    New and "improved" word filter. :(

    I'm quite disappointed to see that word (excuse me for saying it now) biatch is being filtered out, as is the other word for "arse", etc. :/

    I know this is a family forum etc, but isn't this a bit over the top?

    From what I know, Sean needed it to get the site approved for the Google ads. Is it permanent? I have no idea, go ask him Do I think it's over the top? Personally, not really

    It's not so much the swearing, as the not being cencored so some guy can get 5 cents a click untill google says " you, we don't wanna pay anymore, your site has too many people clicking" is what's important.

    I don't mean swearing...it's not important. But those arse and biatch? It's not much of swearing, in my opinion, but oh well...

    Yeah, you might be right. We should get rid of the ads and keep the swear filter. Then everyone will be happy.

    What the hell?

    EDIT: Ok, my favorite swear isn't filtered so I really don't give a crap.

    Your opinions have all been noted and we will be sure to keep them in mind if/when Cid decides to review how to run his own website. But seriously, yeah, we know. But this is how things are, and it will be dealt with if we ever feel that there is a valid need and reason. For now, you'll have to live with it. You'll be fine, I'm sure. If you need to find forums in which to swear in, I'm sure they're out there somewhere.

    Hey cool guy, guess what? No more complaining until I get your check in the mail paying for 1tb of bandwith a month. Perhaps you've forgotten that we're providing a free service. You've got your pick of plenty of other ff websites if this one isn't doing it for you, but from what I know, you'd get banned if you tested out some of their "swear filters".

    Sure I can live without those words and I can deal with it, and understand now, as it was something necessary. And AGAIN, I didn't say I'm for swearing. :\

    Just giving feedback here, that's what this forum is for, right? So often people here starts suggesting then: " Go find some forums where you can do this and that blah" and I find it funny.

    I wasn't at all annoyed with what you said, Mikztsu. In all honesty, I'll probably bring the cursing back in a while, although I suddenly feel much less encouraged to do so.

    I think I know why the word "bi***h" is being filtered now, I think I know of a certain sombody who overused it alot.

    Oh, you said in the wpod thread that they were hosting you for free, and I didn't know that had changed.
