Day Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 With the latest forum update there has been a change to the profanity filter. Where naughty words would previously automatically change to something else, like Bamford for example, now the post will simply be blocked from posting to the forum until you have removed the profanity. My recommendation would be to simply use s*** for example, which is censored enough to keep inline with our terms of use, which are designed to allow this forum to be viewed by all age groups and remain advertiser friendly.

Mucker1884 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) The problem with self censoring is knowing how many *’s to use! Will we be made aware the post is suspended, in order to edit in good time? I guess if I try s**t, I’m about to find out… Edit: well that seems to have got through. I guess we’ll have to wait to see what happens if it doesn’t pass, and requires (further) censoring. ? Edited April 8, 2022 by Mucker1884 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozza Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I'd imagine the future post count will be down by at least 50%, which, in some cases, can only be a good thing, can't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all well and good, but one man's profanity is another man's "acceptable in today's society, even for family viewing"! Didn't "crap" get changed to "carp" at one point? I doubt there are many eleven year olds out there that will be left traumatised by the use of the word "crap". ?♂️ I appreciate where @David is coming from, and fully agree with the need to show some decorum and standards. I've even started typing the words "duck" and "poo" directly! If we know, at the time of going to press, that our posts haven't passed, and are "on hold, awaiting edit", then that's absolutely brill. Absolutely clear. Go back and edit. Not a problem. But if it just disappears, and we don't even realise our post hasn't been accepted, then confusion will reign. I'm sure all will work well, and it probably looks like I'm trying to make a mountain out of a molehill... which is most definitely not my intention... but I'm just trying to envisage how it will work. Self censorship is all well and good, but we all have different limits. Every "self" is different, the world over.@David states that 3 x asterisks are sufficient (given his example), but I've already proved that 2 will suffice (aka "Beat the system"!) I guess we all have to jiggle things around until we know where the bar is set, and what the limits are? ? Miggins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaaLocks Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Does this mean that Bamford will go back to just being Bamford and no longer being a Bamford, when someone actually meant Bamford but it got changed to Bamford, even when talking about Bamford?
