So, these word filters...

[The Good Reverend Roger]

...Just trashed a bunch of my rants.  They don't change back when you remove the word filters.



I'm wondering how much of LOBB has been fucked with.

No one removed the word filters, so the words don't change back. They are removed now.

Thank you.

Also, given that the database isn't affected, I will continue posting LOBB here on schedule.

I still think that word filters - even temporary - are assbaggery, though.

WHEW! 

Because it would have SUCKED missing the rest.

Or sending cash to SG.

I want to make it clear that this wasn't some sort of threat.  It was simply a reaction to my (mistaken) impression that anything I wrote could be permanently fucked by someone trying to be funny.

Didn't see it as a threat.
Just a reaction to years of work being permanently borked, which seemed to be the case for awhile.

I was so fucking mad I had sparklies in my eyes.

Undoing the word filters changes the text back to original. Or at least, it always has. If a recent update to the software has changed that I'm unaware of it.

I haven't had that experience, but I also haven't previously erased my cache, which I have since been told will show the original text.

Still, as a matter of principle, word filters are bullshit.  They're a means of denying someone the right to speak their mind.  And though I consider RWHN, for example, to be the very epitome of the CoN, he still should have the same right to speak his mind as you or I have.  It's the sort of shit EBS & Mol do, not the sort of shit we do.  Or should do.

I agree. There may be times where it's appropriate as a joke, but changing key words in an attempted serious discussion isn't a good idea. And I say thins having been guilty of it myself before.
