A toggle... hmm...
Let me try to think this out.
I think this website does the "processing" of the post when it's submitted to a thread. This way, when posts are submitted you only have to manipulate the text once.
If you simply stored the text raw as you see it in the textbox before submission, then you would have to filter out the -blam!- text every time the page is requested. With a lot of unique visitors making lots of these requests, I can imagine that cutting down unnecessary processing like this would help with speed.
However, if Achronos does it the way I expect (process the post once) then I cannot imagine how to implement a toggle.
I'm pretty bad with computer speak so could you kindly explain simpler please..
Also, how about, whenever you login, it asks you whether or not you want to have swear words visible or blamd?
Simply what they said was as the site currently is, when you submit a post it runs through the filter and blams out certain words, then the new post with blocked out words is then posted onto the forum, simple. If there is a filter this means that every time someone went on a page the website would have to check every post and either load the page as normal or block out certain words, with the ammount of people using this website it means a lot more work for the servers which could result in problems.
