Censorship in Pm's

[Carnage]

I was talking with siric today and somewhere in a pm i said <img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif>. just <img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif>. The worst part about it being censored is that the smileys dont come up its just lines of code. What words are censored?

So my main question is why are our private messages being censored? I can understand F-Bombs being censored but why <img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif>?


Edit: the word was the s word

[crono_logical]

Might be lines of code because html is probably disabled in PMs which is used to show the images :p The censor is a blanket censor, and I doubt any of us can/will be bothered to hack the boards to make PMs exempt :D

[Carnage]

o0o EoFF dosent control the censorship the host board does?

[Leeza]

EoFF does.

[Yamaneko]

No need to use potty language anywhere on the boards.

[Shoeberto]

What? A privately owned message board wants to make their own rules about censorship? An outrage!

[Loony BoB]

I remember when I sent a PM to blox with a crapload of swear words (it was copy/pasted from a hidden LJ entry I had made) and he cracked up laughing when he got it because it had more skulls than letters. I dont think I'll ever hear the end of that one. Good times. xD I have to admit it definitely cheered me up.

Sorry, though, the censor system operates all over the forums, including PM's and other non-post areas.

[Shlup]

We can't just uncensor PMs without uncensoring the whole board.

As for your last question, I don't know. We used to just censor the f-word, but recently the s-word was added. Is it that big of a deal though?

[crono_logical]

It's a big deal if you want to speak japanese :p

to name a few, plus -te and -ta conjugations of all -su verbs :p

[Samuraid]

Heh...there is nothing wrong with saying "shi<i></i>ta" in Japanese. :D

[Shlup]

Oh yeah, Japanese.... Forgot about that. That's probably why it wasn't censored until recently.

[Citizen Bleys]

shi<i></i>tsurei shimasu.

[Doomgaze]

I speak a rare dialect in which the f-bomb is VITAL to many words.

[Dr Unne]

I didn't even know we censor that word. Neat.

[Citizen Bleys]

I speak a rare dialect in which the f-bomb is VITAL to many words.

And if you don't, I propose we make one. Or modify the English language somewhat. I once went to a board with an aggressive filter which would mangle the word "cockroach"

Hence "roach" took on a new meaning in that board's slang...

[Baloki]

I didn't even know we censor that word. Neat.

Do we still censor trout?

Edit: I guess not

[Citizen Bleys]

And THAT, my friends, is the true abomination. You can't apologize for being rude in Japanese, but you can run arount using the T-word all you want.

[DMKA]

No need to use potty language anywhere on the boards.
I'm still waiting for someone to define "potty language"...I don't get this whole "these words are a no-no but these other words are ok" concept. O___o

[Citizen Bleys]

That's because censorship is a colossal piss-up by nature.

[Yamaneko]

We could as a society just cut peoples' vocal cords out.

[Citizen Bleys]

I'd just type swear words faster to compensate.

[Yamaneko]

We'll cut your hands off too. Soon enough we'll ban the transmission of obscene thought processes over time and space.

[Citizen Bleys]

Fascists.

[Cz]

Telepathy is the way forward from here. They can't censor your mind, my friend.

[Citizen Bleys]

I smell a revolution in the air~!

[Cz]

There's nothing on TV, so sure.

Yes we have a swear filter, but you don't need to test it for us.~Matty

[Citizen Bleys]

I've always wondered what Jay's Rap would look like on this forum.

[escobert]

<3 u r teh ban :D

[Shoeberto]

Noish noish noish.

[Psychotic]

They censored Jay's rap? Phillistines :whimper:

[m4tt]

It wasn't even Jay's rap, it was just saying the f word over and over in a way that was un-jayish.

[Citizen Bleys]

It was Carlin's skit on the usage of the word "<img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif><img src=http://forums.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/lovesmile.gif>"
