Thread: Dodging the Swear Filter?

No...it was ****head

Swear filter dodges are not automatically picked up, they require an eyeball to see it and a finger on a key/mouse to report it. So to anyone viewing, it didn't look like a dodge, because it wasn't.

Sorry Allan, for some reason I was thinking the OP was made by Sheerluck; it's his style of trouble making.

Why?

because as I explained to someone recently its not about the word that was dodged it was the act of doing it.

so you may note that dickhead is not in the filter

however if you typed d1ckhead <<<<then this is obviously someone trying to make sure the word gets past the filter as why else would you use a number to replace a letter.

****** is also not in the filter however typing it like this Wa**ker is still a dodge, as its the act of actually replacing letters that shouldn't be replaced, does that make sense?


I looked at the link and no it is not a dodge because head isn't a swear word and if you typed the swear word just like this ****head you will see that it only stars out the offensive part adding a full stop as I have already said is not a dodge its just punctuation

That must be about the first post I've seen that dodges the swear filter and won't get reported....

Or will it....

Better still, don't use swear words altogether. You don't see me typing "Belgium".
Hmmmm...... That one is not in the filter.

Hmmm, that it is offensive, would be like to say that typing "Australia" when someone refer to a swearing word

but it will be worth it so I dont have to send almost daily PMs explaining why people have been warned for doing it

As opposed to " bloody Australians," Bob

The naughty corner gets fairly crowded here sometimes , Bob.
