If you want to pay me $5.15 an hour to read every thread in SEN for usage of swear words in an inappropriate manner or search though piles of reports of paranoid people trying to get someone else banned to find the meaningful reports, let's talk.

The point of swear word filters is not to protect young members from seeing the words.  I'll eat my socks if there are any people who regularly visit here and have never heard of all the bad words.

The point is merely to spare the eyes of our civilized members and prevent SEN from degenerating into a pile of flame.

If you can't manage to post without your post becoming illegibly censored, please leave.  Now.  We have no need for you until you can express yourself in a more mature manner.

Finally, I think a SEN Rant would belong in Feedback, don't you?

well it can be your choice to look at every post on SEN.
then whats the point having moderators that arent active or to do there jobs that they moderate?

plus we have a report system... should that make it easier?
one little vulgar language then bam.... ill report that person.

Whenever would you ever need to say the word? Can you justify using it?

I cannot find a single post where I've used the word. (I may have but I'm sure it's already been edited out by me)

Personally, I'm fine with the swear filters. They make me laugh, actually. It's just funny to me to read a flame war where they call each other cigarretes and roostersuckers. Anyone who's been posting here for more than a week knows what all the replaced words really mean, so it's not like we don't know what you're saying.

I don't swear much. I just use the light weights like hell and damn. But when you read a post and you see the uncensored F word, you can feel the sting of a flame, even if it's not directed at you. People feel differently about swear words. Some don't mind them at all, while others don't like them. I'll use myself as an example. Unless I know you VERY well, it will be hard for me to not take it as an insult if you called me a F---head, even if they were just joking around. If my best friend calls me a cockgobbler, I can laugh about it, but if someone I don't know that well calls me that, even if they were kidding, I would probably take it as an attack.

It's sometimes hard to tell what someone really means when they sling profanity everywhere, because the words are fighting words, IMO.

There would be no point in changing the swear filter to new words, because there would ALWAYS be someone to find fault with it. What makes one person happy will piss off someone else. I say keep em. People that get mad easily are funny anyways, it just adds extra comedy if their words are bleeped out. Jerry Springer wouldn't be nearly as funny without half of the show having that loud BEEEEP throughout it.

Satire is funny xD

I dont swear a lot, but when I do, I'd like to be able to say it, rather than have some random word that makes me look idiotic.

I can't think of any specific examples, since i have to be in the mood to really say it (I dont go: 'OMFT YOU FARKING NOOB YOU NEED TO BE NOT A FARKING NOOB', but use it sparingly to get my point across. Like 'This particular program that the government intitutets is s***'.

i like the loud beep.
but should we really have a choice.... to people accounts like if i want them off i can just go to my controll panal and turned them off. for some people that have virgin eyes they can just turn the swear filters on.

people are just going to flame anyways whether the swear filter is on or not.

I think word filters are being used WAY to much.

I dont look civilized when it looks like im saying "biznatch" or "shiz". At least make us look half decent and use censors like "S**t, S***, Sh**, S---" or whatever the hell you like, but dont make me, or us, look like an idiot.


The whole point is to make people like you sound like an idiot.

We do not read every post made on these boards. That would be insane. You go read evey one of the 364,529 (and counting; averaging 2.3 posts per minute) posts and report to me every one with vulgar language. I'll make you a global mod too! Go!

I do not need my inbox flooded with "OMG I HATE HIM AND HE CALLED ME AN IDIOT. PLZ BAN!!!"

If anything, the filters should make you look more stupid.

They are not going away.

it was worth a shot ermm.gif
i barly see any moderators that isnt in the forums by the names of mini moose and DT.
if you dont want to do all this work then recruit more active mods that can cover the holidays also. im here almost everyday reading the forums that i like.
if i can cover a clan forum then i can somewhat cover another forum.

I'm sick of Kellimoose... Also Kellimoose that wasn't directed at you so no need to respond. I like the filters, they do look funny smile.gif. I mainly have replaced words like fark with other words to avoid sounding like an idiot. Sometimes I'll forget about the filters and end up sounding like an idiot though.. the old censored.gif one was kind of nice, but yeah now if we choose to use curse words we come off as idiots, so the best method of prevention is making someone sound like an idiot if they do it! Hmm that won't really fit into a slogan...

Well, like what DT_Battlekruser said, the purpose for the swear filter is to make you look like an idiot than flaming.

It should be a big caps word like:

"IM AN IDIOT FOR USING A SWEAR WORD"
replacing Sh--

"EVERYONE LOOK AT ME IM COOL I CAN SWEAR"
for F---

Using censored.gif worked best.

Some reason, a post like

censored.gif YOU, YOU censored.gif ING censored.gif S. I censored.gif ING HATE YOU censored.gif ING censored.gif S!

Tends to stand out.

I really liked that old filter.

Mini> I was joking. There is no way anyone, even you, can read everything that is posted at SEN. That's what the REPORT button is for.

If they wanted to keep it professional though, they would rid it of the spammers.

They do. But you can't ban everyone they see spamming; half the members at SEN have spammed once in their lifetime on SEN.

QUOTE
well i think they should have something like. you can choose either if you want to swear filter it or not in your control panel.

i mean come on... who here that is 13 and over doesn't know all the vulgar language.

you cant get warned with the swear filter on it then whats the point having a warn system? its better to take out swear filter and make people get them selves warned and kicked out of SEN

I think I'll stay on the same track. What would the higher Starcraft powers say if they saw half of SEN getting warned and kicked from SEN?

QUOTE

I agree. But, of course, give moderators or something the power to take that ability away. Even regulars can have problems.

I meant to disable the viewing of censors. Newbies would always see swears words censored, but if you (the regular) disabled the censor option, you would see regular swear words.
