Subject: 22 March, 2006: Profanity Filter on h2g2 | |
Posted Mar 1, 2006 by The h2g2 Editors | Post: 1 |
h2g2 has never allowed hardcore swearing, yet the use of swear words on h2g2 remains one of the most common reasons for complaints. We have taken the decision to instal a 'profanity filter' which will now automatically prevent any contribution (entries and postings) that contains an unsuitable word from being posted. We've scheduled the profanity filter to be switched on at some point on 3 April, 2006. We will make a further announcement should this plan change. More information on how the filter works will be available nearer the time. | |
Subject: Wop the Feckin' Profanity Filter! | |
Posted May 1, 2006 six7s | Post: 666 |
This new tool ain't a filter, it's a hammer - and a rather unwieldy one at that. But then, who's surprised? Not me! It was obviously implemented without consulting anyone who knows anything about online communities, let alone software. TPTB: The Pr*cks That Bungle? Whoever made the above posting didn't really know what they were talking about when they said "(entries and postings)". Postings perhaps, but not entries - for now at least... As long as they're in Guide-ML, all you have to do is 'encode' your text and the filter has (for now) no fecking idea! For example: fuck spells f*ck (and the asterisk ain't 'a', 'e', 'i' or 'o'). Ordinarily, I have no intention of wasting the mods time let alone incurring the wrath of the italics... Call me naïve, but I still see h2 as a living, breathing online experiment in communication. However, the more I have lurked through the dozens and dozens of posts per day on F55683?thread=2604825, the more I have thought that maybe (just maybe) it's time for some (relatively) simple, protest action... I know this may well seem not only juvenile but also downright stupid... but, as one of the italics so eloquently said "You may have infinite time to waste". Of course, once the mods are alerted, this and any other similarly offending pages will simply be hidden... and the filter will probably be modified soon afterwards... But maybe, just maybe, the italics will get the message that h2 is a community and some (many?) researchers don't like being dictated to Now, which FLICKING CLINT will it be who hits the yikes button at the bottom of this page? Will it be you? | |
