Joyrex Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm finding myself having to 'police' threads where 'clever' people are circumventing the word filters (that besides that acronym I personally cannot stand, filter out offensive racial epithets and certain file-sharing sites that I do not want showing up in the Google index for WATMM) with greater frequency, and as a result, from this point forward, anyone circumventing the filters in place by any means will be warned, and their account suspended, permanently if needed, if multiple repeated infractions occur. The word filters were put in place due to members of the forum being offended by racial epithets, and since asking people not to use such language didn't work, the filters became a matter of necessity.

Guest assegai Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm against the word filters. It's silly and just causes confusion. Imagine word filters for real life. It's like a few bad seeds spoiling it for the rest, just warn/ban the people who abuse use them against others instead of an intelligent (ohh pun) way.

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work! So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces. -organized confused project Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/42355-circumvention-of-the-word-filters/#findComment-943101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
