Subject: You can [not] bypass the profanity filter.

The world is not beautiful: And that, in a way, lends it a sort of beauty.

~Kino's Journey

A while back i discovered in a private group that you can bypass the profanity filter by surrounding said profanity with a certain type of bracket, now if we're not allowed to use profanity then why do we have the option to bypass it?

Cause not every method was recorded I guess? There's always a back door.

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

That's not the only way to bypass it. And it's obviously not an intentional feature or anything. So it's not an "option", it's a cheat.

The filter can't catch everything. Even if it did, people can insert an additional letter into a word, link to an image, put periods between letters....

It's not worth it in my opinion - plus, there's a trade-off, because catching more instances of the word makes it more likely to get regular words caught in the crossfire. Honestly, if a user is bypassing the filter, it's easy enough to catch and all the more banworthy.

Swearing is impolite and vulgar!

It's obviously not in the system on purpose. Thinking it is is just silly.

That's what makes this method most unusual, it doesn't need any word breaking or use of alt codes, it's seems exactly like something the filter would catch considering it catches the words if you don't bracket them.

If I had to guess, it has to do with the fact that the site also parses through text to format BBCode.

Do not bypass the profanity filter.

It's a test. The Soul will let you know if you pass.

I am kind of interested in testing this out... TOO THE PRIVATE GROUP FORUMS

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

I usually just mispell the said word if it's necessary for conversation, or use 1337 speak to get around it. Never in a distasteful manner though.

*scratches nuts*

Brackets are horrendously ugly, I prefer the other way

The bracket method works because if you have a link which has profanity in it, the link would be blammed out.

The other method works because you're basically adding a character in the middle of the profanity.

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

I tweet?

Isn't that like asking: "if we're not allowed to speed then why do we have cars that are capable exceeding the speed limit"?

Anyway, I'm all for removing the speed limit (profanity filter) as long as reckless driving (posting) is still punished. Ban excessive usage and hostile intent, not the words themselves. Or something.

The End.

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

Well its a loophole. If you do it, you get banned. For example, there is many things in this world that are here that can't be used in threat of being imprisoned or banned. Like the blackmarket, it's there, but you don't use it.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

IT's really no big deal. How many people do you see using them anyway outside of private groups??
