January 28, 201016 yr Just a humorous title. Anyway, before we changed to Invision and we were still on phBB I remember the censors being more "customized" ie. funnier and more meaningful. Now it's just bleep most of the time. Previously a certain curse had it's own specific censor. For example : [cabbage], [bleep] , [bleep], [bleep], [bleep], [bleep] Back then you could get a good idea of what curse a user was using. Now you have no idea ! Any chance of bringing the old system back ?
January 28, 201016 yr Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think any of those fun censors were changed when we moved to IPB. That being said, more "fun" censors would be nice. They are a bit of a laugh :P - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog
January 28, 201016 yr None of the "fun" censors were changed. The point of a censor is not really that you're supposed to be able to use offensive words - just in transferred versions. Cabbage now has a transferred meaning on Tip.It, which is okay. But some more offensive words just should never have that, and you aren't supposed to be able to guess every filtered word from what they are censored to. If that was the case, we might aswell just have dropped the censor in the first place - as people would have used those word as insults instead. In fact, that has even happened with "cabbage" and "gardening tool" already. :unsure: When everybody knows the meaning of the replacement word, it loses its censoring effect. Laikrob,Moderator You're accusing me of bigotry, how ironic. It's a nice attempt at argument, but your responses are facile and asinine, if not diatribe. Who's arrogant now?

Laikrob,Moderator Yeah, I know it kind of defeats the purpose of there being a censor at all but I distinctly remember there being "female dog" and "puncture". Oh well. What you say is perfectly good. :thumbup:
January 28, 201016 yr The filter was not changed in the IPB switchover. "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world."Abraham Lincoln
