Censor bypassing

Why is the thread locked even?

Why is lucid not bothering to make a censoring system himself where it will censor the word by itself and let admins add any words possible?

Do it lucid.

Giga I'm talking about from when the censor was first added. I haven't spoken to him about it since. It shouldn't really be such an issue that we can't swear anymore considering the site almost died, after all.



Measures that were, in actuality, already in place, save for an active forum thread containing private messages of a certain user's inbox.


I think there's a disconnect. What time did this occur?


Mikalis, when reporting the site to Adsense, passed along the thread that had Snailsmale's PMs to Romeo in it. The measures that were already (rightfully) in place can be found in the "Hateful Comments" and "Harassment" violations, which are actually outlined in the Adsense polices, unlike cursing.


I see - I can talk to lucid about removing the censor, but the censor also includes a lot of the sexually explicit stuff that was pointed out to him by the Google representative as not okay. Lucid spoke with the guy, I didn't - so I don't know what the deal was exactly.


That's not your problem don't stress yourself

Also adsense did not have a problem with EVERY thread. And 99% threads on em have bad words

giga... i'm talking about when they were put back up they weren't removed again since we've been using it


That's because adsense saw that we were actively trying to make the site less profane I guess? idk

Edit: It's because snailsmale/Howl deleted and adsense was more concerned with the sexual harassment bit

And I'm saying that there's really nothing I can do about it.

It's really difficult to be consistent with community vios since everyone has a different threshold. We've been taking measures to be more consistent across the board.

Kerry our ads are from "google ad services".

Removing adsense was a scam by lucid in order to get money from the site's users for hookers imo

google removed ads ages ago and we've been using ~firstletterhere~*** since then with nothing happening...

But he didn't care about that before and adsense doesn't either -_-

Look I'm not arguing with you or asking you to change anything I'm just voicing my displeasure

giga, lucid said we cant use ~firstletterhere~*** ?


That's what bronto just said in his response to me on page 3


No, that's not what I said at all.

Lucid put in a censor. Anything done to get around the censor is considering bypassing - look at the examples I posted in the announcement.

Would I be this strict otherwise?




Well I guess I misread you then. Bad thread imo

And if you want to go that strict you should ban any mention of alcohol and drugs too because THAT is mentioned

well honestly this is all trite and i have held the opinion that one or two instances of someone saying f*ck wasn't that big of a deal as the forums serve a niche audience and i don't think anyone would be up in arms about it but apparently there was a 3 page complaint thread about precedence because someone used asteriks to self-censor their swear or something

blame pranay


I agree ban Pranay

In that case you better remove drunk and hooker

Don't do this kind of thing

We don't need to take one thing and apply it as precedent to everything else

The thing is this isn't bronto's fault. I thought it was. It's lucid who set this up and well, his site his rules
