someone should create a word filter for that Japanese dude

[The Man]

Yoaka Amano doesn't have four skulls in the middle of his name. Just adding another replacement should do it; replace "Yoaka Amano" with "Yoshitaka Amano" or something

edit: oh smurf, this stretches the smurfing tables. Yet another reason to add an additional filter imho

[Samuraid]

An image linked out of the root dir of the website!? Treason!

[Agent Proto]

Yoshi'taka Amano.

Problem solved.

[Strider]

How about we just call 'im Bob? I'm pretty sure they don't filter out Bob.

Bob Amano. See? Brilliant!

Honestly, now.

[Flying Mullet]

What about a 'BoB' filter?

[The Man]

Yoshi'taka Amano.

Problem solved.

well, there's not supposed to be an apostrophe there

[Agent Proto]

Yeah, blame Behold the Void, it was his idea.

This has been discussed numerous times before and we've always come to the conclusion that we aren't going to make an exception to the word filter just because some Japanese dude has a funky name. Besides, you can always use the html tag trick to get around it, like I get around the f-bomb filter in staff.

Or it could be that clout and/or BoB are terrible admins.

EDIT: edited the thread title

Actually I think what Randy is putting forth here is that when you type out Yoaka Amano--the whole thing--it'll get filtered to Yoshitaka Amano, which doesn't really compromise the swear filter in any way that I can currently predict. But I guess you always have to be careful about giving Frito an inch, and it's not really a huge deal to just do the <b></b> thing since Amano's name doesn't exactly come up every day anyway. So yeah, man.

god damn it, kishi

I'm touched that you still have that. [img]http://home.eyesonff.com/images/smilies/heart.gif[/img]

edit: Yoaka

edit 2: dammit, it just bothers me when I see it on other people's posts. And it screws up thread titles

[fire_of_avalon]

Wah.

[Raistlin]

Yoshitaka Amano. Done deal.

[The Man]

I don't have a problem edging my way around the word filter in this case, but others do and that annoys me. I take it this problem isn't going to be solved though, so I'll just shut up now.
