stolen from feedback
Jun 18^th, 2016 at 11:14am

http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1466210653

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... Roll Eyes

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...

If the current limits in place on this site are relaxed any further, then this site will go down a similar road to FD's other site, that being PA, Which frankly leaves a lot to be desired!

However, this is FD's site, so if he wants this site to go down the same path as PA, then that's his decision.

That said, I will not entertain going any further down that path, whatsoever!

I voted 'Keep it' for that exact reason. You give some people an inch, they will take a mile as you have seen with my 'imposter.' I'd toughen it up to make a clear statement of zero tolerance towards going down a primrose path to the almost empty but open fetid sewer that other place is.

He probably banned me from feedback because I highlighted the
page flipping problem too many times
& he can't do anything about it.

It made him feel ineffectual.

So for feerks sake, lets stop this shIIt and get rid of this stupid, moronic faarking filter!

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".

Watches this thread sink into oblivion in General ...

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.

I have no idea about those who has chosen, but I do know that only one person is under a permanent ban. AiA's current suspension expires on the 30th June, as he knows.
