Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Just when you think that this site can't get any worse for juvenile moderation ###### start to appear instead of innocent words. In our area willow is often described as p###y willow but it appears that we now can't be trusted to use correct words in context.

In our area willow is often desribed as p###y willow but it appears that we can't be trusted to use correct words in context. Pathetic Dave But is this due to the Moderators or, more likely, to some stupid automatic filter that comes with the site? How does it react to the name of a Lincolnshire town with a big steelworks, for example? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter220950 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Don't blame the mods, I had tthe same problem when I tried to mention 'H0mo sapiens' as a species, it's the software package, which is obviously American in origin as it doesn't wory about some Anglo-Saxonisms. I'm sure Andy wouldn't mind if you wanted to pay to get it revised Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I think you've taken a wrong turn Dave. The negativity thread is about a mile back on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB-AU Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I propose that all words likely to offend be replaced with "smeg" to solve the problem. Cheers David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic Dave Dave, let me assure you that the moderators do not spend their time checking every word that is written in the forum. I have more important things to do like look cute, chase keys and ask my human to shine a torch on the wall so I can chase the light but the forum software has some words which it changes to # signs to prevent those humans who do not have a strong cat looking after them from typing rude words. Perhaps we could call the tree in question Felis catus willow which is permitted by the filter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 There's a long list of words in the installed filter; some of the most offensive and some that in our context are completely innocuous. However most of the middle ground is subject to the context it's presented in. I find it quite insulting to state that it's a police state because of arbitrary word filtering and to say it's juvenile moderating shows a complete lack of understanding. Rather than considering why something may be the case or even asking (with a hint of respect) why it may be it probably says more about an attitude than it does about the (insignificant in my opinion) problem.
