CyberDruid

Having recently been made aware that the dreaded "F" in many acronyms is considered profanity here on the Forum I would suggest that acronyms be added to the filter that screens all other profanity on the forum. Any acronym with the dread "F" could simply be eliminated.

Acronyms such as: GT*O, ST*U, Q*T, WT*, N*W, O*T, *U etc etc could simply appear as ****, ****, ***, ***, ***, **.

Not only would this protect us all from the dread "F" it might save some of us from a few infractions...or not...

Just a another one of those Dread CyberDruid suggestions

(please note: no actual profanity was used here....just the **** asterick...to make a point...thanks )

Honestly, there'd be no need for this (or any other universal filter) if people just filter themselves, you know?

Doesn't QFT = Quoted For Truth?

If so, I don't get why they would outlaw that. And seriously, banning letters now?

Kidwolf - the phrases would be added to the filter, not the letter.

TBH, I find myself using some like WT* without meaning to, because I don't think of it as badly as swearing...

That's never going to happen. No matter how many warnings you give, certain people will always use profanity.

I received two points a few days ago for telling someone to GT*O.

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...

*** FU man... **** and ****

Kidding of course...and I do see your point. People needs to l2speak without profanity, but I do not think all F acronyms should be censored... such as the lesser used WYF (Where are you from?)
They need to be pre-defined like the current ones... or something similiar, because I know if you write the bad word of crap, it gets censored, even if you write it with 1's or such.
