[Denny Crane!]

And so continue the staffs plans to take over the world. Today its only warnings tomorrow Russia!

[Hotspur]

...and Kev-o shoots himself right in the face...

[makanyane]

Yeah, I don't think the "How do you know if it was profanity or just saying he is an idiot?" argument is going far!

I was going to suggest if you are self censoring you should use something that doesn't look like swear filter took it out, but #### it....

[zznɟ ǝɥʇ]

Or you should post things that don't require self-censoring...just sayin'

[generally amusing]

I can't help but agree with Kev-o. If the word is censored, the flame loses all meaning. If the word is not censored, it becomes a flame.

[Denny Crane!]

Certainly an interesting point of view, a flame is a flame due to the syntax not the semantics surely.

[Miraj]

Can I say.. we support your war on asterixes! May Gorge walter Boosh crush every 11, 12 and 13 year old that makes star patterns in wrong contextualifications of sentences! Now I sing anthem.

God you're a stupid ****

Only a ***** would hold that opinion

Wow, I never knew you were so ******

Why don't you read a book, you *****?

People as ******* as you sicken me ....

Jesus Christ, why do you have to be so *****









Point taken?

Self-censoring or not, if that word needed to be censored, then it is a flame - it's fairly simple. I can give more examples, if you'd like.

[Garbarsardar]

God you're a stupid ****

Bush? (But that was already a flame even without the censored word )

Only a ***** would hold that opinion

Greek?

Wow, I never knew you were so ******

German?

Why don't you read a book, you *****?

Inuit?

People as ******* as you sicken me ....

Logical?

Jesus Christ, why do you have to be so *****

Quiet?

Sophistry, I admit that, but I couldn't resist.

[Scorch]

Sophistry, I admit that, but I couldn't resist.

Of course you couldn't.

To which I say ... why the hell would you censor the word Greek?

By the way, you fail. :o

Why don't you read a book, you *****?

Korean?

There's only 5 asterisks.

[Garbarsardar]

Of course you couldn't.

There's only 5 asterisks.

My eyes...OK changed that.

My point was that if you do not have a way to tell if a word is censored or self-censored you have to rely on contextual elements. In this case and especially after Kev-o's own admission things are relatively simple. But theoretically, it could be a wrong call and you would have no way to prove you are not an ********.

In this case, yes, it's very simple. As I said, I've challenged him to provide a 5-lettered word that is bad enough to be censored that could make that sentence harmless.

crude
moral

Will those do, you ******? Kev-o makes it quite clear that he typed the asterisks, not the censor.

Here is something that I thought needed to be brought up. I also apologise for what I am about to do but it should have been added to the censor list anyways.

Shite is not on the list of censored words.

If an admin or mod wishes to delete the spoiler or turn it into the word "bunny" then I have no problems with that.

[Scorch]

I think that's because it's generally a socially acceptable mutation, perhaps. I think this was discussed in staff at one point or another.

You're seriously telling me that kev-o typed "Jesus Christ, why do you have to be so perky" and saw the last word as so profane that it needed to be censored?

I think you're quite a ****ed up person.

Does adding those asterisks myself - not by way of the censor - suddenly make that okay? Of course not; in the case of the spoilered example, it actually makes it a censor bypass as well

Anyway, that aside, what's a word bad enough to self-censored that fits into that sentence grammatically and isn't an insult?

I don't get it. Your spoiler word is seven letters but you only used four in the sentence, it's misspelled and I'm not sure what it means.

I don't know what Kev-o typed and unfortunately, neither do you.

I honestly hope that your ignorance there is an act

Oh, and feel free to offer up a word bad enough to be self-censored that can complete the sentence without making it an insult at any time you want :

Are you sure? As far as I am concerned Shite is as much a swear as ******* or ******* and they are on the list. It's not like the old Father Ted word of Feck.

[Hotspur]

I honestly hope that your ignorance there is an act

Not at all. Please, explain to me how somebody can be "f***wited up" -which, as I previously noted, should be hyphenated and have two t's, as in "quick-witted".
