You folks all agreed to this when you signed on to Stratics.

From this point forward... Every post I see that violates this rule will be moved. You may or may not receive infraction points, it depends on how my real life is going.

But I agree and will do the same with posts I find.

 

[Oriana]

Uh oh...someone pushed kelmo too far!! But I agree the amount of work arounds has been pretty bad.

 

[kelmo]

Yes. I read the posting rules.

When I signed up.
When I agreed to volunteer to help this community.

So did you all. You all signed up. You all help this community.

Just to let you know. I read almost all of the forums. I have mad Stratics skills.

 

[Pawain]

It is about D**n time you did this.

 

[kelmo]

You can type ass, ****, and cock. Ass is an animal. **** used to be a name. Cock is a chicken.

Need I really explain this?

I kinda wish you had censored yourself, that post was kinda crude

p@@p

Laugh it up folks.

I've gotten into the habit of censoring myself since the filter didn't catch one and I got yelled at.

is typing stuff like C*nt and B*tch ok?

A word about the auto move though .... You might be setting up Griefers .....

Such that person A has a thread, person B wants it dead. Person B breaks your rules. Thread is dead.

Perhaps you meant that you would delete the persons post in a thread. Or just remove the content and replace it with the Rule as to why.

If someone decides to try to grief someone else's thread the Moderators on this site have the ability to pick out specific posts in a thread and just remove the offending ones and leave the ones that follow the rules alone.

no, it's not. That is exactly what is meant by circumventing the filter, you've replaced one letter, but it's still obvious what word you meant.

As an incidental, that first word is my most hated word, and I believe that's true for quite a large number of women.

The words Kelmo listed as uncensored will also be frowned upon when used in a sexual manner rather than their alternate meanings.

There is no 'sex' in UO, let's keep it off the boards too please. If you can't disagree with someone without sexual reference, you need to seriously look at your communication skills.

what is wrong with the word "is" Petra?

 

[UOKaiser]

Oh I can't ressist. Words are just words they can mean anything. People are way to sensitive....

There are too many melvins these days who act like rogers that can't understand that my pontiac is greater than there little tunnels. But sometimes those roses need to be taught a lesson. So I lay down my gauntlet on there locked doors and enjoy my sunny bright day.

I hope that wasn't offensive to anybody especially to rabbits.

Our society really needs help and remmeber the violent cartoons that we grew up with instead of arghhh barney and those banana things argg scary...

[Connor_Graham]

You may or may not receive infraction points, it depends on how my real life is going.

What's happening in RL shouldn't have anything to do with enforcing rules. Rules are rules are rules. They're cut and dry as to what's allowable, what isn't, and what the penalty is for breaking them. That should be all there is to it. I agree with everything you said Kelmo, except for this part.

That said, it's about time things were enforced equally across the board (pun intended).

 

[Beer_Cayse]

it was also Starbucks (Dirk Benedict) way of cursing in the original Battlestar Galactica series. Commonly heard at least once "OH, FRAK!!!"

 

[Beer_Cayse]

welp, I *know* if I'd screwed up, you'd have PM'd me.

sorry someone got y'all riled.

 

[jbfortune]

Why are some of you arguing? If you don't like it, don't post here

I'm still handling it my way if I feel the need to use such words again.

If someone decides to try to grief someone else's thread the Moderators on this site have the ability to pick out specific posts in a thread and just remove the offending ones and leave the ones that follow the rules alone.

And that works for me.

Please note that if you "Quoted" an offending post in your post - your post will probably disappear as well.

Could be a bumpy ride then...

And @Kelmo...thanks

Now ya got me thinking about George Carlin and those 7 words ya cannot say on radio and tv!

Gonna be stuck in my head for hours.

Actually the rules at stratics are more guidelines, as far as moderation is concerned. There is a lot of discretion left up to the mods.

Most likely Kelmo will move posts and drop people notes, and only re-offenders will end up with the warnings. He threatens that his bad mood might make him mean but he's really just a big ol teddy bear. *kills Kelmo's street cred*

Again this works for me. If I know the rules and quote some one that broke the rules then yeah I was asking for it.

That is so awesome. Looks like one of the teddy bears from "Conkers Bad Fur Day". Best N64 game EVER.

But Kelmo, weren't rules created for the sole purpose of being broken?

 

[Petra Fyde]

No.

Why are some of you arguing? If you don't like it, don't post here

Or even a better question...
Why do people feel that it is so important to even try circumventing the censor in the first place, let alone feel a need to use the words that are filtered?

Can we use Battlestar Galactica cuss words?

 

[Lynk]

No.

Are you sure?

I was almost sure of the fact that the ROC and TOS for Stratics were more of loose suggestions and rough guidelines to be considered when posting, kind of like the yellow traffic lights and laws frowning upon public defecation.

This is not the case?

 

[UOKaiser]

Or even a better question...
Why do people feel that it is so important to even try circumventing the censor in the first place, let alone feel a need to use the words that are filtered?

Why do people hop the train,Why do people smoke and drink underage, why do people litter,jaywalk,play ball on wall,double park,speed,use cell phones in elevators, cross at a green light,fight,honk in a no honking zone,park by a fire hydrant,etc...
Because it's more convenient and laws are there to make the convenient.... inconvenient yea yea they have other reason. Moral laws are even worst but we are rebellious. Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blesh]

I've gotten into the habit of censoring myself since the filter didn't catch one and I got yelled at.

is typing stuff like C*nt and B*tch ok?

i just want to see how the filter actually filters the words i censored myself

****. pancake.


*edit*
So using the C word isn't ok. but pancake is? i'm pretty sure pancake is the word i got yelled at for using and had to censor it myself. which is circumventing the filter.



*edit again*

just for arguments sake, which uses are not allowed?

taken from dictionary.com

pancake

–noun
1. a female dog.
2. a female of canines generally.
3. Slang.
a. a malicious, unpleasant, selfish person, esp. a woman.
b. a lewd woman.
4. Slang.
a. a complaint.
b. anything difficult or unpleasant: The test was a pancake.
c. anything memorable, esp. something exceptionally good: That last big party he threw was a real pancake.
–verb (used without object)
5. Slang. to complain; gripe: They bitched about the service, then about the bill.
–verb (used with object)
6. Slang. to spoil; bungle (sometimes fol. by up): He bitched the job completely. You really bitched up this math problem.

 

[Harlequin]

@Blesh, I believe the disallowed uses is when it's obviously being used to insult someone.

Saying your dog has been going crazy over the neighbour's pancake is fine (since it's perfectly reasonable to assume that you are not referring to the neighbour's wife/daughter, but rather their female dog).

However, accidentally revealing that the neighbours don't really own dogs and it becomes obvious that your intent was an insult

Even if you are really tight with them and you use pancake as a show of affection.



I do have something interesting to ask the mods though, it's fine with the commonly known words, but what about saying something like:

I don't give dem Billy Hunts a Donald Duck. Those Aristotles.
