word filter

[natureisawesome]

Hi, I just wanted to let a request be known. I have been noticing a lot of cuss words that I don't like viewing all the time and I couldn't find a word filter option. I was hoping somehow you could put that option into the website that would filter out somehow unwanted words. I would really really appreciate it.

Thanks for listening

refer to my avatar. it's a way of expressing myself and it will never change.

although, for this idea to work and not piss off countless others and/or start a whole new riot over changes, perhaps a simple 'filter' should be available in the user cp option, to let the user choose to have words filtered or not (And what words) although i don't really see the problem...

i mean, in blatant honesty, if you're offended by cussing (not at you, just general use), you've got alot more problems then worrying about what people on the internet are saying.

Words. Just words.

Infact, if you research some of the "naughty" words you'll find they have amazing pasts.

The C word has amazing history - it USED to be a good thing! Roads where named after it and all sorts.

But again, it's just a word.

if you think a post contains un-necessary language, or any other violation, click on the 'report Post' icon in the top-right corner of the box, it's the red-edged triangle icon ... then, a Moderator can take a look at it, and determine if it's offensive ... (I have a terribly bad habit of cussing in person, but I manage to restrain myself in print) ... :smokin:

Excessive cussing isn't looked upon favorably.
Cheerful exuberance is tolerated but any cussing directed at another member will result in an infraction.
I don't know what else to tell you; try not to take offense at cussing not directed at yourself personally, okay?
This is an unusually polite online community already.

I hope nobody took me the wrong way.

I wasn't saying censor it for everybody. A lot of message boards have word filters in them. I'm not trying to push my beliefs on others I was just suggesting that the word filter option be put into the user panel so people can turn it on if they want.

Yah man that was a perfectly good suggestion,not a terrible idea either, well stated. Personally no swearing bothers me, I swear like and drunken Irishman myself, but you've opened my eyes a bit here in the sense that there are people who don't appreciate it.. (and can be sensible about raising it as a personal issue lol)

I agree that it should be a personal filter, I'm not sure how one would go about implementing it on a message board, I'm not a programmer. If you use firefox, you could probably get a plug-in that censors swearing.

I know that on another message board that i frequent, that you can block entire users posts from showing up. So if there's a poster that you really don't care for, and you're viewing a message that they've posted, it just comes up "You have blocked X user's posts, click here to see".

So yeah, if there's no remedy available directly on the cannabis.com forums, try and see if you can find some filtering software.
