Taikun Gallente Serenity Prime Praesidium Libertatis	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:43:00 - [1] Edited by: Taikun on 15/09/2007 11:47:06 It seems that G O O K is a banned word. Why? According to Princeton University it is deemed: "any thick, viscous matter" Whwn I refered to ISK sellers as 'clogging up the Blueprints channel' with the G O O K like spam I was censored for 3 hours. For shame CCP. I pay to talk... those G O O K s do not. Taikun ----------------------------------- For lack of a better word ladies and gentlemen... Greed is good.
Svavz Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:49:00 - [2] Avoiding the forum filter is bad mmkay?
Taikun Gallente Serenity Prime Praesidium Libertatis	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:53:00 - [3] Edited by: Taikun on 15/09/2007 11:56:29 Originally by: Svavz Avoiding the forum filter is bad mmkay? I'll never avoid the "filter" for offensive words. However the word in context is perfectly acceptable. Some what like Sa***uard which is censored... but it aqctually reads S A F E G U A R D. How offensive is that? Taikun ----------------------------------- For lack of a better word ladies and gentlemen... Greed is good.
Rydia Davenport Caldari Claflin Industries	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:53:00 - [4] I agree those ISK sellers in the blueprints channel make me want to do evil evil things. Perhaps gunk, crud, or goo would have been a better fit?
Yao Shiu	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:55:00 - [5] as far as I know, the word you're referring to is a racial slur. google it for crying out loud! look at the first entry. "(U.S. military slang) an Asian person, especially an enemy (e.g. Koreans or Vietnamese during the Korean and Vietnam wars). By extension, any Asian person. Derived from the Korean words ôhangukö and ômigukö. Guk is from the Chinese, Guo, Kingdom or Country."
Menkaure Amarr Vanitas Corp.	Posted - 2007.09.15 11:59:00 - [6] Hiiighly offensive, and most people will see it as such no matter which definition you mean. Especially seeing as 95% of people only know it as the racial slur.

Do not condemn me for having an adequate education unlike those that censored me who failed to understand the ethic qualities of educational standards!

Menkaure Amarr Vanitas Corp.	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:04:00 - [9] Originally by: Taikun Originally by: Menkaure Hiiighly offensive, and most people will see it as such no matter which definition you mean. Especially seeing as 95% of people only know it as the racial slur. Count me in the 5% who deem it otherwise and respect my linguistic freedom. Taikun No linguistic freedom when using words that offend 95% of people. I could call you a ***** of a **stick, consider it a compliment - but CCP and most of the people on these forums would consider what I said an insult, and treat it as such. (and censor it, in the case of CCP). CCP will stick with the majority, your little 5% plainly isn't that.
Yao Shiu	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:06:00 - [10] you have to take into account that the majority of people would see it as a racial slur, which is why it's censored. there are plenty of other words that you could use instead. like goo or slime or any of the others listed in the link you gave. you're just bored and asking for trouble really.

I'll count you among the the ISK sellers. Taikun Moving from intelligent argument to petty insults? I thought you were supposed to be the smart one, apparently? Stop picking a fight. (and I don't sell ISK, for reference. Never have.)

Taikun Gallente Serenity Prime Praesidium Libertatis	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:10:00 - [14] Originally by: Menkaure (and I don't sell ISK, for reference. Never have.) Never said you did.

Wardog 1 Infinitus Odium The Church.	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:19:00 - [20] Edited by: Wardog 1 on 15/09/2007 12:23:05 Strange, is it not, that your own Princeton University defines "**" by a second definition. "**, slant-eye ((slang) a disparaging term for an Asian person (especially for North Vietnamese soldiers in the Vietnam War))" The word isn't offensive if for example you are talking about a sample of bitumen. Say it to a person however, and by your own institutions' definition it is offensive.
Theo Samaritan Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:19:00 - [21] Originally by: Taikun Edited by: Taikun on 15/09/2007 12:16:39 Originally by: Anson Halleck Edited by: Anson Halleck on 15/09/2007 12:09:58 http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=** replace with your word to see the definition Hmmmmm lets see a highly expensive education at Princeton University versus an online 'open for all' dictionary. I know where my educational standard reside. And I also know where yours do as well. Let me just add... unpopular does not mean wrong. Taikun Then use wikipedia, the site that many univeristies actually encorage their students to use in research (with caution mind you). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/#G replace the ** with your word. Oh look, you get an article on ethnic slurs. Big surprise there. PHAIL again, you're good at this. ______________________________ A Request About Lag Discussion -- Yet another "Edit my sig devs!" request \o/
Xanath Fireheart Under Heavy Fire	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:20:00 - [22] I don't think the standard of your education really comes into it. If you really are that well educated, then surely you should have also been aware that the word you chose to use is also, and more commonly, used as racial slur. You could just have easily used many other words that mean the same thing.
Banana Torres The Green Banana Corporation	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:22:00 - [23] Originally by: Taikun (with a slight edit by Banana Torres) It seems that G O O K is a banned word. Why? According to Princeton University it is deemed: "S: (n) ****, slant-eye ((slang) a disparaging term for an Asian person (especially for North Vietnamese soldiers in the Vietnam War)) " Whwn I refered to ISK sellers as 'clogging up the Blueprints channel' with the G O O K like spam I was censored for 3 hours. For shame CCP. I pay to talk in public... those G O O Ks do not. Taikun Yeah, well, how did you know that the sellers were North Vietnamese soldiers? Seems offensive to me, you deserved your ban.
Frug Zenithal Harvest 101010 Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:23:00 - [24] what a pointless argument... - - - - - - - - - Do not use dotted lines - - - - - - - If you think I'm awesome, say BOOO BOOO!! - Ductoris Neat look what I found - Kreul Hey, my marbles
Mona Lou Essence Research Essence Enterprises	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:25:00 - [25] Originally by: Taikun Edited by: Taikun on 15/09/2007 12:16:39 Originally by: Anson Halleck Edited by: Anson Halleck on 15/09/2007 12:09:58 http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=** replace ** with your word to see the definition Hmmmmm lets see a highly expensive education at Princeton University versus an online 'open for all' dictionary. I know where my educational standard reside. And I also know where yours do as well. Let me just add... unpopular does not mean wrong. Taikun Well since I know you from Market forum, I know you are just trolling as usually, but anyway.... if you are looking for SLANG meaning, then university dictionary isn't best place to look.
Taikun Gallente Serenity Prime Praesidium Libertatis	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:28:00 - [26] Again I must state... who of us are to decide under what context I was using the reference? was I referring to North Korean soldiers during the Korean war? Or North Vietnamese fighters? Hardly seem the place to conduct such commentary. Seem out of context for long resolved conflicts. Or was I referring to the 'clogging' of channels with spam. What seems most likely? You decide yourself. I know for certain. Taikun ----------------------------------- For lack of a better word ladies and gentlemen... Greed is good.
Kulande Luke	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:30:00 - [27] OK Taikun. So if I call you a tosser, I am of course referring to the fact I think you like tossing pancakes.
Taikun Gallente Serenity Prime Praesidium Libertatis	Posted - 2007.09.15 12:32:00 - [28] Edited by: Taikun on 15/09/2007 12:33:51 Edited by: Taikun on 15/09/2007 12:33:26 Originally by: Kulande Luke OK Taikun. So if I call you a tosser, I am of course referring to the fact I think you like tossing pancakes. Many would agree but still call you a G O O K for clogging up this thread with insults. Thats the magic of the english language. Obviouly CCP has trouble with it. Perhaps they should buy a book or take a course.

What seems most likely? You decide yourself. I know for certain. Taikun The point we are making, yet you seem to either deny to listen or decided now'sa good time to insult us, is that just because you ment it in one way, the word can be taken as offence and as such that is why it is filtered. No argument about that, yet somehow this topic has decended into one, primarily because you are essentially insulting our intelligence. And ok, so I dont have a univeristy degree in english, but even I know common sense. ______________________________ A Request About Lag Discussion -- Yet another "Edit my sig devs!" request \o/
