Can we get rid of the filter evasion ban?

[Hootie]

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?

Let it go.

It's a message board about the Chiefs.

I just don't want to see my buddy duncan_idaho get banned for evading a filter when he is the heart and soul of Royals fans on ChiefsPlanet

I know you can't read Tattoo...I understand you have few, if any, brain cells left...

I didn't say get rid of the filter.

I said get rid of the ban for circumventing the filter.

What punishment would you suggest if one bypasses the filter?

It depends.

if someone replaces a u with a v...nothing

if someone puts a . between an n and an i...probably a ban

if Dane does any of it nothing of course.

I don't think I understand the difference. Could you provide some actual examples?

Yes.

Once upon a time on ChiefsPlanet, there was this member who has over 60,000 posts yet none of them have any substance, pretty sure he's not a Chiefs fan, if he were to disappear one day no one would ever remember he existed...and he accomplished all of these feats while having more posts than everyone but maybe 3 members.

Congrats bro...maybe you should change your name from 'Donger' to 'Bland.'

Just look at all the examples of filter evasion over the years.

This thread was clearly created by a productive member of society.

If you want to out yourself as someone who needs something better to do with their time, at least make a good thread without the whiny bitch tone.

I go to work in 20 minutes I'm just passing my time because this Royals game isn't doing it for me.

THIS is exactly what I DON'T want people to do. Right now we are trying to WARN people then only give bans out to people who refuse to listen.

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.
