Re: Wait! Now There's Too Much Filtering!
Just wondering how the progress is with ending the FCC-style reign of terror on this forum.
Any updates, unpaid administrator?

Re: Wait! Now There's Too Much Filtering!
Sometimes Profanity is necessary but in another sense it can get excessive easily and turn a forum into trash, but in the past it seems I saw little profanity, with words such as crap etc... more common.
huh, I wonder if I type smurf if it will read out smurf.
and by context you know what the second (smurf that shows up was originally typed as)
[MA]PBG4-Ghost Recon Division
Disclamer- Not responcible for anything typed after 12:00 in the morning.
Yeah my spelling sometimes really does suck.

Nope. Even in your examples, they always go the same way the nose is pointing. ; )

If you don't want your kids to read bad words don't teach them to read.

Re: Wait! Now There's Too Much Filtering!
I had no idea the direction of the hat had anything to do with the nose... I'll play with it later. (And then I'll fix the smilie.)

No, because "smurf" can be used in place of any verb. To use it in place of a noun is just improper grammar.

Re: Wait! Now There's Too Much Filtering!
"Smurfhead" isn't racist. Saying, "I hate smurfs," is.
See the difference?

Re: Wait! Now There's Too Much Filtering!
Now I'm kinda having fun with this. I just used the "b" word knowing it would come up "smurfette" and it worked in a (somewhat hopefully) comic way.
It's like the opposite of Filter Dodging.
