Please note that FD himself suggested I post this here - I was happy to keep it between us. But sure, I'll let my views be known here... I think the whole idea is utterly absurd and should be scrapped altogether. Especially for a board that was specifically set up in the interests of free speech. Personally I like indulging in a few expletives to emphasise my arguments, and I don't believe it detracts from the quality of my arguments. But does it even dissuade people from swearing? Of course not, everyone just finds ways of spelling it differently to avoid the filter. Besides, when you see the word 'smacking' or whatever euphemisms are used, obviously everyone knows what word it is really - thus one way or another, swearing is not avoided anyway. So for feerks sake, lets stop this shIIt and get rid of this stupid, moronic faarking filter just like to comment....on the fact that fd would like those who are allowed to post in feedback to comment on the swear word filter.... yep he even puts up a poll... when a huge majority of members cannot use the feedback board.... for reasons unknown... ::) ::) perhaps when you are figuring out what the chosen few members want from a swear filter.....you might tell those who are banned from feedback why it is you dont wish to hear from us????....... needless to say I have not commented on the swear filter... as I can believe my comments wont hold any interest anyway... |

Free speech? I can certainly understand and agree with a few people being banned from using Feedback, they just don't know when to quit, but almost half the posting forum is banned and that is certainly NOT promoting free speech and why add a poll where only a select few can vote? It seems the only 'free speech' allowed around here without consequence is about Muslims, persistent derisive ad hominem and trolling. So, consequently, I don't give a damn. Keep the swear filter or take it away, it makes no difference what any of us think. The decision, poll or no poll, is not ours and that is not what I determine to be "a board that was specifically set up in the interests of free speech".

Half the forum either is banned from Relationships or just refuse to post there. If your thread is moved there it is because the powers that be want it to die a fast death. It would be like giving us the finger, yet again. |

Oh my, Mr. Aussie, what a big ego you have to think that everyone takes note of your pronouncements, marks that date on the calendar and organizes one's life around it!
The only one here playing games is yourself Mr. Aussie, games that only exist in that noggin' of yours, games in which everyone else remembers what is said in Relationships gives it the same importance as you do. |

this poll is probably the most accurate gauge of sentiment as Feedback has restricted access as you say and those who post can and do post there are generally angry and bitter. anything put forward in Relationships is of course warped by Aussie and thus is unreliable. |

Title: Re: stolen from feedback Post by Neferti on Jun 21st, 2016 at 6:15pm
Aussie males used to pepper their conversations with bloody and bugger. Nobody took any notice, it was part of our vernacular. Females never swore, except perhaps to use bum, darn or blast.
Then the f-word became part of common language ... worldwide .... I am finding that it is usually the young female that uses the f-word for emphasis ... the males use the c-word and that I can't say I approve of, I consider it rude and uncouth, whereas the f-word has, seemingly, replaced bloody and bugger to some extent in our vernacular. Anyhow, what I am trying to say is that IF Forums try to limit a poster's ability to express themselves and if that is a b, c, or f word, they will use it and get around it, regardless of "filters". If you leave people to express themselves without telling them what they can and cannot use as "swear words" they will become more creative ... or something and most likely NOT use swear words, unless they are frustrated ... but that is another topic. I voted to get rid of the swear filter, allow posters to be ADULTS ... for the time being and see how people react. I think that "reverse psychology" might exist .... SHOULD it become a problem I am sure Freediver can immediately apply the filter, once more. My dollars worth. ;) |

The problem is that there is a handful who cannot, or would not, act as adults and flinging expletives to shoot someone down is easier than forming a controlled argument.

Re: Who will be new GMOD
Reply #33 - Jun 29th, 2016 at 11:41pm I think in the interest of fairness we need another female GMod. I put myself forward as a credible choice, obviously I have the experience necessary as most of you know. I think Ms cods would also be excellent choice, after myself of course. Either of us would insist on a monthly Dip n Glide night, and no getting a leg over in the bus on the way home. Wink as I cannot respond in feedback to my admirers I do hope Margie spreads herself around the forum and catches my thanks for this remark in feedback.. sorry if reposting offends others... but I feel rather special that Margie remembers me from the CWA forum.. where I ran a tight ship.. I do not believe a new g mod...would have the power to run fantastic.."blue light discos" like we girls had.... g mods are no fun at all margie.. |
