[FAO Admin] Swear filter request: Editing of Offensive Words

JupiterKid

Hi Helpdesk. I was posting on a thread on the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual section and noticed that although the racist term n****r is banned/automatically edited out (and rightly so), the grossly offensive term "****" was not. I think that if Boards.ie is to respect the equality of every minority/group, then terms found offensive to minorities should all be barred. Gay men find the word "****" highly offensive.

I would like, therefore, to see the trem "****" banned from the forum. I would be grateful if you could reply to let me know if you plan to action my request.


Regards,

JupiterKid

Sounds reasonable, I've edited your thread fao Admin just to make it a bit more prominant for an Admin to have a look at. Good idea imo, beef faggots aren't eaten much these days and the term as a measuring unit for twigs isn't that hip either..

Thanks for your help Gordon. From the way my original post has been changed, it looks like the admins have indeed decided to ban the "f" word.

Ah, that's cool. Thanks for the feedback.
