of all time. see if you can place this particular bit of verse...

" And by this proverb shall you understand:
Since you've enough, why do you reck or care
How merrily all other folks may fare?
For certainly, old dotard, by your leave,
You shall have (I_am_a_loser_who_has_no_respect_for_women) all right enough at eve.
He is too much a niggard who's so tight
That from his lantern he'll give none a light.
For he'll have never the less light, by gad;
Since you've enough, you need not be so sad."

:o

omg, tia's blushing.

anyway, i see this as a fun thread to talk about the filters on inthe00s, the C-bomb, the F-bomb, the N-bomb, etc.

or it will be another thread i start that dies a quick but horrible death. either one. :P

anyway, keep it clean, y'all!

(and here's a tip to the mods: you could save a lot of work by just substituting "smurf" for every offensive term.)

I think 'they' changed one of my favourite swear word substitutions.  Apparently to allow it!

slut used to be changed to 'a very friendly person'

Also bitch was changed to 'a pregnant female dog' and then later became just witch.  Now it looks as though I can use this word as well.

i prefer "very friendly person". that's awesome. they should change it back. even though yeah, "slut" is very PG.

I like substituting smurf for all the cuss words. ;D

i not only enjoy how the words are automatically filtered and replaced, but how you yourself began using these or making your own.
You always type "shizzle" or ..shoot what's the other one you always use?...i'll have to go look at PMs. I like how you've adapted.

sheesh. i like the word "sheeshy." it's just not a word you're gonna encounter much in nature. ;)

Guess that makes you think twice about posting on the Smurf thread. :D

reminds me of that SNL skit they posted on that thread with slutty smurf on it. i mean smurfy smurf. i couldnt decide if that was hilarious or deeply misanthropic and horrifying.

The line when she tells Papa Smurf she has to mastu . . . I mean smurfurbate.  My vote is for horrifying in a hilarious way.

The profanity filter is automatic - mods don't do all that editing by hand!

Love the idea, but unfortunately it's not quite that simple . The censor page can only change a word to one other word (example: "damn" to "smurf"). Damn isn't on the list, but for the ones that are I'd have to change all of the changed words (like "sheesh") to "smurf-something", essentially doubling the list. That's because if I remove what's there a good portion, if not all, of what was previously censored would no longer be.

We didn't do an April Fool's joke this year with the profanity filter because doing so in 2006 got a bit messy when trying to change "J-uvmber" back to "April".

Tia, I can't place your verse, but I see where the auto censor does ruin its meter.  ;D

Actually in times past the word was not considered swearing at all.  Allegedly there was a street in London called Grope(I_am_a_loser_who_has_no_respect_for_women) Lane

there's a (I_am_a_loser_who_has_no_respect_for_women)-country pun in "hamlet," i know.

Oddly enough I had shown enough restraint on these boards so I didn't know there was a filter until two days ago...or was it yesterday


I had a whole lot of fun figuring out which words were filtered and which (MF) were not...

might want to think about that last one Ant

you could change it to Smurfette Lover.  ;D

I could have sworn that one was already on the list... well, it is now. "Smurfette Lover" it is!

It depends on how you type it...

with a space (two words)
mother fudgeer

without the space (one word)
Smurfette lover

Is it me, or does the censor seem a bit more permissive on this board? I guess the only way to find out is to do a bit of experimentation. Hope no one minds. Allow me to apologise in advance to anyone who cares.

Let's see which ones get changed...

damn
goddamn
damned

sheesh
sheeshty
sheeshe
sheeshhead

fudge
fudgeer
motherfudgeer
fudgeing
fudgehead

dick
butthead
dickface
cock

pussy
twat
queef
douche
douche bag

arse
ass
asshole
arsehole

jackass
tosser
tosspot
wanker
git

slut
whore
ho
tramp
trollop

***for these very offensive slurs that follow, I sincerely do apologise - this is just an experiment***

fag
******
queer
bugger
spick
wetback
kike
heeb
wog
******
chink
wop

smurfette lover?

I don't like the replacement for the C-word. It's judgemental first off (just because you use the word, doesn't mean you're a loser with no respect for women), and it presumes that the poster is American and understands the word the way Americans do. Whereas elsewhere in the English-speaking word, a man can be called a C-word a lot more easily than a woman, and it's much less offensive.

I'm not saying the word should be allowed, just that there should be a better and more appropriate replacement programmed in.

The only slurs that were totally cut out were the N-word, and the longer form of the word fag.

And yeah, instead of MF-er, we get Smurfette lover.

boy have we ever had loads of fun with the filter for the C-word. ;D

This thread needs to be linked with the other one in PPP.  Then some of this would make a bit more sense.  I'm fairly sure that the C was changed to that specifically because of one member.  Smurfette lover is also explained there.

It's got better.  When I first came here it was v strict.  Chucky had a thread a few years back listing some of the ones we thought could become acceptable.


and it presumes that the poster is American and understands the word the way Americans do.


Likewise Ashcroft.  I had no idea what this meant

smurfette lover?

There is only one word on the censor list that generates that quote! ;)

Now there is another one that might still be missed because it is looking for it to be spelled a certain way

I think I know which one that is. :o

I don't like the replacement for the C-word. It's judgemental first off (just because you use the word, doesn't mean you're a loser with no respect for women)

This is true, however, the person who used this word displayed an outstanding lack of judgement by using it toward a female member in a derrogatory manner, hence why it reads as it does.

"Bugger" is an odd one in that, here, it greatly depends on the part of speech it is as to whether or not it's offensive. The past tense of the verb form is something I self-censored when I included it in a parody.



oh man what is that word?

Another one that I suspect is slightly more acceptable in the UK than here, when used as a generic swear word when something goes wrong.

Actually, I think that "Ju-Vember" thingy was done last year, 2007. The profanity filter was also messed with in April 2005 with "t-e-h" and Chucky's name being changed to Scmucky (I had to intentionally misspell it, otherwise it would have come out as Chuck). April Fools 2006 didn't involve the cussword filter at all; it was just Chuck resurrecting the Becks account.

Could be worse.  "Here, Mom, let me get your fanny pack" is probably not something you want to say in the UK.

As for that other word.  Roy "Chubby" Brown said it best:

Also bitch was changed to 'a pregnant female dog' and then later became just witch.  Now it looks as though I can use this word as well.

Wow."pregnant female dog"actually sounds more insulting.!

Sorry to bump up this thread again, but it seems we have some issues with the profanity filter again. I just tried typing the name "H-u-g-g-i-n-s" on another thread (without hyphens), and it replaced three of those letters with the string "chinesecrap"...what's that all about? ::)

We got spammed this morning, and "U-G-G" is the trigger for "chinese crap". I'll see if I can adjust it so that it doesn't affect words with u-g-g in them.

No, it is so that the craploads of links the Chinese spammers leave are all automatically broken. Members can discuss those brand of boots, and the normal rule about skirting the profanity filter with ascii, phonetics, etc does not apply to that word.
