Hi,

Um the "bad language filter" is blocking the word p**** (p a r s e.) It just looks weird, and I wanted to point it out :)

Riffola, I know you are new! -but *please* don't use the "p" word! Just kidding :)

must be the **** (A R S E) hehe :D

I feel that the REALLY BAD WORD p.a.r.s.e.r is'nt such a good thing. It plainly looks stupid to me... and do we have a lot of people cursing at each other???

nope... (plus there are easy ways to vurse without saying it literally)

I think perhaps that was out of deference to the non-coders here. The P**** word can cause traumatic reactions among them. Fortunately, it's sp****ly used...

It's probably not all that important, though. It's not like this is a cooking site, where there might be frequent mention of, say, p****ly ... though it does point up that these word checkers are a bit of a f****.

ROTFLMAO. Goodness... I think you can skirt around the censor feature (I mean in the admin side of the board), but I'm not sure how. Too funny.

I haven't worked this script specifically; but there's usually a separate naughtywords.txt file or some such, which can be easily edited. Why they would consider **** an especially offensive word, however, I don't know. I believe it's mostly an English usage for the word ass... which, of course the, censor script happily passes.

censorwords (From the Admin page of vB)

Type all words you want censored in the field below. Do not use commas to separate words, just use spaces. For example, type "dog cat boy", rather than "dog, cat, boy." If you type "dog", all words containing the string "dog" would be censored (dogma, for instance, would appear as "***ma"). To censor more accurately, you can require that censors occur only for exact words. You can do this by placing a censor word in curly braces, as in {dog}. Signifying "dog" in the curly braces would mean that dogma would appear as dogma, but dog would appear as "***". Thus your censor list may appear as: cat {dog} {barn} barn
Do not use quotation marks and make sure you use curly braces, not parentheses, when specifying exact words.
---

So if you want a r s e and not anything else like p a r s e, edit the censorword and the admin page and add {} around that word.

Hey Chicken, I'll try not to use "p" word anymore, it'll be hard as it is ingrained into my soul, but I will do my best to avoid using it and hence avoid the wrath of the CDS. :)

Btw the Merriam-Webster Thesaurus doesn't show any entries for the unmentionable word, while the dictionary does list it.

It is now a farce that you cannot sparsely use the word parse, thankx to Racin' Bob and Riffola (for bringing it up). :)

We a**reciate th**, Chicken. Will **ere be any problem with any o**er letter combinat**ns?

***s g****** ***** f******* ***l s*** *** p****!







*thinks he shouldn't have added the entire Merriam-Webster Dictionary to the list*

LOL,

parse off

go parse yourself

hehe :D

Damn, they fixed it.

Having read all of the previous blatantly offensive language, I'm going to have to do 50 Hail Marys. I may not be Catholic, but I don't give a fu...shi...dam...darn.

(*bleep* that was *bleep*in close!)

You need not be Catholic to feel irrelevant guilt -- though it certainly helps.
