Subject: Can we get Censored this words?

The bible is the best book Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM A PROUD CHRISTIAN. HALO IS AWESOME BUT GOD IS MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!
Did you knew that JESUSdied for you?

I just would like to propose spam words to be censored just like cursing is.

1.-Tl:DR and all it's variations ( tl;dr , tldr, Tl;dr etc)
2.-CoolStorybro and all it's variations
3.- u mad bro and all it's variations.
4.- no u and inb4
5.-other memes that only serve as spam



This could certainly at least discoruage spammers from their pointless posts. The problem is that they are way too easy to post.

If they get a blam! some spammers wouldn't even bother anymore while the spammers that do would lose time trying to bypass the filter, this could controll this verbal tics a bit.

It is already useful agaisnt cursing, why not using it against spam too?.

Next you'll want to start burning books. . .

Sorry, I'm sensitive when the word "censor" is used. Perhaps, "blocked" would be a better descriptor. Then yes, I agree with you.

well if a thread is full of those memes, then it would be seen as spam..so it'd get locked anyway.

if a thread is not overly obnoxious, then why would it bother you?

  • 08.22.2011 4:35 PM PDT

Stop banning me please.

There is more but I can't think of any


But yeah I totally agree wiwth you

what?? by one person whos on topic, sayin a less than three word meme in a thread??

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I know, we should also ban anyone who makes a joke or trys to do anything fun.

Becuase they are being used as spam and trolling that's why. They are laready agaisnt the rules. This proposal s only a tool to better help enforce siad rules.


I need to hear a better argument to justify spam besides "for the lulz"

Well if I use LOL and inb4 BY THEMSELVES, it is spam.

If I have more than that to my post, it contributes to the conversation and isn't spam.

Key

1. I use "TL;DR" in my OP's when writing a section that summarizes a long post that people very well my not want to read. Should I be censored? No.

2. That's stupid. why would you censor Cool Story Bro? Its just a joke and hardly trolling and if it is its just playful trolling. No harm is done.

3. Censoring u mad bro is equally as stupid as cool story bro for the reasons listed about.

4. no u can't be censored because it can be used in a sentence totally independent of a post consisting of simply "no u".

OP: What do you guys have a 50 in Halo 3?

Poster 1: I have a 50 in Swat.

Poster 2: No u don't. That's a 49.

Poster 1: Oh, silly me. i forgot. Thanks for that. Gee, its a good thing you didn't get censored for that post. That would have been annoying and made me confused as to why you said a curse word and then the rest of the sentence. i would have thought you were being hostile and then replied with equal hostility and there would have been a big fight over nothing.

Poster 2: I agree. This is a nice conversation now that neither of us look like we are using curse words. Let's exchange gamertags and play Halo: Reach together on weekends.

Poster 1: Awesome idea, friend!

5. Censoring is for curse words and other words that don't belong in civilized conversation (like those group of fellows Mr. Adolf hung out with). Not memes.

Agreed. obviously moderation and dicipline are key

Not to mention there are hundreds of variations of a single phrase- you cannot possibly block them all.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

I'm just going to say it, grow a spine. This is the internet, memes are part of the culture. To out right sensor them isn't going to fix the "problem". Other memes will replace the old and there are many variations of some of them, especially "cool story bro". Are you suggest that we filter all of them? Perhaps you're suggesting burdening someone on the webdev team with constantly researching and updating the filter?

Honestly, it's not that bad if the occasional person uses a meme in response to a thread. And in the event that a thread is full of them it will be locked and bans issued for spam.

That being said, I'm still holding out to see what Achronos has in store for this site. Maybe now that Bungie's between games he concentrate on his idea for users to have the power to view only the content they want. Then people will have little to blame aside from themselves.

also,dnt forget that 'noob' used to be banned as a word, but they realised that if u ban a word, people will just use ways to get around it.

its best let the fads die out rather than try and prohibit them.
