To Make Posts is Glorious

Some threads will get posts before others and it is the duty of the Leadership to ensure that posts are made that best suit the public welfare.

"heh"

I mean it's almost 2012 and dadt has been repealed for a year so I don't see why not. But as I'm typing this I'm really not sure so here we go.

edit: oh wow really? Lame. Change this please because people have been asking for literally years.

Oh and the word I'm talking about? Context clues folks.

Pretty sure the webteam has repeatedly acknowledged that the filter here is out of date. It's not that high on their "to-do" list though.

Well they should probably get on that! It can't be that hard, can it?

It's not the difficulty that's holding them back. It's the fact that they're probably working on much bigger and more important things than changing a text filter.

So then if it's so easy i'm sure they can fit it into their busy busy schedule. I'm not convinced you know what you're talking about, though!

Well, obviously I'm only speculating since I don't work there, but from answers I've seen employees give on the subject previously, I really don't think they are that worried about it.

Lol can we have more context clues?



Actually NVM why fight over the BLAM filter? does it really matter? If Bungie didn't think we could use that word at one point in time why is it ok now? Just because it's almost 2012?

Ok I got it. All I have to say is for real? Why should that be un censored? When would that come up in appropriate talk on the B-net forums? Well I edited my last post sooo... I'm marking you as "Troll" and leaving.

What? Why?

What's inappropriate about the word anyway?

There is no need for it on B-net. Simple.

I'm not trying to bash but I just read a guy's post who has been here for 7 years and thinks the Septagon talks about mostly irrelevant stuff and this I feel is one of those times. I love the Septagon when we get good topics and I'm sorry but the Filter isn't one of them. Like I said if Bungie thought it was inappropriate at one point what makes it not now?

  • 12.24.2011 1:53 AM PDT

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

By censoring the word, you're empowering it.

I've been here for almost as long. What does that have to do with it?

As for why it's not 'inappropriate' anymore, things have changed in the past decade. As I mentioned in the op, we have -blam!-s openly serving in the military now! I really don't think a forum about a video game has higher standards than the entire military of the united states of america.

And even then, why do you think this thread falls into the "irrelevant" category of septegon topics, esteemed poster "robyslobbynobby"? Why not call out the currently active thread about achronos in a santa costume? Surely that is more irrelevant.

As some one serving... yes they do it's created problems the outside hasn't seen. I'm saying it has no place here give me an example of a time it'll come up?

And one more thing it's funny cuz the more I argue this the more I'm glad you posted. I want you to know this is an intelligent conversation, not me spewing hate. lol


And on Achronos it's humorous people find it funny all you're looking for is an argument. Which I'm giving you. I'm not esteemed, I don't post much and when I do it doesn't get far.

So I'm sure a simple forum about a video game could handle just saying the word. Here's a secret: people who are -blam!- post in this forum all the time! It's true!!!!

Oh boy that terrible photoshop was just hilarious! And even then, you yourself posted that "irrelevant" or "wasteful" topics shouldn't be posted here. Is this a serious forum or not? Also, who are you to say that I'm simply looking for an argument? Don't try to devalue what I'm saying with words like that: it's an issue that bugs me and I'm posting about it.

Dude I don't care I'm happy for them, whatever makes them happy. Like I've said I'm not a hater. and as for you later half, I'm glad you posting this is the 1st thing I've been able to argue passionately. It's not the word, It's just trying to get past the filter. I think words like Slut, whore, and dick should be censored. There is no need for them, it's not just your' word.

So I just read over it and there is nothing inappropriate but it should never come up in context sooooo.... their is no need for it.

All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Yeah....
