Language Filter - Blizzard Sector

**Nethran** · 10-12-2008, 05:22 PM

I've never worked with vbulletin or any other forums, but I was wondering if there was a way to toggle the language filter on/off for yourself, so that you can see what it is that's censored. I was reading a few older threads where four letter words were censored that didn't seem like they would necessarily be bad and had no way of telling what the word was.

I think when certain words are blocked it's because Spit doesn't want people to see them so the censor it probably mandatory.

Also, why is the word tr!pod is censored.

tri-pod is censored because its a webhost i believe

damn it is censored..

Wow...
I think its better for the public anyways.

Well, mayhaps words blocked to prevent advertising could stay blocked, but others could remain? And the filter could be on as a default, the user has to turn it off post-registration? Prolly not possible to do, though, eh?

Edit:
God was censored...

Amazing...
Anyways, yeah, it'd be kinda cool to be able to turn it on and off.

Tr!pod is censored along with a lot of other free web-hosting sites. As people tend to want to spam their crappy free-hosted sites.
