How is censoring your own curse words considered bypassing the filter?

Shucks.

The OP bypassed the filter in the topic title. I guess he gets a week.
Is self-censoring like that really ban-able?


It is bypassing, and per the floods request, you will get banned for it.

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

I think it's because you are still implying a word that has been filtered out.

Because the word mine as well have been said... If I'm not mistaken the thread you're talking about had b**** written in it... Now, it doesn't take much of an imagination to figure out what word that is... Stop trying to cause an argument for the sake of an argument.

Not trying to argue, i'm looking for clarification.

I was, but your mom left early so I had to cut the trip short.

Well there's already the -blam!- feature so I don't see why the OP would need to self-censor.

  • 09.11.2011 1:26 PM PDT

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

At first his title said "sensual". The Flood then pressured him to bypass the profanity filter, which he did. At some point before being banned he changed it back.

A week ban does seem a little severe.

Edit: I thought that quote was from a different thread.

I'm sure you've heard about all "Recon is banned! What?!?!?" crap. It all has to do with him posting a legitimate thread in the Flood on a news article and for it to make sense he used an alt code to bypass the filter so it made sense to people. Someone, then "requested" that Recon be banned for breaking the rules.

However, I'm sure you already knew all of that... So, why are you asking?

Positive vibes.

You are still hinting at a curse word.

For example, I once got banned for typing the word 'shat,' because it is so close to the actual word.

Son of a -blam!-

^ you can still guess the word just as easily if I had placed the 2nd letter of the alphabet followed by four asterisks.

I think this is a classic case of a mod being a douche.

I didn't think Recon banned himself because he broke a rule. I think he banned himself to show the people complaining how silly they were.

cars, girls & cake all day everyday

I guess I see where the mods are going with that, but a week ban? Really not that big a deal. A warning is most fair.

-blam!- could mean litterally any of the words that are censored. But in context, it typically refers to one word or narrows it down to a few words.

Basically putting the letter and then **** to account for how many letters are left in the word refers to one specific word, and doesn't leave anything to the imagination. It's just that the word isn't spelled out.

he didn't use an alt code, he just used the popular internet slang term for the word.

This is a good point.


What if I wanted to make a post about t-blam!-? Or another word used to describe cutting facial hair with a trimmer? If I had bypassed the profanity filter to clarify what word I was saying, I don't think I should be banned for it, but of course, any douche bag mod could come and ban me for an otherwise innocent word.

I don't think someone should be banned for doing something like that. However, that is not what we are talking about right now...
