The interpretation of filter bypassing.

[tshultze]

A topic was rbought up this morning at about 4 about the bypass filter. here is why:

 

While discussing a mod a member of the chat said friggin and was warned about bypassing the chat filter.

 

The question arised as to why he was warned about using friggin. a General view of the chat was that friggin wasn't an attempt to bypass the chat filter and was considered a safe alternative to swearing.

questions arose slightly when asked why it was preferred we use filter bypasses such as F*ck or S*** or Damm when words like Frcik, Shoot, or Darn are much more likely to get you kicked from the chat when the others wouldn't.

 

Perhaps one of the mods or staff would be able to shed some light on the subject, I was told there was a lecture a while before I arrived but nobody ever explained it to me.

 

Thanks!

I have no problem with using "friggin" or "frackin" or any derivative that isn't f*cking, f**king, etc.

 

If a chat mod tells you not to do it and you disagree with it don't do what every one else normally does in chat and start arguing "why"...that's the path to getting banned. If you disagree you message me, Lon, or Buddah and we can put you straight. The chat is very hard to moderate because more people tend to open up their inner idiot in it. Ergo cut the mod team some slack in there.

Edit: seems Lon was already in the chat 2 hours previously telling people not to use substitutes for expletives. In which case you do what he says or you expect to be given strikes or banned. You DON'T argue it out with others and then bring it to the forums when a staff member tells you you're wrong. This isn't a democracy. What a member of staff tells you, you do. If you disagree you PM me.
