MaxPower	Posted - 2006.02.06 18:18:00 - [1] To the mods: If you look at a persons last posts, you can see swear words if they've written any in the first line of their posts. Just thought id bring it to your attention if no1 has before. Can i have a cookie? Or a bit of Sig hi-jacking for good measure? Me like PIE!!!1 -Capsicum
akram	Posted - 2006.02.06 18:38:00 - [2] Why is there a profanity filter in a forum for a game with no filter?

Baldour Ngarr	Posted - 2006.02.06 18:53:00 - [5] Originally by: akram Why is there a profanity filter in a forum for a game with no filter? CCP's attempt to save the mods some work. Of course, like all automated profanity filters, it's an absolute joke. It bans things it shouldn't do, and can't possibly keep up with people's ingenious idiocy at bypassing it. ________________________________________________ "I tried strip mining, but I lost, and it's cold flying around in space naked."
Wanoah	Posted - 2006.02.06 21:30:00 - [6] Yeah, there are one or two pretty commonplace words that are filtered and most definitely shouldn't be. For that reason alone, I'm quite glad you can quote a post to see what it says behind the arbitrary asinine asterisks of annhilation. (Sorry, just had an urge to alliterate to a stupid degree. Won't happen again). Wing Commander ** Darlington *ed his head against the*pit coaming as he leapt enthusiastically into his waiting fighter. "** me that hurt!" he ejaculated angrily.

Edit: Wait! Time for a test. cockpit "cockpit" Edit again: Hmm.. thats interesting, it somehow managed to be all clever like that as soon as I made my post complaining about that particular problem.. OMFG I must be.. uber or something WOOOOo (I can't get into EVE atm so I'm having to spam the forums --- --- YARRR!!1111 - Imaran Imaran is a n00b - Wrangler Wrangler suxx0rz... ner ner ner ner - Imaran

Therefore, we need cAKe, and a lot of it, so we can use the forums more easily..

CCP's attempt to save the mods some work. Of course, like all automated profanity filters, it's an absolute joke. It bans things it shouldn't do, and can't possibly keep up with people's ingenious idiocy at bypassing it. It's always socially acceptable to bag on profanity. We attempt to attack those who use profanity, belittle them as if to suggest they lack sophistication. The problem is, due to the multitude of meaning a profane word has, it follows that it's use and application does often shorten up sophisticated ideas. Profane words are best used with strong emotion, which, no other words will suffice in either definition, connotation or description of depth of emotional distress. "It seems I have sustained a laceration of considerable depth. The pain is quite severe." Any person who says that, isn't really in pain. And of all the long words and number of words period, all of that can be applicably represented and effectively accurate with one sharp loud profane word. Growing up, a highschool friend of mine opened up my eyes to the reality of profanity's use. He ALWAYS used profane words. It turns out, that he did becuase he could afford too and he did so out of protest of the mass of others who attempted to label him as unsophisticated when they themselves had absolutely no respectable vocabulary of their own. To this day, I have yet to meet any person with the amount of vocabulary as this guy had. As soon as they would start to insult him on account of his profanity, he would break out with all the words sending the most profound of authors and poets to the dictionary. And of all the things that most annoyed me about the person, one of the most interesting philosophies of language was given to me by him. Language is not technical, it's an art.

Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.02.06 22:12:00 - [16] Edited by: Nikolai Nuvolari on 06/02/2006 22:17:23 cock *** As you can see, "cock" is filtered if you have a space before it, but NOT filtered if there is no space before it. This is incredibly weird, to say the least. Anyway, I find the very idea of profanity filters to be terrible. The fact that the EVE filter is so WEIRD makes it worse...I mean "*" is censored but "cock" isn't, "" is censored but "crap" isn't, "*", "**", and "****" are censored (Huh???) and so on and so forth. -------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Scalor Valentis	Posted - 2006.02.06 22:25:00 - [19] Edited by: Scalor Valentis on 06/02/2006 22:26:19 i think this is typical ccp sloopiness, not only they allow they moderators run araund and give warning/"exiles" to everyone who say latin word for butthole, but also making half arsed profinaty filtter. more weird is, that none of the warning ever go away, so its only a matter of time before you get "exiled" Clear guidlines for mods 4tw, eh? if you kill mods alt, dont post on forums.
Elve Sorrow	Posted - 2006.02.06 22:26:00 - [20] Yea, so on the subject of filters, allow more characters in my sig plz OMG TEH PINK!1 - Imaran LOOK MA, IM BIGGER THEN THE EVIL MOD!!1

The mods give warnings/bans (yes, you can say the word ban), whereas CCP makes the filter. The mods and CCP are two seperate things. Originally by: Scalor Valentis more weird is, that none of the warning ever go away, so its only a matter of time before you get "exiled" We had a damned long thread on this. Go read it.

Hard to believe someone can be that well educated and STILL be stupid and juvenile enough to think that swearing is cool. ________________________________________________ "I tried strip mining, but I lost, and it's cold flying around in space naked."
Scalor Valentis	Posted - 2006.02.06 22:29:00 - [23] and whats even more annoying is, if any of CCP staff makes a misstake, theye rather die than ask apolagy and admit theye were wrong. This kind of attitude tends to have "what goeas araund, comes araund" effekt. Keep misstreating peoples, right way to go! SOE allredy showwed good example!

eLLioTT wave	Posted - 2006.02.06 23:12:00 - [26] good point, why dont we have an optional filter for in game chat? Some of us just don't like reading rubbish. Please CCP? (note i said optional - so all of you who do not understand the english language can still use your bad vocabulary)
