Title: Censored Words Post by: The Doc on March 31, 2011, 11:46:22 am The forum hosts have put a block on certain words being used within this and all other forums. They havent provided a list of what they deem to be innapropriate, but I think we can all work out what the main ones will be. Judging by the reaction they are getting I don't think it will be in place for too long but just so you are all aware, certain words will now be replaced with ***** if you cuss in your posts. Or even if you don't if a word contains the banned word in the middle. Its a pain, but hopefully it won't last long. It should mainly only be Iceman who is affected anyway :)

Title: Re: Censored Words Post by: chrissymarieb on March 31, 2011, 03:14:11 pm Ha, finally he is silenced :P Well, the phrase 'Silence will fall' has been popular lately. Maybe this is what they meant :P Sorry - that was bad I know. Forgive me. Title: Re: Censored Words Post by: Iceman on March 31, 2011, 09:27:29 pm Haha you ******* ***** think this is real ******* funny. I don't ******* curse that ****** much anyway, so the ******* joke doesnt make that much ******* sense.
:P ;) Title: Re: Censored Words Post by: MandyDuchovney on April 01, 2011, 01:35:01 pm What a ridiculous ruling >:(

Title: Re: Censored Words Post by: mel42 on April 04, 2011, 03:45:46 am Occasionally words are obscured that aren't naughty at all but, as you said, contain another word in the middle of it. We all know they use certain words in Torchwood and in fanfics of it but you'd expect it there, wouldn't you? X) Slightly amusing, that this rule is in place by the forum hosts, but what can you do? ;@
Title: Re: Censored Words Post by: The Doc on April 17, 2011, 12:00:19 am Due to my complaints, the words Dick and Dyke (from the first post we noticed the censorship on) are now usable again, however, some random words such as c-asino (you understand the hyphen, im sure) are on the banned list. I've asked for a list of banned words, but heard nothing
Title: Re: Censored Words Post by: Exterminate on April 17, 2011, 12:58:03 am C-asino is banned? Thats not even a swear word!
Title: Re: Censored Words Post by: Oh-Wise-One on April 17, 2011, 03:42:03 pm Thats just stupid
Title: Re: Censored Words Post by: Roranicus on April 17, 2011, 09:06:29 pm I just found out the word g*amble is also banned :o ???
Title: Re: Censored Words Post by: Dame Roger on April 17, 2011, 10:50:35 pm This reminds me of a thread on another forum about the comedian Tony Hancock. Can be quite difficult talking about someone when the board won't let you post his surname...
Title: Re: Censored Words Post by: thefifthdoctor on August 03, 2011, 10:22:44 am Surprised we're still stuck with this malarky - discovered that Douc he bag is also on the block list.
It's very silly. Maybe we should all resort to Firefly-esque insults in foreign languages? >:D Title: Re: Censored Words Post by: poprockgeek on August 03, 2011, 11:38:20 am Maybe we should all resort to Firefly-esque insults in foreign languages? >:D ;D Title: Re: Censored Words Post by: Nyki on August 03, 2011, 04:59:17 pm My favourite insult is "slubberdegullion" - an old word meaning a "dirty slobbering fellow". I bet that's not on their list 8) |
