He's always been in Richmond afaik..

I agree with T2A though, its still obvious what people are saying even if it is blanked out.

 

[MrSmiles]

could make the censor change the word

have it change like in the south park movie

Not unless you were an übersheltered kid, who still lives in your parents basement, who is a religious fanatic!

I don't personally find "for the win" irritating, just that people have this crazy idea that it means "cool".

 

[Zxanphorian]

Even the o rly? owl is cooler than f t w

Changing the words would be better than replacing them with ****, IMO. Another board I used to post on did this... Changed sh*t to nuts and p*ssy to female thingy or something.

Flocking right. Biotch

 

[Cap'n Beeb]

I know right, we should totally filter naughty words for a forum based on an M rated game.

 

[BITE_ME]

Kids come here, and Mods have kids to. So the bad words do need to be blocked.

PS. can we use this ▓▓▓ it would be different.

Oh right, I forgot the majority of parents don't tell their kids what words are unacceptable anymore, and it's up to the internet to do their job. Pardon me.

 

[Zxanphorian]

"swear" words are used so frequently these days that it is almost impossible (save becoming a hermit) to escape them, so why even bother to block them out?

 

[T2A`]

There is no point. Don't you remember 6th grade? Everyone flung the f-word around at any given chance just because they could, and it's still the same today. There is hardly anything offensive about these words because no one gives a sh*t anymore.

Beeb has a point though. This a forum based on a game that has an M rating, a game in which the characters say "holy sh*t!" If you can't handle a little text then there's something wrong with you. And let's not forget the wonderful things kids can learn by going to OT, leaving curse words aside for a moment.

I also like how mods always ignore threads like these.

 

[Jrubzjeknf]

Why is FTW exactly starred out?

 

[Cap'n Beeb]

Because we don't tolerate retarded internet memes here.

I BET YOU CAN'T GET A T3 for example. But that's probably just due to something else entirely, which I'll leave you to guess at.

Just because I haven't made a comment doesn't mean I'm ignoring it. We have a discussion going on about it, but I don't think the correct party has responded.

Yet another example of T2A thinking he knows more than he really does.

 

[T2A`]

Or could it be that I was trying to catch someone's attention to get a post out of you mod guys? Worked, didn't it?

Sry to dig up the thread, but no mod has still haven't answered AngelMapper's question. What is the reason for starring f-tw out?

 

[Jrubzjeknf]

Looked through the thread again and saw that Kyllian said it's overused. I searched through this message boads for a couple of words.

Facts:
- f-tw: 169 pages of threads
- wtf: 4000 pages (max)
- goddamn*: 1481 pages
- bbq: 204 pages

I consider f-tw NOT overused. BRING IT BACK!
