Which has always been why I have argued this.. we filter part of the website, but not all..

The forums are important yet in the past have been the heaviest censored and disciplined

Posts in the forums can be found via Google and suchlike; comments in games cannot.

I think the main point is that the word 'fuсk' is filtered while other words (like 'cunt' or 'Thorthoth') can be posted without any sort of filter. Seems a bit weird.

I think it is an effort (however wasted) to encourage users of this site to expand their vocabulary and learn additional adjectives, and adverbs.

We should work on expanding the list of censored forum words. We should try to have the most complete list of censure so that we become famous. People will come from far and wide to learn how words like "owen" and "FAMO" became censored.

Actually, we'll be 'FAMO-us'.

Ok, classic. I just read this and it's news to me.

I know the filter was there Way back, possibly before I joined. I feel like it was put in after because, I vaguely recall it being treated like a crises by a bunch of members.

I also remember someone typed out some rather long explaination about it being an international website and there being some potential for legal problems if the word was posted in one country then read in another.

I thought the explaination could be true but sounded almost made up. Too funny that it most likely was. Especially because people occasionally would flip out, complaining bitterly. Like typing the F swear is super important to them or a right.

Spectacular!

On the last forum I was a member of there was a guy that kept posting his website that offered to give you money to play poker with. Then the poker site would pay his site for directing players to them. The forum owner and many of the members did not like the guy and kept deleting his link. Then one day set the filter to change it to. http://www.scam1!11.com

There was also a time a bunch of people from another forum joined to cause trouble, one of them kept posting the N word, they set a filter to change that to African American Gentleman.

Also something that a particular member kept miss spelling was filtered to change it to another word that was funny in that context but I can't remember what that was.

The old 4chan word filters were amusing. Neegra-> roody poo, gay meatball -> candy ass, etc

Yeah, it's been a part of the site since near the beginning. Guess it was Andy's and Twills idea of a sick joke. There's a work around it for those that care enough for the word to be uncensored but I don't see the big deal.

Was it Duk that explained it? Sometimes he reaches into the bullshit zone.

For the record, I do NOT ever reach into the bullshit zone. At least not on serious issues.

However, why would you even ask if the explanation came from me, when the explanation is contained in your own quote?!?!

Andy, a first-hand witness, remembers that it was Twill installed the forum filters. Presumably Twill installed them, was daunted by the task of actually configuring them, and just left the program with the one default word that it comes with. When Andy took over, he could have uninstalled it, but he thought it was funny to just leave it. That is contained in your own quote.

I HAVE checked. There is no policy or announcement about this anywhere. Just an incomplete project that one admin started on a whim and never completed, and ten years' worth of other admins who either don't care or also think it's funny to have this cute little anachronism sitting around as an archeological marker to Twill's Workshop.

Twilldo was a popular nick name.

It was so long ago I don't remember who came up with the international swearing legal issue explaination. It was probably one of the several lawyers that came over to form the TB Shockers. Later re-named the stachewackers to troll the original top clan here.

Duh, you mean ''fuckly''.


An adverb is a word that modifies a verb. An adjective is a word that modifies a noun. The word we are discussing here fits into all categories.

As in: The fucked, fucker, fucking fucked the fucking language fuckssignment.

The fucked, mrswdk, screwed up the lesson. (fucked is an adjective modifying mrswdk (noun))

The fucked fucker, screwed up the lesson (here we have inserted fucker as a replacement noun for mrswdk)

The fucked fucker, fucking screwed up the lesson (here we see fucking modifying the verb screwed, thus making it an adverb without the need of an "ly" (amazing))

The fucked fucker, fucking fucked up the lesson. (here fucked serves first as an adjective and then comes back to serve as the verb)

The fucked fucker, fucking fucked up the fucking language fuckssignment. (here we see fucking serve first as an adverb and the come right back as an adjective)

So one could taking the liberty that the English language allows write:

The mrswdked, mrswdk, mrswdking mrswdked the mrswdking language mrswdkssignment.

Wrong. The use of the word 'fucking' in that sentence does nothing to modify the verb. What's the difference between 'fucking screwing something up' and 'screwing something up'? Nothing.

And we're talking about the word 'fuсk', not 'fucking'.
