!removed! Profanity Filter!

Featured Replies

I was just wondering what words actually get filtered out on here so i dont accidentally offend anyone if they get through. I will list a few as a test that I use regularly just to make sure they get blocked.

Be careful, don't want you getting banned for using innapropriate language! :lol:

(I've come here to seek refuge after being flamed on the "things I don't like" thread. :lol: )

I always upset someone too mate so dont worry about it. We cant all like everyone and their opinions!:)

Very true! Thanks. :)

The profanity filter is policed by the gestapo, expect a knock at the door in the early hours to be dragged to an unknown location for interrogation

Luckily for WES, it's past the moderators bedtime, so he won't have to face the consequences of his actions until the morning. ;)

Wanna bet?

The swear filter is in place to stop intentional language and accidental slips.

As this forum is accessible to all internet users without the need to register or sign in it was considered prudent to introduce suitable protection against non-workplace/school suitable posts.

It has been thoroughly tested by management & moderation staff and is amended/added to as/when needed.

Piers !Removed!

You missed one :P

Piers !Removed!

You missed one :P

Didn't think anyone would stoop that low.

Perhaps we should just have an acceptable dictionary word that those of us in the know can interpret as a swear word.

Eg "orangutan"

So Wes could say something like

"What the orangutan are you on about"

Nothing wrong with Morgan!! My Mother's maiden name was Morgan.

Nothing wrong with Piers either - they're wonderful additions to seaside resorts!!

It's only when they come together that the offensiveness creeps in...

How come Vauxhall hasn't been added to the list yet? :P

I actually liked my Astra VXR so i will partially disagree with you, I will say youre right about the basic range!:)

Haha I quite like some Vauxhalls really, like the Insignia, Ampera and Astra GTC.

However a 14 year old on Instagram said to me, "Vauxhall are more premium than Ford." Urm I don't think he's right there! :lol:

Sorry but again I disagree... Vauxhalls are limited edition you see ;)

When I was being trained for my current job we watched a short film called "The Really Angry Customer" which included the "pumpkin method", where all swear words are replaced with the word "pumpkin".

And that, my friend, is the youth of today. I shouldn't be surprised really.

Yep, he also said that Fords were "!Removed!". :rolleyes:

edit...sorry didn't realise the word G*Y was blocked.

I have mentioned before about how g a y should be removed from the filter... This isn't Russia guys, remove it from the filter or I will call the Mail and will tell my parliamentary insider...

Yeah I agree...it's not exactly a swear word. Straight inst blocked so why should G A Y be?

I personally don't think either words should be blocked as they're simply a sexuality. But when people use them in a childish offensive manor, that's when in my opinion they become unacceptable. So it's a difficult one to call.. as there's always one idiot who spoils it for the rest
