Then why do you keep on posting about it?


Frank didn't suggest any rules, zqwerty. He was talking about an interesting programming challenge, as I understood it.

As I read it, he would like the forum to delete any sentence with the word **** and such in it, so people can't guess what the rude words are by the leftover asterisks that are currently used.


"been told we have young family members who's parents have or might complain about my posting on this topic, which in fact I was trying help out those parents by stopping their children falling and getting stuck in the groove, by been over exposed to this word. Yet in some others post we have that magic letter followed by three asterisks and ending in 'ing'. If one can not work out that word, one would not have a high enough IQ to be able to log on here at this web site forum, you may as well use the other letters in place of the three asterisks.

Quite frankly I dont think this is acceptable, from what I was told on Wednesday."


I think you need to get with reality, Frank. The F word and others exist, and people use them. You cannot shield children from them for ever. If they don't read them (or their **** equivalents) here, they will see\hear them somewhere else.

Do you want to censor entire paragraphs and sentences in all TV shows too? All Books? everything? If you walk down the street and hear someone say '****' are you going to blast an air horn in his face so nobody can hear what he's saying and get offended? It just doesn't work, does it? Remember how they banned alcohol in USA? That didn't stop everyone and their uncle brewing their own, did it?

Either you go insane and try to turn everything into a Orwellian 1984-esque dictatorship or you just get over the fact that some people are going to say the F-word.


It's up to their parents to be responsible and teach them that they shouldn't use the words, in my opinion - but I doubt that will work very well either, to be honest.

It is censored, by the thoughts of our leaders.

Well **** me silly, this thread is hilarious, I can barely comprehend his post.

Edit: Looked at his other posts and can barely comprehend them either. He very well could be the biggest troll in the west.

You have just won the only 'intelligent responser' to this thread when you said "Next insult on this thread gets an infraction."
To take this to the next level, you need to send me $10,000 co I can afford to get a breath taking award made and sent to you. It can sit in your hallway (or where ever)
Glowing bright from the award in any dark night will be the words "I enjoy infractioning people"

Perhaps, this is Metla setting us up for some kind of troll-of-epic-proportions which will lead to the apocalypse next month??
