Rather tragic bunch of replies to why ‘Bit*ch’ gets past the swear filter.
Shocking as it may be, there are people who find the word disgusting when used to degrade woman.
So STWs views is that it isn’t that important? half the population (and a bit more) could be put off from joining a forum, paying for membership of buying a magazine because they see posts where the term is used to degrade women shakes head
So all this having women in the magazines, women writers photographers. Not being like all the other knuckle dragging 70’s mentality other cycling magazines and forums have when it comes to women is just for show!?
I can’t agree with having to moderate peoples posts myself becuase some silly folk want to use the term to slate women.
Rather disappointed with this as STW mods and members go to great lengths in defending religions, and minority’s against the haters that just post to hate.
I can’t condone the actions that STW chooses to take as to what it blocks in it’s filters and i will miss the Singletrack Magazine and Grit.CX as i love the story’s (love Grit.CX more) but it would be like slating Donald Trump for his views then booking a stay in a Trump hotel.
STW and Grit.CX can keep my payments, just don’t send me anymore magazines and cancel my membership.
Thank you
