A Google Lens Reverse Search (Benji and mine’s secret sauce) shows that they’re using it as code to say KYS, then acting mysterious in the thread, telling others that they’ll only infer what it means by reaching out via DM. Children.
Huh? what’s KYS?
A phrase bullies use to vulnerable people to make them consider ending their lives.

Let’s make threads from random Reddit posts.
AliceAmber strikes again. Seems the mods underneath B-Dubs smell blood in the water.

I can probably think of a couple.
We all know who Trump is at this point. And now we know it was held by another abuser.

"Ali Abassi and all of his creative endeavors must be erased from human memory, immediately."
So over in the arrogant angry user quarantine thread, a discussion about using word filters broke out due to the new very reasonable and logical ‘cunt’ rules:
echoshifting wrote:They can't blanket ban slurs. That is not a tenable solution. Think about it for a minute.

morrigan, of course wrote:Word filters don't work in practice. It would mess up all previous post histories, and you couldn't even, say, "someone called me a cunt today, this sucks" (which wouldn't be bannable at all), or have any kind of discussion that references the word, etc.
davepoobond wrote:I don't know the exact way xenforo works for filters but usually they don't do a straight up text replacement since you may accidentally filter out the word "the" and replace it with "poop." So I'm not sure why it would screw up post histories — Not to mention the word would be banned so it wouldn't matter if it censored previous posts in theory.
I would think you could have discussion referring to the word by simply saying "c-word." Similar to what is happening now. As long as discussing in such a way wasn't banned but it isn't circumventing anything.
While the example you mentioned is funny, usually the filters would have wild cards, case sensitivity or exclusions if it was really necessary.
And of course it is a trade off. Instead of having pages-long policy on 99% of the time it isn't allowed to be used, it should just be filtered out. Is it really worth the headache to allow it to be used the limited amount it currently is if there is such hand-wringing about it already?
My preference (not that it actually matters) is it isn't banned at all, let people say whatever they want — and I never use the word and never will. But it is very head scratching to see the hoops created and the drama over people being banned for it when the solution can be simple…
Quote:I don't like the idea of word filters. The idea of anything I say being auto-edited to something I didn't say is uncomfortable. Ultimately as was said in the notice - it's a case of self moderation. If people cannot be trusted to not use a word that causes offense, then they shouldn't complain about other heavy-handed moderation efforts.

The forum already has word filters, you are already experiencing whatever discomfort you imagine they would bring you, this would just be another one.
Quote:The difference between a banned site and banned words is vast. One is an unreliable source of information and one is censorship of a term - for better or worse. I cannot in good consciousness agree to words being censored because people can't bring themselves not to use it.
Quote:This is once again the hand-wringing that is headscratching.
The only result of allowing the word to be posted without a word filter is more bans.
the vocabulary is already being restricted. You get banned for using the word! You can't honestly say everyone who uses the word uses it with the intent to be banned.
I do wonder why they never use word filters.
Pretty sure you can drop a hard-R on era too...It's funny that The Coli has more restrictive profanity rules (unless every poster over there is uniformly self-editing to "fukk" and "shyt").

That would actually
- Resolve their problem (we dont want people to type cunt)
- Communicate clearly that something isn't okay (when you type it its censored)
- As below, enforce evenly across the whole userbase
Absolutely no opportunity for moral grandstanding, ego boosting, gaslighting, or tut tut-er-ing
Gotta let the reset mods get some satisfaction.
I don't like word filtering or getting pressed over swearing in general, but like if you're gonna do it...

You know why you don't use word filters?
Because you have the low minimum of expectations that people won't be assholes.

you're perfectly allowed to say the word, it's just that freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences
I think the bire should ban and word filter cunt into disagreeable.

They just expect people to forget about it, and for the most part they do, as the general audience on ResetEra just want to chat about PlayStation/Xbox stuff and politics.
