Will it censor other languages? Spanish/French/German?

have you tried typing the 'fu,' then cutting & pasting the 'ck'? works for me.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 12 April 2007 16:36 (eighteen years ago)

Fcuk. I invariably type it that way anyway, so I usually just leave it.

I believe "flip" and "forget" are standard.

a linux nerd writes: fsck = file system check (used wrongly it can screw up your hard drives)

i had to write a profanity filter for work. it had a blacklist for all the swearwords and anything containing these were rewritten with ****s. there was also a whitelist to get around the Scunthorpe problem. we didn't bother with anything else - it's easier to get around stuff than it is to block it.

I didn't even know workplaces did this! I'm going to send a "Fuck." to all my coworkers now just because I can.
If I can :/

My predecessor here wrote a very basic profanity filter, but forgot about the Scunthorpe problem. As we have an office in Scunthorpe, this was a bit of an oversight.

We don't bother with a profanity filter any more - its purpose was to catch porn spam, so I replaced it with a half-decent spam filter.

I am a big fan of replacing u's with v's - (eg fvck off you cvnt) so it looks like ROMAN SWEARING.

nope :-(

Solution is of course not swearing.

Accents sometimes work (ctrl alt vowel if you're using an English keyboard - fúck). If you can use html in the message you might be able to get by it by, for example, opening and closing a tag in the middle of the word with nothing inside it (ie - fu<b></b>ck). This works on plenty of message boards, pages seem to scan for swearwords before they look for html/bbcode.

i am with that c0ckfarmer DV on this one.

Oh ja?

― StanM, Friday, 13 April 2007 13:23 (eighteen years ago)

En jij, lul, kan dat niet? ;-)

― nathalie, Friday, 13 April 2007 13:24 (eighteen years ago)

Then again I once posted on a mailing list: I don't want to bugger you too much.

hahahahahaha The amount of complaints I got.
