*#!!! swearing in thread titles

[Hitcher]

How easy would it be to make a filter that one can turn off and on in their User CP? Much like the dirty avatars.

Goodness me. What about words like Ass, Roger, Bosom, Snatch, Crutch, Tit, Willy, etc, etc, ad nauseum that aren't in themselves "swear words" or indeed intrinsically rude?

In essence people are probably only concerned about the inimitable F and C words but I would rail against even having a "filter" for those on the grounds of wordism: discrimination against something for no other reason than it may cause the feeble minded to take offence.

For heaven's sake people, get over it!

I was only offering a suggestion to help those that are concerned. I'm quite happy to read "cuntity cunt fuck" and such like. I am in a trade, if I fainted at the sound of a swear I'd get so much beauty sleep I'd be gorgeous.

I'm quite offended by Willy. That would be worth an infraction.

Those with experience of such filters will know that the results often swing wildly from hilarious to infuriating. The councillors of the town of SCENSOREDhorpe are the classic example. I am almost sure that Mr Spsankme tried it at one point with predictable results. The experiment was of short duration, though while it lasted it offered an interesting intellectual challenge. (Two, actually - to see who would sneak through the most objectionable phrase, masked by subtle letter changes; and to find the most inoffensive phrase that would be censored out)

I am not aware that KB has ever claimed to be a suitable milieu for those of tender years or refined sensibilities. It is a biker site. We are, by and large, a rough , uncouth and unlettered lot, in the habit of expressing ourselves in a robust Anglo-Saxon vernacular. Fie, and away with your fancy Norman French sensibilities.

There are a variety of 'Net Nanny' programs available that can be used by those who wish to, or need to, remove words they deem objectionable.

Epic FAIL from Mr Hitcher.

Who tagged 'Lemon party'?

The sheer innuendo and metaphorical allusions to issues of lewdness and crass interpretations is one of the gems of this site!

"... milk, milk, lemonade ... around the corner, fudge is made!"

The twunt cuckers, mudda fwinckers, aioliholes and badastereos and various spelling options always brings a snurkle to my face!

Baa ha ha, what a joke. Personal abuse is a no no on KB'er? Then how come A certain KB'er mentor gets a slap with a wet bus ticket, on a regular basis. There is no big "no no" & "if this continues then you'll actually be dealt with", instead we'll do exactly what we did the last 50 times.............2 fifths of feck all! Which will only encourage said person to rinse & repeat, which they do at will.

I'll get back to you in January once I've lost some of my current points.

(I wouldn't want to go tipping myself over the edge now).

One of the reasons I migrated to KB from SVrider was the fact that the censorship is so much more liberal....not to mention all the other advantages, (like actually FINDING KB) but that WAS a factor......SVrider was all sooooooo polite it made ya wanna SPEW.......gimme genuine kiwi argot any day......


Besides, I have Tourette Syndrome, so that's my fuckin' excuse.......

Not too conducive to people viewing the site at work either.

Nice signature! I thought I had sand flies crawling on my screen last night. I was rather tired though.

I really enjoy surfing through KB and get a lot of advice/pleasure from the various threads. I do get hacked off by the amount of swearing in thread titles. It means I can't view the site when my kids are around and is unnecessary. You can always add ##***!!! if you need to let off steam.

I must say you raise a valid point and it's one I've never considered. I'm a fucken shocker when it comes to swearing inappropriately, but that’s just me. I will however make a concerted effort to not do it in thread titles from.............................................. .........................................Now!

[FJRider]

I've noticed the four letter swear word gets used quite a bit. This I think, is due to the ease of spelling it... bit of a buggar that ...EH !!!

yeh swear werds is bad for the little kiddies. I have seen lotsa little bogan just-walking toddlers who wander around with their naps just barely hangin' on, with eyebrows knit and a glare on their widdle face, chucking toys on the floor and scolding fuck! Bitch! And cunt! Thinking back, those were some of the funniest things i have ever seen. Their dads looking on ever so pleased and proud.

Yor jokin right.

It's a fucking bikers site. The only fuckers that swear more than fucking bikers are rug munching bulldykes. For fuck's sake.
