Certain people don't want to see certain words... that is why we have custom filtering. If we allow someone to type dvck instead of duck... it defeats the entire purpose. AND most importantly, it's an asshole thing to do.

Why is it an asshole thing? Because that poster is taking it upon themselves to FORCE someone else to see their words when that other person has gone to the trouble to use the system we have in place to avoid them.

That FORCING behavior is what pisses me off. It's inconsiderate and douchey.

If "bad words" bothered me I wouldn't allow them at all.. they don't bother me... but I have the decency to respect OTHER PEOPLE who may feel differently.

This concept isn't hard, you just have to think OUTSIDE your own sensibilities for a second and it should be clear why this bothers me.

TO ME, circumventing the filter is far worse than ANY petty personal attacks. If you are being attacked personally you have the option to ignore a user or man up and attack back.

So basically, that's a "no", Hootie. Furthermore, idiots who have been banned multiple times from this site don't really set policy, aren't asked to help determine policy, and will never be asked for their opinion. If you had any idea how to operate a successful community at all, there would be at least 43 regular users of TexansPlanet.com but instead, you gave it the old college try for at least 9 days and then you gave up. So let the smart people run this site and you just keep raping unconscious girls you managed to drag back to your apartment, predator.

I agree with everything in this post. 100%.

However, I will ask you about fatchatter, and ask why that didn't work?

I'm honestly just curious because I think you have the charisma and work ethic to run a great board.

as for the girls line, I don't think they've ever been unconscious...but who knows I guess?

Without this rule, we wouldn't have gotten to witness Dane banned for 7 days, 3 days, 1 day.

If you all think the word filters are bad on here, you should really try other boards.

OK.

Grammar has no correlation with intelligence. It is entirely based on repetition and active conscious attention to grammatical detail.

If big nasty actually paid attention to grammar, he could rattle off a perfect post every now and again.

Fatchatter worked fine. It lasted like 4-5 years. It had moderate traffic. There were still people posting on it when I shut it down last year and hadn't personally used it in 2 years.
