[Closed] Has the swear filter been removed?

I think if it's not actively filtered out then it's ok to use it.

starring letters out etc may be seen as taking the piss though.

Bum

****

Ah well, that was always going to be off the menu.

Edit - yes, looks like it's been removed

I don't understand. It's ok to say eff you see kay, but not eff star star kay? (Nearly had an In the Loop moment then!)

Week's ban for the OP.

See you next Tuesday then.

No, it's ok to say **** off you ****, but not ok to star it yourself

Boring fact: it took me ages to work out why there's an rem track called star me kitten, and was one of the more uncomfortable conversations I've had with my dad!!

It's just been relaxed. It's a bit shit now really.

I got banned for typing pi55 once even though you can type piss
Therfore just type what you want and blame the filter if it goes tits up

HTH

This thread is like sitting on the back of the school bus with the "cool" kids and not getting caught by the teachers innit

I got a warning email a week or so back for posting a word with one letter replaced with a punctuation mark. It's kind of bizarre that midweek mini movies can feature guys with their bottoms on display but we cannot use naughty words.

Maybe the mods like viewing bottoms more than talking with them? 😉

Modding seems very erratic, 95% of the time it gets ignored, then randomly you get an email threatening you with a ban. Personally I don't see what is wrong with using ***s to blank out swear words.

Belgium.

If you're expecting consistency from the modz, it's been explained plenty of times by themselves why there isn't any.

[i]Modding seems very erratic, 95% of the time it gets ignored[/i]

It's reactive.

I guess if you upset someone and they report you then the ban hammer falls or, alternatively, a mod happens to come across what you've posted by chance and takes action.

I got told off for swearing, even though every naughty word was caught by the swear filter and starred out.

S****horpe.

Its strange that you can describe your dick/cock and bollocks but not actually what you can do with them when you get them near a ****.

@gofaster - I think you may be onto something 🙂

What amused me is I posted to a thread about the merits or otherwise of friends with benefits !

Just for the record I'd like to express my gratitude for the work done by the moderators ... no really I would

a mod happens to come across what you've posted

I know they enjoy their work, and the ability to get their red pens out can get them overexcited, but that's a bit too far....

Crevice...........now that's a DIRTY word! 😆

You'll be able to say what you want for a bit now as they're all playing GTA 5

****ing flange

Therfore just type what you want and blame the filter if it goes tits up

Always my logic, although I do often find it odd that this:

It's a bit shit now really.

Is acceptable, and has been for a while now!

Thanks CFH I'd forgotten how funny Flight of the Concords were.

Cockermouth

I have also noticed occasions when the language of certain mods has been very sweary. Who mods the mods?

da mod dem, mod dem-selves

Presumably we should to complete the circle.

What about swearing in foreign languages?

This is turning into a thread of "rude place name bingo".

Boring fact: it took me ages to work out why there's an rem track called star me kitten, and was one of the more uncomfortable conversations I've had with my dad!!

It's taken me five minutes now Emsz and I still don't get it so I'm swallowing my pride - what's rude about it?

Can it not also be written as "starstarstarstar me, Kitten"?

Conyo. Probably my favorite ever word

+ 1

Anything I can think of seems tenuous at best.

Got a weeks ban for using a word that even Microsoft include in their "suggested words" on Windows Phone 8.

Bunch of jaylords I tells ya.

If you type the acronym for "i'm not reading all that sheeeeyat" then the swear filter changes it to

" I struggle with long sentences " [edit, yes it still does]

I think "what tyres" used to be filtered on the old forum too.

Whale
Oil
Beef
Hooked

+1 Still don't get 'star me kitten' tho

The lyric is ( rude 4 letter word beginning with F, please cougar don't ban me) me kitten

It's about ending a relationship but still being a bit, y'know, in lust with the other person. It was starred out on the cover because of some ban on rude words in America. On the track listing its written as Star Me Kitten, but in the song they use the proper word.

Said it was dull didn't I 😆

Flaps

EDIT: Phew

its amazing what words are baned though - one for the mods who can see the matrix 😉

There's a 'Professional Northener' filter too!

If you type the word s u m m a t it replaces it with 'something'.

I'll go to t'foot of our stairs. 😀

Is TT still banned?

[edit] clearly not

Bleeding obvious, innit.

Innit. Nothing will dissuade nutbags from emailing long winded diatribes more, than publicising them.

That's what I thought. Very tantalising.

didn't even know someone had been banned until I saw the tweet.

Yes, for the non-twitterati.. we miss out on this gossip. Someone repost? Was it Edukator?

[i] Was it Edukator? [/i]

he didn't say.

Looks like the pseudo intellectual wasn't outed.

Twitter, the ultimate ego stroke-off?

Glupton got a ban yesterday and Edukator has troll instead of member next to his name.

Mudguard banee is

Have a look at his post here close to the bottom of the page.

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:QfLBYeqV9JMJ:singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/show-me-your-bikes-that-you-think-look-good-with-mudguards-on+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk

Daft isn't it. It was the most obvious astroturf ever.
If he'd have just written:
"We think ours look pretty good, but then I would wouldn't I, being the company director. What makes ours different.... etc"
He would have probably got just as many hits without sounding like a complete fool.

tbh - his mudguards mount in a pretty good place, but for me to buy, they would have to have been quick release (even just rubber bands like crudcatchers/magicshine lights). I'm not messing about with zip ties every time and I'm not the kind to leave mudguards on for 6 months of the year.

I'm assuming the trolling zoo fighter got banned for [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/colorado-flooding#post-5342868 ]this[/url]

Mark then comments a couple of posts later.

I take it enough people complained to tip the scales?

[i]Edukator has troll instead of member next to his name[/i]

I like that 🙂

[edit] although I see he's retaliated by linking his user name to singetrackworld which appears to offer dating services for single people.

I like that

All a bit Scarlet Letter though, isn't it? *

* is proud of this intellectual comparison *

The thing with brucegardiner is that somebody just did a whois search and found that Bruce Gardiner is the owner and actually mentioned it on the thread. He had the opportunity to come clean and possibly not look like a tit but didn't. Even Fruit was more subtle than this.

I_Ache - he did eventually (in his 3rd post iirc).
Tried to say 'of course I'm the director' to backtrack.
Daft

I must have missed that.

Did he apologise for trying to deliberately mislead people or did he just not care?

FWIW I think the rear guard looks like quite a good idea. Its basically an extension of the one Specialized made in 05/06 for the Enduro and Stumpy to protect the shock.
