Spamming filter
Posted: Thu Jan 31, 2008 8:25 pm
No, not a spam filter but the filter that changes words like spam to spam in this forum!
Ever written the word spam only to find it replaced with the word spam instead? Yeah, even innocuous words like spam, spam and spam get spammed! You can say bacon or eggs (you know where this is going?) but not spam.
So if I was having one of my rants, which I occasionally do (or am), I can't say spam for fear of it being replaced by spam.
Words like spam and spam are being replaced! Where's the sense in that? If I went for a test on my spam at the spam clinic, I couldn't report that my spam was very well thank you!
Here it comes...
So bacon is ok, spam isn't, ham is ok, but spam isn't, eggs is ok but spam isn't....
So going to the cafe isn't a problem anymore with all this spammy spam.
So what can we have then, without any profanity of course
Altogether now....
You can have spam, egg, spam, spam, bacon and spam or....
BUT under no circumstances can you say spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, (you can say) baked beans, spam, spam, spam and spam.
Where was I?
Right just a bit of fun then...
We're all old enough and daft enough to write what we think and I, for one, would like to say it as it is. If anyone does step over the mark I'm sure one of the moderators can replace or delete the offending remark.
Definition of a moderator
"Almost all moderators on all forums can move discussions to different sections of the forum, close discussions, edit the content of individual postings, answer questions (or help people with problems), and stick discussions so they remain visible in their forum section even if no new postings are made to them."
One of my more spammy better rants I think!
So, the question is... do we need a spammy profanity filter?
