In an effort to bring make folks more inventive in their invective, we’ve (finally) started applying a blacklist of swear words. Which is why some of you foul mouthed misbegotten wretches aren’t seeing your comments going up.

Theres no problem with swearing but it gets pretty boring when you see the same old stuff coming from the same people every other day. So start using your brains, which you all pretend you have, to come up with more inventive ways of expressing yourself.

Its not censorhip, its us bringing your minds into alignment with ours, which is only one of the steps for RiotACT world/Canberra domination.

I think you misspelt that, neander. It should read #@***$**#$…
-We are sticklers for that kind of thing on RA.

Just apply some imagination to the process of denigation folks. Surely refering to someone as “the pox infested spawn of a syphilitic whore” is a darn sight better that calling them a #@*&*$ **#$…

I’ve seen other blogs where swearwords simply become non-swearwords. You end up with people calling each other “motherfidgiting donutheads”, and it takes all the steam out of the argument.

Still, if you’re stopping people from using certain words, it’s censorship. I understand (I think) why you’re doing it, but I think you should own up rather than try and politician your way out of it.

You could always just use special HTML characters, ya silly çûñt

Now just need some folks here from displaying a dose of “It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to” petulance.

bighead, ya silly cunt just use the word 😛

C*NT, well its the easy way to get around swear filters. Years of using a simple * in a word. A list would be good though, just so I can laugh at inappropriate words.

Scrotums.

This is a prungled fine social experiment.

I wonder if there’s any …ing cheese at the end of it?

I admit a list would be handy.

LG, who, as we all know, gets a bit potty mouth when she’s riled.

i’m not whinging, i’m just being a smartass cause i’m bored. (and hey, its what id o best)

At the risk of sounding like a conformist (which we all know I”m not) this site DOES belong to the guys who run it, and if they make rules we really should not whinge about it.

Therefore LG needs a list. She cannot be held responsible.

Surely technology will permit just the offending word to be deleted?

LG has never pretended to have a brain.

maelinar makes a good point.

a list is required.

I’d hate to be on the Say It! button on a 30 paragraph rant to find a word wasn’t acceptable

or I found a way around the shit of a thing.
Can we have a moritoreum on this thread ?
Or an announcement as to when said invective use will be pisssed off ?

how about the word fuck ?

shit – when describing effluent

craps – the game

I never tried slaughtering a goat with my penis.

Perhaps I can forward some emails I have received that might help you Hasdrubhal.

the penis mightier than the sword

If the swearing is putting johnboy off his food, why don’t we just swear late at night?

Rowdy blog made the tagline last time it was used didn’t it ?

JB, if we all take turns hosting a meal would you reconsider ?

(alternatively episode 6: grow your own food so as to be able to afford more beer)

not JB’s fault at all

as the tagline says
“Keep the swearing down, our mothers read this site”

or something close to that

Eating is over-rated JB.

I like being rowdy,

I’d just like to eat as well.

It was the CT’s description last week of RA as “a rowdy blog” – JB is deeply hurt…

Yes Evil, frontbottom = nohope.

Works for me.

Crunchy Nuts – cornflakes?

“had ads for years”

was meant to be there somewhere.

Front bottom.

I smell a conspiracy..

Secret boardroom meetings, (the soon to be) introduction of paid advertising, the introduction of language filtering.

OMG, it hints of commercialisation

“youve changed. i dont know who you are anymore.”

We’ve had years and discouraged profanity for years.

Now we’re just asking for more imaginative language.

Well, I’ll be rogered.

From another thread … “music critic cum Chief Minister”

well ive discovered one.

pretty soft jb…

advertising, kiddie friendly language…

youve changed. i dont know who you are anymore.

So, can we assume that if we steer clear of “Shift”, “Funk” or “Cult”, we’ll pretty much be right.

Better to keep you all guessing.

Vaseline.

is this a secret list ?

may i suggest an invesigation of the Aussie invective. you priate cove frequenting budgie tongues.

How about the Woody Allen, “He suggested I should go forth and multiply – though not using those exact words”.

ROFL, almost spit my tea upon the keyboard.

see, much more inventive

Bitch with a capital “C”?

You people really need to get out more 🙂

What a wowd of crankers you all are. Just uck forth and leave that munt the Chief Cinister alone.

Foccacia ?

Cockburn St, Curtin.

Wankel rotary engine?

pontitification

Is softheads, for example, banned? Or Standope?

You do realise that the byproduct of any anti-swearing regime is that it encourages people to test it out all over the place, right?

barking toad11:01 am 19 Jan 07

Please publish the list jb.

Sometimes it’s difficult to express the desired level of disgust at the activities of someone like, say, stanhopeless, without resorting to the good old gutter level favourites.

Maybe you could program an automatic word conversion so that a particularly descriptive word becomes, say, “Rex Hunt”.

“…I can’t say the letter B…..”

“You mean C?”

“Yes, B.”
