but do we really want words like to be uncensored

personally, i prefer the amusing censor approach to slurs

Daddy

>mfw those were put in place almost exclusively to stop lawlz from using them all the time

we're in a sticky situation now since the words are posted any time the emote is used.

Kalahari Inkantation

and disabling the emotes would make all such words visible in their raw form lol, which i think would be worse

Daddy

I can add them as a word filter.

Typing them in caps or pluralizing it makes it not censored.

And I can also go in and eventually do a mass find and replace akudood;

Kalahari Inkantation

at the same, i don't want to run the risk of chilling free speech on boyah lol, and i'm not sure how i feel about retroactively modifying the posts of other users unless we really have just cause for doing so

man who knew emotes could be such a delicate issue

Daddy

I'll go back and edit my own posts and anyone who asks then akudood;

i think this is a very fair approach, anyone who desires mass search-and-destroy editing of old posts can put in a formal request to have an admin do it

we should make that policy known beyond this thread lol

Daddy

I'll probably need to write up a script to do this since it's not a SMF built in feature

Kalahari Inkantation

once that script is finished, we'll at least make note of it in the updated set of rules

Delete all of my pre 2015 posts pls thanks

YPrrrr
