One I frequently run into is such a silly filter... It's an 'r' word that means to be slowed down. I just choose to replace it with something more pointed since that fairly innocuous word is censored. I guess talking about the thing that does the slowing is allowed however as the censor allows it with the -ant ending. Heh, that's BOVINEFECES!

Yet who calls a donkey an ass anymore?

Yet I hear people calling male chickens "cocks" All. The. Time.

As some have said, i've searched for the censor filter in the settings. I thougt i was too dumb to find it by it doesnt exist at all.

As i find swearing-for-the-sake-of-just-swearing pointless, i see no harm in read it in a ordinary post.

No one talks like: "Holy censored! Look at that car!".

Well, i guess i made my point.

Can you, moderators (programmers), make it a toggle option?

I'd appreciate it.

The rationale is that "ass" has a legitimate alternative usage, though the same doesn't apply to a male hen, curiously.

And yet it does apply to 'Belgium', apparently.

"Belgium" is a rude word? Perhaps Old Andy, the forum's resident Belgian, can elucidate.

:P

No...he is what's keeping Texel from being reclaimed by the sea... :tongue:

I thought that was Stormrider. Who else can I upset... :laugh:

ahem.. :whistling:

<-- does that say Belgium?

I think he was just trying to annoy you, dear

*sigh* I'm disappointed in you people. Does no one get a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference any more?


Never mind, back on topic now.

Not going to happen as the forums are 13+.

Having been on the receiving end of pms that consist largely of "Censored you, you censored pile of stinking censored. Censored censored censored idiot nerd censored in your mother's censored basemant you censored censored censored." does not make me consider the sender to be mature and inteliigent. It usually ends up with a sigh, an :rolleyes: , and a logging in the admin/mod forum for future reference. Swearing doesn't make one seem articulate, well-spoken, or well-mannered.

Belgium.

Less offensive words have been created in the many languages of the galaxy, such as joojooflop, swut and Holy Zarquon's Singing Fish.

The use of bad language can have unforseen circumstances. One example is the war between the G'gugvunts and the Vl'hurgs, caused by a casual remark made by Arthur Dent being mistaken as a terrible insult.

Simultaneous Babel Fish translation also means that any being can be rude to any other being without the need for extensive explanations. This has also started many wars.

The reason the Earth has been shunned for so long is also due to a language problem. On Earth, Belgium refers to a small country. Throughout the rest of the galaxy, Belgium is the most unspeakably rude word there is.

Sorry falchya...right over my head, as I've never read it. I missed that somewhere along the line.

I do, however, remember Vic Reeves' cover of Ultravox's Vienna that celebrated such classic Belgian icons such as Van Morrison.

you're starting to sound like Dogsbody.. which is kinda cool.

creepy, but cool

I'm really not sure what to say in response to that!

I could say something about swearing in other languages.. :whistling:


..and then again I could also run like [censored] hell! :bolt:


:teehee: <-- for you sweetheart

:laugh:


So... For anyone wondering, yes, swearing in other languages also counts as censor avoidance.
