SDS Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 With the Sabres change in fortune we are getting more traffic lately. Just because you don’t see everyone posting doesn’t mean they’re not reading. Please do not “disguise” F-bombs by changing the spelling, etc. we have had complaints. 3 1
Eleven Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 SDS--do you mean don't write the f word with an asterisk in the vowel spot as I often do? If so, I apologize and will try my best not to do so in the future. Or do you mean something else?

GASabresIUFAN Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 I hate to say this, but some people need to get a life. Complaining about an f bomb on a board is a little sad. 9

I'm going to try to heed Scott's request. (Try. Because I"m awfully partial to that asterisk.) I've never dropped an F bomb on this board or any other, but I stand by my comment. If this board had people posting like that with ever single post, Scott, myself, Freeman, you, Duda etc would have had those people banished along time ago. Sometimes it's best to live and let live. I'm sick of people complaining about every single thing. Yes we need decorum but we also need a little thicker skin. 6 1

I'm going to try to heed Scott's request. (Try. Because I"m awfully partial to that asterisk.) Me personally, I think that since the filter is active, it’s clearly there for a reason. I’ve always found it odd that people actually have to make the conscious effort to dance around it. I could never train myself to make the same exact typo every single time. That said, it is kind of funny to see someone complaining about people complaining. 1 1

Stoner Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 I wonder if the filter doesn't inadvertently encourage use of naughty words. I've been posting a joke expression after the Sabres win, and the f-bomb is asterisked-out. But it's obvious and implied, so people are almost certainly hearing it in their heads. What help is the filter? These words are used very sparingly here, and almost always at times of high passion or excitement. I don't think there's a problem. You'd think a parent would prevent a child from visiting a hockey forum meant for adults, assuming that the subject matter is adult is nature. That said, I guess we can all do better to make it friendly for everyone. Still... it's hockey! 3
dudacek Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) I always enjoyed the filter on the old board because it made swearing so easy without ever actually swearing. Didn’t have to watch my words. Now I have actually type out the asterisks. Or maybe not in the future. Edited November 28, 2018 by dudacek

Doohicksie Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 Mierda santa, SDS? Really? (I figured out a new way around the language filter. Use another language.) I'll show myself out. 1
dudacek Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 I grew up with a dad who never swore in front of my mom or sisters and ended up mostly like him. But I can be really foul mouthed in competitive situations. I vividly remember slamming my stick against the fence in frustration in a hockey game and bellowing out a massive f-bomb only to see my six-year-old niece unexpectedly standing right there staring at me with wide eyes. There is a time and place and this is a public forum.
GASabresIUFAN Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 I didn't even know we had a filter until this thread. I really kind of thought that using reasonable language was a given and that anyone who couldn't express themselves without resorting to dropping bombs was going to get tossed anyway.

What SDS is saying is that if you(we) ingrates are going to swear, use spellcheck so the filter can do its job.
Wyldnwoody44 Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 What the actual ***** SDS, dealing with the ***** that comes out of 11s mouth and all the other ***** heads.... Hehe, just making sure the filter works, and we shall oblige your request

Seems you're assuming it's meant for adults, but SDS has a different idea about that. Also, I'm completely ok with my 6 year old reading / hearing any words that you ***** can dream up, but I don't fault anyone else for their parenting choices. 1
North Buffalo Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 I respect it sort of, my kids have heard most of all of it except maybe some versions in other languages... I have a special needs kid who didnt start talking til he was 5, and as my wife said when he was diagnosed she would be happy if the only thing he said was the f bomb... be careful what you wish for.. because he now speaks pretty decently and clearly can say the f bomb to her.. that being said ill try to watch it.
