Re: racial slurs other than [censored]
 

Well, we could always uncensor it on a trial basis. Let it go, and see if anyone is using it in a demeaning manor. If so, it's not too hard to reban it.

I agree that fagnificient is great.

The thing is that basically nobody uses "h0mo" as an insult. It's almost always got enough ironic content that I can't imagine people being offended. I'd think that's a safe enough word to un censor.

I'd like us to add fucksteak, 'cause it's basically my favorite word but since I'm being good I never say it since I know it will get past the censor.

i've never heard the word fucksteak before - what does it mean?

in the same vein, maybe we should ban shitwad and bollockchops? leave cockfeeler though, of course, for use when a [censored] makes a [censored] sugggestion

I'm not sure it means anything. I just started saying it.

I typically use to describe somebody, like "that fucksteak just cut me off".

It's a really fantastic word.

I agree with what Mat said earlier in this thread. There just doesn't seem to be any need for people to use "h0mo" by itself. Gay is still (correctly, IMO) uncensored, and people use that as an insult every day. I'm not sure that I understand the reasoning behind giving another option.

Is not being able to say h0mo really a big deal to people?


Before I became a a mod, one of my first posts about moderation was about how I thought the profanity filter was silly and unnecessary. But I understand the reasoning behind it at this point.

Now it seems silly to me that people would care about not being able to call someone a h0mo without it being censored. But if you guys can convince me that removing it from the censored list would be good for the site, I will change it.

Re: racial slurs other than [censored]
 

I just think that when the h0mo in [censored] sapiens is censored it looks really silly and makes 2p2 seems awfully reactionary.

Wait until you ask a Party player from my old home town of Scunthorpe where he's from.

Re: racial slurs other than [censored]
 

my argruement would be that calling someone a h omo is on par with something like deuchebag or retard than it is with [censored]. Since I dont think anyone wants a site that is filtered to the extent where we cant call some one a god damned deuchebag retard then we should only censor those words that are truly offensive to the majority of the members. I dont think h omo rises to that level

also I would add s lut as well should not be filtered, im all for banning some prick who calls a female memeber a s lut but I dont think the word should be censored entirely.
