Has anyone ever been on a forum that had stupid censorship things? On the messageboard for the official Pittsburgh Steelers website, they censor the word "dick" when "Dick Lebeau" is the name of THEIR OWN DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR. Honestly, I don't think you can get any more stupid than that. Sheesh. You can't say anyone is cocky either. I message on that board might come out as "I bet that (bad word) Lebeau will show those (bad word)y Bengals that they can't get yards."
on my forum it automatically censors "click". people are fare more likley to use click for mouse click, not (rude word)
Yeah, this forum automatically censors, too, but only by omitting it, even if it's in the middle of the word.
lol! Thats pretty funny shadowlinlk13! did you post in after the message?
I had a thread complaining about it. The mods ignored it. It was a crappy forum. You hardly ever saw the management there and they deleted stuff without explaination. I got my account deactivated for some reason too and then there was this message that said to check my PMs to see why I was deactivated. No one sent me a PM. I got banned and they didn't tell me why, no warnings, anything. Well, if their stupid enough to censor the name of the teams DC, they will ban me for no reason.
Classical.
Massive.
Embarrass.
Pass.
See? Silly. I sent Jack a PM about this. He hasn't gotten back to me on it yet, but he's a busy guy. Give him some credit.
I never noticed this forum censored anything. What does it censor.
Well, above was my example. ::)
;D
The "a" word. If a word has the "a" word in it, those three letters drop. It's very annoying. I thought mive was some Spanish word before I realized it was supposed to be masive, but with two s's, not one.
Yeah, but still, I agree with giving Jack some credit. This feature IS kind of minor.
As for you, shadowlink13, yeah, the latter seems extremely rediculous. It kind of reminds me of my school... ;)
massive
It doesn't do it for me.
I wonder if he fixed it. For you, shadowlink13, it could just be luck. :)
I told Jack about it. Maybe it was I who got rid of it.
Maybe mod powers have something to do with it. Why they would... I don't know. Someone who isn't a mod try writing "massive."
Don't need to. Go back and look at my first post. But here it is anyways: massive.
It's gone! ;D
Cool. It's fixed.
"Mive" could be a new curse word, meaning "large buttox." You know... 'cause mASSive. :D
Wouldn't we get in trouble? ;)
Yeah I put the censoring thingly in as a lark (would have been helpful with SR's recent certain-colored female dog rants) and had no idea that it would pick "swears" out of the middle of words. Bizarre.
Anyways, it's gone, ding dong it is dead, etc.
I'm glad there isn't automatic censorship here.
I'm going to change it so WhoCares censors to Yo Mamma or something equally unhilarious like that.
DON'T YOU EVEN TRY THAT!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:(
Alright, how about "...is the man?" ;D
I totally did it, but I'm only going to keep it until Sunday. So enjoy it while it lasts.
"Whocares."
I deleted the post of mine you changed out of censorship! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( Also, Never change a post of mine, because it will end up being deleted, waisting the point of the change.
You rock jack AKA The goddly Zelda Administrator of Colosuss's duke of forum humor and hilarity.
I was only joking about my General King thing! Stop the censorship madness now! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

It's gone now. Sorry... ???
Sorry, but I get angry easily and I don't mean what I say alot of the time. Can't people tell sarcastic sentences anymore?
Only out loud, and then only if you are trained.
Hey, Jack, automatically censoring some words is a good idea, but not if it's in the middle of a word. Proboards has this feature where it won't censor whole words. For example, if "hi" was censored and someone wrote "high," it would change to "hellogh." Maybe this forum has something like it?
I can't change that. The way the forum's censorship script works is that anywehere is sees (to use your example) the letters "h" and "i" together in that order, it replaces htme with what I give it as the "replacement word".
It's really stupid, but as least I can censor the words like "female dog" and "copulate violently" since there are few to no words with them in the middle of them.
Well, everything can't be perfect. But you do an awesome job with what you have.
