There is a way to break the profanity filter. If you put a certain key before a swear or any word that is blocked by the filter, the word will show. It happened in a post I made in the Flood.

Alright, I took the example out of this post and the post I made before. Sorry everybody.

You are all loved beyond measure.
I, like you, am a light-sound-vibration complex that resonates with others. I have hopes and dreams and ambitions, just like you! I AM, and so are you! Yes, we are one and the same, you and I.

This definitely wasn't better-suited for a PM.

Dude, Pimps at Sea is like Halo, going 30 knots in a harbour, being chased by clippers and Man-o-war. And the Man-o-war are firing.

An interesting find. How about you apologise before you get banned, though, and try NOT showing the method to EVERYONE in the known universe.

I can't PM, I never get a response and I actually wonder if anybody takes the time to read my PM's

It doesn't take long to figure out why they don't.

What do you think they do when they see a message sent by "Spammer"?

I hate how people never take me seriously because my name is Spammer. This is quite the serious issue, and I would REALLY like it if it were resolved QUICKLY.

Your right, we do have a problem but theirs not much that can be done, using your keyboard you can make letters , but the computer doesnt read them as letters so their not blocked, somebody already used this to name a group F*** You (guess what letters the stars were) Though it was taken care of, ill admit that this is a large problem, with not many solutions

Seems a good time to point out that dodging the profanity filter is a warnable/bannable offence :). Its not often people go out of their way to dodge the profanity filter, and when they do, a ninja will probably end up banning them. in the face.

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

2B || !2B - Why don't you look Inside the Machine?

This is how I see it:

The profanity blocker on here is to really cover only the basics. You've got your words in question and you have the method to block them. When people start changing vowels to look different but to still give it an appearance of the word, well, your method doesn't work anymore. The problem is that any method can't cover every situation. That is why you try your hardest to block as many words/phrases and then you weed out the rest. You can never fully cover the adaptability of speech and how people will try their hardest to cuss or say what they feel they have a right to say.

That is why for the people who take extra hard care in trying to cuss get a serious punishment. If you don't obey the rules and/or try to circumvent the rules then you'll end up in a deal of trouble. Perhaps a 7-day blacklist, maybe a 1 month blacklist, or even a perma-ban. The theme is: Don't go out of your way to break the rules, if you can't do it then don't try to intentionally do it.

The better solution to this problem is: Don't swear/cuss/use intolerable language on this forum board. Swearing/Cussing/Intolerable language isn't a good thing to practice in the first place, but, if you want to use it then do it elsewhere. Bungie.net should be considered a "family zone." You don't want to use language that could offend or hurt someone here because children do come here because Bungie is an immortal tower of joy and bliss, plus Halo.

Do good to others, for others. Actually, better put, Play Nice.

Edit: For clarity I came off a bit harsh, it isn't my intention. I'm just trying to give an opinion.

The End

‘The conscious is cancerous if allowed to linger’

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

Fake Letters - I decided not to post them :-p
Real Letters - ieaocypjsx

If you try using the fake letters to generate a swear word the blam filter will not pick it up. I am not going to tell you where I got these letters from but I think tequniques such as these are a serious prolblem. If anyone uses these tequniques I think they should be perma-banned because it is an unexceptable thing to try to find ways of getting around rules.

Now i know I have just given a way of getting around the blam filter so if anyone is stupid enough to actually put my theories into practice prepare to feel the banhammers wrath.

Don't be foolish. The profanity filter only is meant to catch the most basic stuff. People attempting to bypass the profanity fiilter get banned. Not that hard, and it isn't a "serious" problem. A "serious"problem is a site crash or a security issue. This is people finding a way to post naughty words. Its not like you haven't heard them before.
