I was watching campus today. Is cursing without bypassing the filter a silenceable offense now? Someone did that on campus "*** you" and got silenced. If this is true I should have gotten my sixth silence by now
I got a warning from pimd for having asterisks in my status, so it's quite possible that's the direction it's going.
One mod has seen my status which has a curse word but censored by asterisks, but has not made any warning to me. Hmm..
If it's censored by asterisks, it's filtered. Why the hell would you silence someone if it's already censored? That's what the filter is for. Unless you bypass it, you can't be silenced. 8lah. ,_,
I prefer it this way, being silenced even though covered up. That way people get away with less garbage that they say.
Where's Rose at? She was always good at clarifying this stuff. As far as I knew, you could use words that are filtered as long as they weren't directed in a hateful towards someone. Ex. This shit sucks. would be ok. Ex. Fuck you (person's name) would not be ok. That's been my understanding for a loooooong time. I only mention Rose cause I think it was her that clarified this long ago on another thread. If the rules have changed, we should be let known. Or maybe the new mods need a refresher/lesson from the ones that actually know ToU
