I know i enjoy the occaisional swear, but schools don't. Maybe there should be a switch where we can replace swear words with regular words. My school has a DDR detection thing which reads questionable words. So i'd like to suggest a swear switch. Something that replaces the text, not the data. Know what i am saying? | |||

I think it's a good idea. I wouldn't use it, but there are some users that would want or need this. Like you, for example. It'd have to be something that can be enabled or disabled in your profile though, so people get a choice about whether they want filtering. |

Not like I'd use it either, but it'd be a good addition just for something like this. Sides...it'd be a good use of a image once in a while. |

Writing the code to filter words isn't that hard. After all, if we can filter out certain HTML tags and attributes, finding those words won't be a problem. Maybe if a word is found, that censored image can replace it | |||

What about replaceing bad words with images of the words. An image generating script could accept an encrypted version of the word and render it as an image. The existing shenc/shdec functions could be used. A strong cipher is not needed. |

Like Xkeeper, I think replacing the words with asterisks would be good enough It doesn't need to be really fancy, in my opinion. The idea itself is good for the people that are offended by that kind of thing Adding an option in the user's profile to enable such a function would be a good way of going about doing this, instead of putting it in place for everyone on the board. There's sure to be people out there that don't care whether they read that sort of thing or not. | |||

Originally posted by Karadur well the filtering output would not require any extra work to make it "fancy" as in displaying that censored image. I've actually written something very similar to this for aa project for work dealing with domain names.. the input was a list of domain names, my quick little script would load an external "bad word" list and check to make sure they weren't in the domains and to make sure the domains were of a certain size, without numbers and dashes, et cetera. It was based on effective domain name research and more or less just as a guide for picking a better name. i recommend using an external file or something simliar so a board administrator could easily update the list with new words or variations deemed inappropriate. oh, just thought i'd add that personally i feel the idea is really terrible, but certainly feasible and fairly easily integreated with the board system from a programming standpoint (edited by Gavin on 02-09-05 08:31 PM) |

Just wondering, why do you think it is terrible? If this is something that was going to be forced upon all users, then yes, I would be very very upset about it. But I have no problem with this being made available to those users who would want or need it. If it was going to be forced upon everybody though, then yes, it would be terrible. Cause it wouldn't be though, I think it's good, because it enables users to make a choice. (edited by Tarale on 02-09-05 10:48 PM) |

I used to be very offended by swear words, and was shocked that Acmlm's didn't censor tham and seemed to encourage their use. Now, I'm so used to seeing swear words that it doesn't bother me. Still, that would be a nice feature for people posting from school, work, library, etc. |

Yaaay for choice!! But yeah, if it was forced upon us, I'd be royally pissed off. But I know that that wouldn't happen |

There is a censor that stops malicious code. Or most of it. Yes it's possible, but at the same time I wonder why schools care about thoose filters in first place when they are so easy to get around. My school don't have a single filter. And forcing the censor against the users, that would be worser than moving around a few links. And which words would get censored too?

My school doesn't have a software filter, but they have an extraordinarily strict technology policy. We can only use the computers for class-related stuff. First offense = TWO WEEKS off the computer. | |||

We had rules like that on our old school, I never broke any of them. ...since I did hide whenever I did stuff I wasn't supposed to do. And I still did my work, huzzah for multitasking. |

Most computers in my school have this overirritating program thing that prevents the whole page if it mentions weapons or "hate." Luckily, I found one that doesn't. | |||

That's rather lame...at least last year I was able to complete my research project on biological weapons using the school computers...a LOT of people at school fulfilled research project requirements with reports on weapons of mass destruction, or racism or other forms of discrimination. The teachers even tell us to do them on social issues, and those are definitely social issues. (edited by Banedon on 02-10-05 08:56 PM) |

If you're not bothered by swearing yet it upsets you because of blocking this place, use a proxy. |
