Tried to come up with a clever response to this, but I got nothin'.

Fagnificent was a good choice. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

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

[Mat Sklansky]

Cola gets to be in charge of the censor filter. i have no opinion for the time being homoh included.

[MrWookie47]

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.

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.

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