After 15 minutes browsing the boards for the first time in 3 weeks, the first thing I notice is a marked increase in crude, filthy language in posts.
Can it, guys. :doubt:
-
:nod:
*gives everyone a happy pill*
I just returned as well and I must say, I agree
(Though I must say I'm not totally innocent as well :p)
-
Don't remember if I've said something...hope not.
-
*grumbles*
*curses under breath*
-
I personally did not notice anything, but I only looked a couple of threads and I guess I have gotten used to seeing profanity everywhere anyway... :p :D
-
I haven't pointed any fingers, and I'm not planning on doing so. But considering this is a public board, those of you who are unable to control your overly-peverse minds and mouths will find themselves the direct cause of word-filters being reinstated - a feature that has been disabled since the move to vB.

It depends what are you meaning under overly-peverse words...
crap, damn, ****, ****
or those that an0n was using when The Rift still existed.
-
LOL A word search for f**k gets 54 topics :P
Others got up to 300 topics lol
It is a touch overboard.
-
i try to use as little if any bad language as possible... in fact, of the four bad words (i'm assuming) i'll bet i've only said like 2 or 3 of them.
hehehe, between an0n and Stryke they probably have about 99% of the bad words :D

[color=33ff00]As always I think this issue is being taken lightly.
an0n most of your antics can be passed off as funny but you push it far too often and usually in inappropriate circumstances. Tone it down.

I can't help it. I see every warning as a challenge and blatantly ignore it as an act of defiance.
Pity me :(.

It's not a warning. It's a threat. Deal with it.
-
What's a threat?
-
Ok, I'll guess I'll have to whip up the user-based censor system then. :rolleyes:
Come on, people. We seriously don't want to ban you, don't make us do it.
-
On a related tangent: What's the point in a censor? I mean, the only thing which could be considered offensive about a word is the images which is conveys upon reading. By replacing offending words with those ickle star thingies you are merely causing their minds to conjure up a multitude of various profanities in an effort to find a word which fits. So the only real difference is the reader sees the word with their mind instead of their mind and eyes and that they can't read as fast.
Pour example: I'm gonna **** your **** with a spikey stick then **** you in the *** with Mike's *****.
See. Pointless. I know you'll disagree, but I'm still right.
-
That's why we'll block any post containing foul language. ;)

I quite agree - which is why I am coming before you all with the issue as opposed to simply putting the word filter back in.
-
I take it you won't bother censoring every fricking curse word? Coz that'd take sugaring ages and be pretty frellin hard to do. It'd also make things incredibly frelling hezmada whilst trying to quote Far-buggary-Scape or call something the illegitemate produce of two entities.
But I suppose if you wanna waste your time............
Also, I feel this will only serve to make the boards gayer in that we'll end up using terms like "Shippy" instead of "Rough, hard, sex" as has happened with just about every crapping Stargate board on the internet.

So, if asking use nicely doesn't work, you'll ban the offenders then make things worse?
-
see i say that OCCASIONALLY it's ok to use a bad word... not acceptable, but not as bad as using it in every sentence, like you do. if you force them to use the filter, then no one will be able to use bad words... don't ruin it for all of us

Actually, now that I've gone over what triggered this off in the first place, I should clarify: It's not so much the curse words as the descriptive dirty phrases that bother me - I understand the (immature) need to express oneself with a good hearty "HOLY ****" here and there, but I WILL NOT tolerate things such as describing what kind of excrement you'd like to dump into whoever's mother's open mouth. Got it?
-
I don't remember doing that.
Also: Oooh, he's changed the lightcolor of the horizontal-rule. Very nifty, and also, colour co-ordinated.

[color=66ff00]It still serves to point out that we don't allow the use of open swearing on these boards.[/color]

Didn't say it was you. I was simply clarifying what exactly it was that bothered me.
And yeah, that was me - couldn't stand that plain-Jane horizontal rule thing any more. :p
-
just plain out saying "F*** you" for no apparent reason, i'd say that's exactly what Sandwich was speaking against :p
-
Ok, now if the arguing starts over I'll lock the thread for good an ban anyone involved for a week. Better - I'll ban anyone involved for a week, and the person who started it for a month.
-
What about foreign / regional swearwords?'
-
Dammit. And I was just about to use my CRYHAIRYMUTA acronym.
-
awwww Styxx, i wasn't really arguing :( :sigh:
i was just humoring an0n
-

In that case I suppose that nobody would understand what you are saying, so it wouldn't really matter. :D
...but I WILL NOT tolerate things such as describing what kind of excrement you'd like to dump into whoever's mother's open mouth.
This really had me laughing... :D
-
So when we wish to empahsise a point and berate someone, instead of saying:
"I'm gonna **** your *** in the ****** every *** night until she ****s in my**** because you're a biggotted ********* who should have a **** ***'d up his *****"
We'd have to say thing like:
"I whole-heartedly disagree with your reasoning and wish to make it know to the general population that the manner in which you dress is somewhat reminiscent of a male prostitute"
???

*quack*
Like sheiBe, or merde, or "Vous est une lecher du merde", or "Ma cul sur vous nez".

Ahh, well what about scrottocks, then?

an0n won't be easily beaten in a swear contest :p
-
You are quite correct.
-
Time to break out the Shakespearean insults!
Thou notty-pated fool!
Thou bull's pizzle!
and worst of all:
Thou Prince Of Wales!
-
yo! cut that. I for one don't want language filters back. I still remember the gay... good old times, when we had the half-page wide avatars.
anyway, a lot of useless spam and swearing has been caused by the KT-Stealth standoff, that KT finally put an end to yesterday. Now that that's over, and once an0n gets another 'accidental' ip ban for a while, I guess it´ll go away.
Though I quite like the expressions our young illustrious rebel uses.;7

It could be said, by those who are of a favourable temperament towards me, that I am what may be colloquealy described as "the shiznit".

Should such an instance be noticed by me, I would most certainly be forced to describe the affending administrative personage, quite harshly, as someone who gains a sensual pleasure and general state of arousal at any and all times when a male phalus should come (I mean no pun at this instance) into the range of their visual or olfactory senses.

And then get edited.
I can do this all day. :D
Anyhow, I'm sure everyone knows by know I'm rather more leniant on this topic than Sandwich - it'd be rather hypocritical if I wasn't - so I'm just asking you guys, on behalf of our more sensitive admins, to cool it and clean up your language a bit.

If I promise to refer to you as the shiznit for the rest of my life, will you go back to rude swearing? I prefer curses I can actually understand after a first reading.

yes, but my brain is currently in an overloaded state due to trigonometry problems, which makes me want to laugh uncontrollably on the street wearing only a cheerleader skirt and a vase on my head

You ask too much, sir. What you ask of me is as asking Newton to take an umbrella with which to protect himself from the harshness of the stellar furnace we lovingly and respectfully call the Sun. Or as asking a young Adolf Hitler to respect life of all religions, races and creeds regardless of their genetic structure of belief systems. As asking the Gods of old to step from their mountain thrones and be cast down amongst not the men of Earth, but the beasts, beasts of burden and the stuff of epic banquets.
In short sir, what you ask is too great a feat for me to perform.

The umbrella thing could realy be useful for avoiding UV rays.
How young Adolf do you mean? He started to hate the jews after his mother died.
I have nothing to say about the gods.
hey I like this, swearing can actually turn into an intelligent discussion. not the other way around as usual

No, the fact that you want pictures of peanut in a schoolgirl getup shows you really need a girlfriend....
-
Mwuahaha.
Through my eloquence and gentlemanly defiance of the rules, as laid down by this discussion board's administrative staff, I have redefined the complex socio-psychotic relationships between argumentative discourse and intellectual discussions.
I believe this to be an ample opportunity for those who frequent this technological marvel to begin worshiping me, like unto a God and to begin or continue showing me appropriate quantities of admiration and fear.
In short, good reader; PHEAR ME!!!

Who do you think you are? Rasputin?
-
nah, I'm wayyy past that level. Rasputing didn't get electrocuted. And he didn't survive
*goes to buy a guillotine*
-
He was shot a bunch of times, poisoned with enough arsenic to kill every Rhino in Africa, hung then drowned.
And in the end, the autopsy revealed he died of pneumonia.
They dug him up a few years later and burned his bones.
Very odd.
Oh, and have I mentioned lately that I hate you to such a degree that my modem is starting to growl down the cable line?
All this intellectual **** has got my brain working for the first time in like a year. I'm typing about 10 times the speed I normally type and I'm starting to actually think about doing Maths homework.
Woe is me.
-
I've read 2 books and seen 1 movie about Rasputin, so I should now.
Anyway, I told you, you need to cut the intellectual crap, and go back to hard swearing.
[edit]
as for my brain, I'm currently looking for a cheerleader.
-
and he most certainly didn't die to pneumonia (longue disease). I think it was drowning.. Or cold.
-
I was right.
." During the fateful last evening of Rasputin's life, the conspirators drugged, poisoned, beat and shot him. Yet the staretz survived all these and actually died by drowning when his body, wrapped in a carpet was thrown into the Moika Canal on the Neva River.
-
well ****, this is a *****in' announcement :yes:
-
Swearing is passe. Being pompous is in now.
And Rasputin died of pneumonia. Which is caused by things damaging you lungs. IE, water.

(this is a hilarious reference to the first episode in the second half of season 4 of Farscape. If you haven't seen it, then you seriously won't get this joke.)

Upon reading this, I have a new found respect for my fellow boardmembers. Happy go lucky me.
err, maybe just an0n and shrike.

Most refreshing. I've always held that the deployment of intelligent insults is far more effective than crudity. It is to be hoped that this becomes the norm on HLP. :D

an0n gets his own little space in my heart now. right next to G Dubya :D

I have but one word to say:
BELGIUM!

The admins are right, cursing just shows the lack of self control...
Cursing leads to wickedness..

Ah, so instead of something like
You are a stupid ******* ************* idiot and all your **** arguments are ******* wrong and you don't know a **** thing and you ******* suck!!!
we can now write something similar to
It is quite apparent that the collection of particles enclosed within your skull is remarkably lacking in its cognitive capabilities and does not fall into the general category of a human brain because it causes the continual generation of logically fallacious and inconsistent ravings in your posts, the feeble attempts at arguments contained therein easily countered by the least intelligent of monkeys, along with the consistent misidentification of coffee cups for donuts (only a math fanatic will get that one), so it is advisable to have you deported to an asylum at the soonest opportunity.
You know, I like this style... :D :yes:

Every time you say a naughty word, you make the baby Jesus cry in his manger and the bad devils fly in through your mouth.
Damn, I mean that to be a kinda religious-nut parody, but instead I sound like Stealth. Never mind.
I guess it's time to invent new curses, then.
You, good sir, are a billywanker!

I find your rudimentary forms of logic rather disturbing.
If sticks and stones could break ones bones, then what good would come to by belittling ones ego on a system based upon words do?

It's kinda hard to email a rock.
Or, at least, to get any good velocity off doing so.

I find your rudimentary forms of logic rather disturbing.
That is because the aforementioned collection of particles as applied to you is not quite up to its task. In my humble opinion, due to this deficiency, you exhibit poorer behavior than a powerfactorial function of order -1 but yet have as simplistic a mind as a linear polynomial.
:D

oh pish posh you good for nothing talliwacker

Your lack of competency at the invention of new words for use in insults is so laughable that it pales in comparison even to my somewhat uncreative phrases.
bah, I'm getting bored of writing all these big words; I'm going to go back into fred2 for a while... :p :D

it is apparent by the lack of sufficient haughtyness in your tone of speach that you are infact a vitamin c deffiecient american, who may or may not be a fanatic of the well known baltimore ravens, if not for sheer pleasure and sexual arosement, then for jumping on a community bandwagon of wealth and glory.
