Profanity filtering

Post by FG-administator »

ForumGarden has, as many of you will perhaps recall from previous encounters, a profanity filter. Periodically we, the powers on high as it were, review the character strings which will be asterisked out. ForumGarden wishes to be, as we continually point out to the errantly profane, safe for office workers.

If any of the words listed at the Mongolian telecommunications regulatory commission’s list are, in the opinion of any of the membership, so useful as to be excepted from my provisional filter, perhaps a request to omit the string could be added to this thread together with a sufficient example of its irreplaceable utility.

I'd like to hang on to tosser and bollocks. I'd struggle to convey my opinions to McOscar on the BNP without either of those two accurately descriptive words

I just clicked Google Images on aluurchin. Eww. That really isn't office-safe at all.

Well, there are quite a few words on that list that are quite common and quite useful, without actually meaning anything terribly insulting in most of the languages that I am familiar with. Unless we find that a majority of FG members are from, or plan to travel to, Mongolia in the near future, I'd prefer not to be censored to those standards, just yet.

Profane vocabulary doesn't affect me (in any personal sense) even if it is directed towards me specifically. However, it is an agressive mode of communication that really ought neither be necessary nor tolerated. I mean really, other than a discussion on the use of profanity itself ......... what's the point of it?

Story of my life, that. I did think of quoting from the end of Hamlet and calling you a Dane but there ought to be limits to the abuse here.
