Edited by: Kara Mitsui on 01/11/2008 13:21:32 This is from the rules thread of MyEVE
Originally by: MyEVE Rules # Text - Text may not contain profanity, you may not even use partially masked profanity. However, you may use fully masked profanity in the same way as it is used on the forums. For example, f*ck and **** is not allowed, **** is. You can also replace profanity using comic style symbols, like ñ#%%&&.
to clarify
Originally by: MyEVE Rules **** is not allowed, **** is.
Yeh im confused. (I couldn't actually see the words its covering as thread is locked, so no quoting :P)

Profanity filters actually perform the OPPOSITE of what they are intended to do when they block out partials from larger words by causing the reader to have to figure out what "dirty" word the stars are blocking in order to guess at the larger word.
Example: I read books by Emily ****enson
or: I like ****aki mushrooms

I've come to the conclusion that anyone who thinks profanity filters like this uses christian filtered internets.
I don't mean that in a good way. ___ I cannot be held responsible for the above post, because apparently,my cat has learned to type. :3 |

Edited by: Leviathan9 on 01/11/2008 15:40:29 Yeah the filter is a little bit too strict tbh... Some words get half filtered cos they have some sort of swear word in them.. Can't remember which. ----------------------------

I just find profanity filters ridiculous in their own right.
Are you telling me you can't figure out what **** means? I mean....there are only so many swears, it ain't that hard. And as most of us are adults (though, some claims are queastionable), if you're offended by a WORD something is seriously wrong in your life. - - - Aloriana Jacques - Skill Sheet

I believe the true hilarity on here anyway is that anytime anyone swears, you can just quote their post and just read what they said; this seems to make the filter somewhat meaningless for anyone intending to post

You guys DO know that you can click on qoute of a reply that has profanity and see it uncovered, right?
That said yeah I agree, the forums are a bit too much mother hen driven. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

This thread got de-railed my point was... In a rule thread it says **** is allowed, but **** isn't, But since the thread is locked you can't quote to see the words :P

They should just have a big sign when you first logon to the forums saying "Warning, this forum may have the words ****, **** and bum in them. Press the ok button to carry on.

It does'nt really make any sense, since you're supposed to be of certain age to play this game and kids who are'nt playing it have no reason to browse these forums.
Anyone that gets offended by some profanity on a internet forum? Well you're clearly playing the wrong game then. ---

profanity filters are obsolite in these times. There is no legal need for them either. Would be nice if there was a setting to turn it off too. If someone throws them at you most people have thick enough internet skin to ignore it, or just report the person.

Edited by: mentalmonkey on 01/11/2008 18:15:21 I have to admit I was a little amused when I read a post describing Quafe as a grape flavoured drink. A once clean, legitimate word had been turned into a cryptic profanity and the source of an adolescent giggle.
[EDIT] Oh that has been fixed since, 'grape' well you can guess which part was filtered
To profanity filters, the source of countless edits. Seriously I think most of us are mature enough to warrant the removal of the profanity filter. Threaten to nerf our internet spaceships and we'll go mental, but I think we can handle remarks regarding our mothers sexual exploits.

Ugh, reminds me of old-school UO. Several items in the game were censored by default unless you turned off the profanity filter, like a "cutlass," which would come up as "cutl***"
I think if you're over 18 (which is in the EULA if I recall correctly), you're old enough to look past some offensive words for the sake of readability.

Quote: And, uh, bastard you can say, and hell and damn so I have to figure out which ones you couldn't and ever and it came down to seven but the list is open to amendment, and in fact, has been changed, uh, by now, ha, a lot of people pointed things out to me, and I noticed some myself. The original seven words were, ****, ****, ****, ****, ****sucker, mother****er, and ****. Those are the ones that will curve your spine, grow hair on your hands and (laughter) maybe, even bring us, God help us, peace without honor (laughter) um, and a bourbon. (laughter) And now the first thing that we noticed was that word **** was really repeated in there because the word mother****er is a compound word and it's another form of the word ****. (laughter) You want to be a purist it doesn't really-it can't be on the list of basic words. Also, ****sucker is a compound word and neither half of that is really dirty.
