The thunderdome.

Iwasfrozen

I think the bad word filter in the thunderdome should be disable, it's just strange to censure them out in a forum where cursing is allowed.

What is the reason for the presence of a bad word filter on that forum ?

AlmightyCushion

The filter is sitewide, it can't be changed for individual forums.

For a second there I was really excited.

If it makes you feel any better I could call you an over-zealous nazi.

Well speaking as an apathetic libertarian I would be disgusted.

I wouldn't have pegged you for a librarian

Like AlmightyCushion said, it's a sitewide setting. Words can be added or deleted from the filter but it's either all on or all off.

Ghost train I fear you and I have been a catalyst in taking this valuable feedback thread somewhat off the rails.

You just have to be more imaginative with your curses, like Darn, Heck, Balls, etcetera.
See - no stars for those words.

..or get rid of the thunderdome all together.

How people get enjoyment from been verbally nasty to each other bothers me somewhat.

My Advice: Don't use it.

Seriously, why are people always trying to stop other people from doing stuff just because it doesn't appeal to them personally? No-one is holding a gun to your head, you don't have to read the 'dome.

Plus, nasty? Tell you what snyper, create a new account, go into the insult thread and insult one of the regulars. Then watch all the other regulars defend that person. It's not nasty, it's just banter.

My name is URL

If it wasn't for the Thunderdome I'd have banned a long time ago, it's my go-to place to vent if something pisses me off

Im not.

Strange type of banter.

Look i wouldnt get rid of the 'dome, nor would i use it. Im merely lost as to how someone enjoys "banter" that involves insulting other people.

I reckon the swear filter adds to the dome.

Rather than having the usual boring swear words the users are much more creative with the guff cos they have to be.

@ snyper,do you not insult your mates.I know I and my friends do it to eachother and it is just banter.

banter all the same. There's no malice in it, it's just.....banter.

I don't understand how someone would enjoy banter about them being a paedo - horses for courses tho, right?

Your images of me fapping at any refrences toward my good self are misguided.
