ChiefsPlanet Can we get rid of the filter evasion ban? - Page 9

Hootie · 04-04-2013, 12:55 PM

A quick history of this ban:

It was put in place after GoChiefs (Wonton Prejiduce) was banned for no reason by Phobia and back then they needed a reason to justify a ban to the unruly masses of ChiefsPlanet so they came up with this idea that Kyle (AustinChief) spent way too much time putting these filters in place and it offended him when people circumvented them so they were always supposed to be automatic bans they were just never inforced.

Instead of making up fake reasons to ban people, can we just call it like it is and say:

"Claythan was banned because Phil doesn't like him. Pretty simple. He's a mod, and Clay isn't. Burn in an AIDS coma bundle of sticks!"

from now on?

because Duncan_idaho, a harmless productive board member who has never said anything negative in his life and has never broken a single rule until just now circumvented a filter in the Royals game thread and I'd hate to see him banned for 3 days for breaking such a sacred rule.

So lets just do away with this fake rule that makes no sense for this AIDS TREE ANTI-FREEZE RAPING reerun BREEDER of a board and just ban people for no reason like I'm about to be banned for this thread.

Deal?

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.

There's custom filtering? Tell me how to get there and how to use it. I no longer want to see curse words or profanities as I am getting back to how I used to be. Straight edge.

It's silly to ban people JUST for a filter evasion, but people who do it over and over and over again get what's coming to them. Mods get tired of editing people's posts for them.

exactly. The way I see it. if you keep doing it after warnings and such, you are being banned for simply being an asshole.

nice.. I see what you did there!

That honestly is a tough call for me... technically shiiiit or fuuuuck is a filter violation... BUT sometimes you want to say FUUUUUUCK not ****...

I think we are going to have to make a policy decision on this. The whole point of the filter is to give people options NOT to censor people. Hmmm.

Anyone want to make a poll on this ONE narrow part of the issue?

Problem is.. I can see people abusing this and just always typing fuuuck every time. My inclination is to allow it unless reported and THEN a mod can judge the context. Sound good?

Hammock Parties · 04-04-2013, 04:35 PM

I think intent should be a large part of it.

If you're intentionally bypassing the filter just to be nasty to someone...ban.

If you're just commenting on something that happened in a game or something...meh.

I do not get the point of deliberately misspelling profanity to get it past the filter. Seems juvenile.

Where do we stand on profanity in a picture, such as a meme?
