Happy Jack Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Forget polls identifying Basschatter's ages ... that's demographics. How about polls identifying Basschatter's preferences ... that's democratics. To take an entirely hypothetical example, if a hypothetical Basschatter were to start a hypothetical poll as to whether or not Basschat should retain the Greatest Profanity Filter Ever Devised By Mere Mortal Man, would anyone care? [And yes, there is a particularly silly & pointless discussion on Talkbass just now.] Quote

Cat Burrito Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Irrespective of any intentions of the OP, I predict this thread may not go well 1 Quote
Skol303 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I personally think that the filter is vaguely amusing and encourages inventiveness 2 Quote
dyerseve Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I think a Pub Carpark section(where anything and everything goes) should be established that is only visible to memebers and the swear filter should be removed for that section only. And yes I stole that idea from HiFi Wigwam 1 Quote
Huge Hands Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I agree to the profanity filter to make the forum more inclusive to budding impressionable teenagers, but I also doff my cap in admiration to whomever edits the filter. The one that replaces the current hot topic involving cold air precipitation when describing someone who has less hardened views than you always makes me laugh. I think that was Dad.... 1 Quote
naxos10 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Dyerseve, I remember that idea from my days as a member of HiFi Wigwam. Still got the T shirt Quote
Dad3353 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 It's all a bit self-defeating in the end. When (not 'if', but 'when'...) 'marmalade sandwich' starts being used as a genuine insult, I'll have to invent another euphemism for the filter to use. I'm compiling a list of 'soft' words to be called up in such circumstances, listed (yes, I'm sad like that...) in alphabetical order. My current favourite for replacing the above example is 'robin', which, of course, will itself have to be replaced once it, in turn, becomes adopted as an uttered profanity. Eventually the wheel will turn full circle and we'll have to recycle 'old' terms, and 'sn0wfl@ke' will again be preferred to whatever nasty word is current in the future. Such is life. Sigh... ...

Cato Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 If it ain't broke why fix it? The creative work-arounds people come up with to bypass the filter are far more entertaining to read than the banned expletives they replace.. 2 Quote
BrunoBass Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I’m still waiting for someone to actually adopt ‘Pink Torpedo’ as a username... 2 Quote
Dad3353 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I've a list of 'members' that would, in my opinion, deserve the epithet. 3 Quote
taunton-hobbit Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Personally, I don't give a flying fVck does it really matter? Quote
fleabag Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 What the flip in a nasty pasties derrière would a poll on Mr and Mrs Silly Billy and tits and maybe even pink torpedos achieve 1 Quote

alyctes Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Don't care. Not my forum, I just wander about in it. If I want to keep doing that, I have to play by the owners' rules. QED. Quote
