The dreaded asterisk! We should ban all those lil' buggers, too.


Whenever I see an asterisk, I get giddy, because a know a dirty thought has been thunk.

If you see a post that has violated the rules (someone used foul language and our system censored the term OR someone is actively trying to circumvent the rules by using asterisks), please report the post.

So if you think it's going a little too far then let's establish what is and isn't to be penalized. It irks me no end that I receive an infraction for something I have seen at least a thousand times in threads here. Either eliminate/enforce it/ignore it--but keep the playing field level.

TBH I think this is a valid issue...I have no problem receiving an infraction for rudeness or whatever. If this is truly profanity then lets screen it...
You are penalized because some JERK compalined to the moderators. It's not OCN, and it's not the majority of us. It's the over-reactive moderators and the jerks with rice-paper thin skin.

Seriously moderators...chill out. It's not the end of the world if someone complains. I've seen some REALLY big blog sites with comments which are vulgar to the extreme and they don't get shut down. Are we talking cowardice here?

Right, maybe we should run wires into our brains so the orwellian "arbitrators" can determine if a thought crime is about to happen and we can be shocked into submission before the infraction begsin to take shape. Really, do we cater to 12 year olds or adults?

Someone who reports a post that conflicts with the rules we have always had is not a jerk because they have done so. It helps us do our job.

We have always catered to all-ages. We also have always attempted to keep everything here at a professional level. Vulgar terms have never been welcomed.

As Admin said we are a site with proffesionalism in mind. Vulgar comments will not achieve OCN's goal. People who report bad posts are doing the right thing so keep it up guys !.

Also maybe take a read here : http://www.overclock.net/new-members...n-members.html

I'm sorry but all this sensitivity is getting beyond a joke now.

Yeah ok so the post count one was alright but blocking "***" and such?

These things are used all over on the internet nowadays by people of all ages.

We aren't actually saying the word, and if people know what they mean already, is it really going to offend them?

And anyway do we REALLY have anybody here who isn't mature enough to deal with that sort of language when it's represented by the first letter?

Sigh.

As CD said, please do read this thread and my posts for the rationale.

Will it really bother you to post WTH (or something like it) instead?
