BZPower's Word Filter and You


Black Six

Recommended Posts

Thank you BZP staff for bringing this problem to the RPG community's attention, and addressing all our pressing concerns about the issue. Unless anyone among us has any pressing questions of importance, we should just use our newfound understanding of the bzpower rules, and let this topic be.

Btw, is it alright to censor a couple of letters in a word while keeping just enough that for those people that know the word, they'll know what word it is? Such as turning heck into h*ck?

I believe that counts as a bypass, and therefore is not allowed.

Oh... well... ok. But what about censoring all but the first letter? Like so: Do NOT bypass the filter. -B6? Is that bypassing the filter? Because that's only one letter, followed by three stars that for anyone who doesn't know the word wouldn't mean anything. The filter is supposed to protect younger people from profanity, so is this an acceptable solution?

That would not be the preferred solution. It's best just to avoid such language altogether.

It's a rule. As in, BZPower official rules, rule.

 

Does anybody read the rules anymore?

Rules? What are these rules you speak of? :P Yeah

 

Reading the rules is a must...

"A stranger will always be a stranger unless you give them a chance."

Well yeah, Remembering them is a must right along with reading them.

Wow that's subtle... what is the phrase? Like a bull in a china shop?

"A stranger will always be a stranger unless you give them a chance."

How are the words "The name of the devil's home" and a 4 letter word that starts with D and ends with N considered swears? They don't really offend anyone nowadays and it seems kind of silly to censor a word that no longer offends people.

I don't think this is the right place to be asking that question. This topic is to instruct players not bypass the word filter on this forum, not to discuss whether certain words should still be blocked by said filter or not.
