got a warning about suspending chat privs for typing *scupcake* on 200. filter needs fixing.
dammit, does it on here to. ok without the spaces: *s-n-i-g-g-e-r*
-
Well jeez, I just can't understand why that would be filtered. [/sarcasm]
-
if you meant - snicker - then you need to learn to spell
if you meant to type a word most used to describe black people in a derogatory manner, but hide it with an s in the beginning, you need to grow up and be muted.
-
From what I can find on Dictionary sites the word in question means the same as "snicker".
From "The Free Dictionary, by Farlex":
S-----r
Noun
a quiet and disrespectful laugh kept to oneself
Verb
to utter such a laugh [variant of snicker]
-
I'm not playing dumb here - I know why its filtered.
snicker and s-n-i-g-g-e-r are synonyms. snicker is hardly ever used in english although widespread in US english, I always assumed s-n-i-g-g-e-r was also in use in US english (I may be wrong on this.) If you say snicker to a brit they think you are talking about a Mars bar with peanuts in.
I'd just like the pattern matching to ignore s-n-i-g-g-e-r, because its a great (and legitimate) word. maybe its the only example of a legitimate word which has a banned word as part of it? cant think of any other examples off the top of my head.
this is the difference in PERL:
s/nicker/lover/ /* as it is now
s/[^s]nicker/lover/ /* allows snicker through but catches nicker
-
Even if they took it off the list you would probably either get .reported or end up having to explain it to a bunch of pissed off people every time you used it. Also you know there are some out there who would use it in a tasteless manner. Now that I think about it we should have the same filter in game that we have in here. :)
-
Time to find a new word.
Chuckle
Chortle
Guffaw
Plenty of them out there.

I understand where RT is coming from here. Certainly in English, it is a lot more common to say snig.... instead of a common junk food which the glaswegians deep fry :lol I would say it without thinking, therefore I could be muted? I probarbly wouldn't know what it was I had said. I second RT's request to let this word through. Crickey, I could come up with hundreds of words that are said in Scots that would probarbly get me banned as well. At least Snig... is recognised by a portion of the community

hehe spikes, I assume there should have been <sarcasm></sarcasm> tags around that one :)

Rule 12 should be changed to read " All posts should be in the American language", as it does not resemble the Kings English in any way.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled BBS.

I hope thats sarcasm there too. With this game being played by people from ALL over the world it's almost impossible to say you "have to speak/type English (American)."

I say rule 12 should apply.
12- All posts, in public forums, should be made in the English language.
:P
-
slover?
What about "niggardly," can I say that?
-
nope you're plainly trying to hide a banned word in there. ban, and then burn him! :furious
</sarcasm>
for spikes ;-)

The thing about that is...we don't really speak English. We speak American...a form of English. People from England speak English :D

Never heard the word RT used, Snicker, is a common word. No offense or anything but are you from the South? lol
-
Southern England yes :)
-
ahhh I get it now, I'm from the Chicago area we have our own way of talking, and words we choose, unfortunately we usually butcher the langauge in our own special way.

Isn't that a candy bar?

Same here...the 65th "figthing axles" gets me warned all the time

SHEESH SHEESH (yes, twice)
First, scupcake isn't the N word, nor has it ever been.
Second, this much concern about something like this is a bit dispiriting. Since there is a simple synonym, and you know it, the problem is what? If a word is filtered, and you are trying to express a thought, use the friggin synonym.
There are serious problems facing our little world. HO, Ramming, Bomb and Bail, etc. Not to mention the roll rate of my P47N in a 425IAS 30deg dive starting from 45deg off horizontal (to right) is almost 1 second off for 395deg escape roll.
Have Fun, Fly Well
