I was doing what I normally do when I'm bored, that being reading the threads in the trash can. After a while I began to notice something.

Alot of n00bish members get flamed and warned about their typing and told to correct it. I then noticed that instead of correcting their impossible to read posts they lash out and cry like a baby. So then I thought....

A word filter for the board might be a cool idea.

You know like in Microsoft word. Have the filter search for things like "k" and replace them with "ok", "idk" with "I don't know" and so on.

I think it would be good idea. What do you think?

No, because then the Mods wouldn't have anyone to make fun of.

Plus, it makes it easy to find whos serious and whos not...

Huh? What kind of logic is that?

Anyways, It's been suggested before, but I believe it wasn't implemented for a reason.

Not a bad idea, but some people type like that for a reason. Either because they want the attention, they're here to be dickwads, or it's a sarcastic/joking thing.
It would help for those members here that talk that way out of habit, thus making their posts stupefied and difficult to read.
But if it's already been brought up and shot down.. then that's that.

Oh gee, nice image *adblocks*

It would be a LOT of work to make any kind of filter. Nice idea by concept, but hard to implement, I would think.

I think you're being sarcastic. =o
And just to add, a filter that changes "read the faq" to "postcount++" would rock.

Zeon is replaced with shit.

And as my post did show, it's possible to get around filters like that easily.

I think this is a bad idea. This just sounds like a way to encourage lazy people, making them have nice looking posts... Why not have a script making it so uppercased letters appear everywhere it's needed etc while we're there ?

The way people type is one of the things that make you learn to know them... It shouldn't be messed with. It would be lame to have posts like "omg wtf" turning into "Oh my god, what the fuck?"... ¬_¬

Danielle: it looks like there is filter code in thread.php for certain words, which has been put into the board's code by someone. It doesn't appear to filter on newreply.php, though, hence why the difference in appearance.

It's the same code that turns [b] into <b>, :) into , and &numposts& into 6860. Someone just added an entry to turn zeon into shit, IIRC because it fit someone by that name.

I can see where you are going but sometimes I'd rather learn Greek then the near impossible to read language of some n00bs here.

I can also understand how some admins do it to joke around or for quicker posts... perhaps if it is considered it could be made to be for certain users... say you tell somebody to type better and they don't. You go into their profile and turn on the filter for that member. It filters them and not others.

And by people who type bad I don't mean people who use an lol every once in a while, hell I use it. I'm talkin about "hey ne of y gys wana hlp me wit som asm 4 my hack olololololololo!!!!1111"

Even if a filter was added, even if you bypassed something like "fuck" it would be

f.uck, fuk and so on ..
See HyperHacker's post ... but really ...
Testing: The word I typed into this window is Zeon -> turned ou to shit - ha, but it doesn't follow upper- and lowecase letters (quote me))

Play Gunbound; swear words are censored, but people know how to swear anyway
People simply need to behave, I know not everyone has to type dozens of pages, but something like "hi im new can u help me plz? I have 2 write 1 text for school." simply makes one looking like an twelve-year old person too lazy to type out everything.

On the other hand, even worse are AOLer - they beat every filter simply

The only thing I would agree on is if you had the ability to turn the filter on and off. You see a noob posting crap, bam, filter on for a translation...

But yeah, if they make typos and stuff (like "lool ogm suppguyz plez?"), the filter will obviously not work.
Also, the filter may bring up problems, like if it changes an URL, for instance...
