why is the......

....censored smiley angry?

fk

st

wk

Its entirely possible not to be angry when using these words, however the smiley makes it look like they're being used in anger. Can we not just word filter swears so we see f**k instead of fk ?

I prefer to self censor specifically to avoid mr angry censor smiley, is it ok that I do this? I.e. f-ck sh-t etc.

Why not just use a different word?

Because sometimes only sh-t or f-ck will do.

What about this?


FK

I guess the smilie is angry because they are mostly angry words.

We would rather you just used the automatic swear filter rather than you deciding how you would like to see a word censored. Evading the swear filter is

But it makes me look angry when I'm not

As for evading the swear filter, I'm not evading it. If I were sticking tags in the middle of swear words to make them appear uncensored that'd be evading it, all I'm doing is applying my own filter.

Applying your own filter is the same thing imho, I don't really see what the issue is with just letting the software auto filter for you.
I would think that most people would be able to guess what you are trying to say when the smilie has been applied

Meh ok.

I have to say that I agree with the OP in that swaring, like it or not, is part of out day to day language these days and you will hear it from almost everyone who isn't still trying to live in some recreation of the early C20th.

As such, like with much of our fair language, intonation and tone are all, especially with words that can be taken by some to be offensive. I therefore agree it would be nice if it were possible to chose to use a 'happy' censored smilie, but then again i can just add or

I would suggest that 'evading the sware filter' is about when you type so as to show the intended word in its full glory (the issue it is intended to stop) rather than that rather fetching B oll cks above which I find amusing. I say sir, function creep!!!!

All of the above said in the great scheme of things i really couldn't give a

So the mods would prefer I actually type " fk" rather than type "fk"?

Makes sense.

I guess this could just go round in circles all night, so we might as well end it here. just don't go out of your way to evade the swear filter
