Censorship on CB Options

[T00000]

Sooo CB decided to bleep out some of my favorite words and insted of just bleeping out one letter, they change the words to the gayest things: examples- b*tch is now "female dog," "sh!t" is now "****," @sshole is now "A-Hole." Okay. First off, i am extremely opposed to the omission of the word B!TCH. It is allowed on all PG-13 movies, and not only that, but allowed on TV. If it offends whoever made these censors, too bad, but unless the little kids who are on CB are offended by watching everyday TV, this particular censor is ridiculous. Now seriously, if you want to make CB a family safe environment that's cool and all, but they're going to start becoming the main consensus of CB and you're probably going to lose the older kids. Not that you find anything wrong with this, but if you guys (the ones who invented or applied this wonderful censor) enjoy seeing forums made by 9 year olds and enjoy conversing with them, be my guest, but count me out. You're all trying to make cb rated G- G for GAY.

Well, i partly agree with the topic starter and there are some points where i do not.

I agree that changing words all together is wrong; and it should just be bleeped.

You brought up the point about how some of the words we use are being used on t.v and in movies; and how little kids watch it also so it's the same thing. Even, though what you said was logical; i believe cb is trying to elevate itself from the low brow and corrupt nature of t.v and movies.

I only think that cb decided to change the words was to make us avoid using them all together and improve the way we channel our emotions.

My opinions - love it or hate it..w.e ^_^

-xx out

[*krnxswat*]

Seriously guys.
All this whining and complaining isn't going to get you guys anywhere.
So in all means, and I won't try to stop you (trust me on this), if you don't like it - leave.

[*tweeak*]

Agreed.
haha seonho

I mean, the rules on cb are no excessive cussing, and its just a much more friendly and less "cheap" enviornment without cuss words. I know, it is childish in a way, but it's better than having practically every post on cb with all these cuss words and junk. I mean, i understand that cuss words bring more enphasis to words and I also understand that these "substitutes" sound really funky, but it's funny. just think of it as... erm... keeping cb clean in a way

hm you make some good points too. when excessice, it does sound cheap and we dont want this to become trashy, but it shouldnt be so childish. whats wrong with replacing a letter or so? who has control of this censorship, anyway?

[iced__cappucino]

fudge. ahah well when she said Cb;'s unna lose all the older kids..haha its true. i mean like come on! why dont you make two parts to cb? one for 12 under and one 13 plus. eh?

[*tweeak*]

because people wont pay attention. little kids will find it "kewl" to go into the older kids forum

[*krnxswat*]

because people wont pay attention.

Because you won't pay attention to my prior post.

[*tweeak*]

i paid attention, but this is the most fun ive had all day ;)

[T00000]

I don't know guys, but seriously, no excessive cussing? I can u nderstand how that's not allowed, and bleeping out F U C K and CUNTSUCKER (oh woops that's still there) is normal. But bleeping out B I T C H and replacing it with "female dog"??? come on that's not even funny.

[angel-roh]

uh oh rival...hehe

but i like the censor... im glad the cussing are censored... if u dont like our friendly community then leave then... if that's wat u want...im sorry im saying this but are u whining cause u b!tch cant appear as the usual way?...omg-_-;;;;; seriously if u dont like it here cause it's so censored a lot, then y dont u leave? i mean i like the censoring thingy i reallie do. and i want it to be like that FOREVER

[F1R3B4T]

wow i never knew about these censorships...
excuse me:: fudge **** female dog poopface

edit:
ok i see wat u mean and i fully agree... "poopface"?>?? WTF??? FEMALE DOG??? WHO THE F*CK ARE U TRYING TO KID???

i never knew theres a censorship working already, i jus censored my own posts on my own good will you know?

the more words u add into the censorship vocab, the more ppl will swear
shud jus astericks half the word out uno

the censorship makes cB seem a place for 4th graders
if ppl are offended when seeing the word f*ck, they shudn't be on the computer at all i mean WTF is this, bizzaro world?

[sushiluva]

whoa i didn't even know about these filters until i read this thread well, yeah i agree cussing isn't that necessary, but not too many are bothered by the cussing are they? besides, from all the profane threads made, who would worry about a few cuss words? eh i understand that they don't want cb to be all cussing, but "ding dong" and "female dog" are a bit much, don't you think? i think aterisks (*) are good enough if they're really that concerned about it.

I guess you must be a fan of peter pan then and you never wanna grow up. Well kids you all better get the hell out of neverland because it only exists in michael jackson's back yard. if these kids are on the internet, they should expect to come across objectionable material. if cb is going to change in order to cater 4th graders, so be it. i've already noticed people contributing to be younger, and the topics have increasingly become stupider. Yes, if CB becomes any more gay I will leave and I know that is no threat, because you'd all much rather have the serene immature 4th grader who giggles when someone says boob. hEy gUyZ dO yOu lIke How I'm LyKe tAwkIng heeHee? Well get used to it f uckers, your audience is getting younger and there's much more where that came from.

[angel-roh]

[*[2]Nekked*]

ok i agree with the filters but i mean cmon can we think of BETTER words to replace them? ding dong? female dog? how does "ding dong" translate to F*ck? i mean if ur gonna censor someone, you should at least respect them and not change around the whole meaning of the sentence. i think it should be changed to "eff" since most people use that word now anyways. and female dog? im sorry but that just sounds retarded. personally i dont think the word should be censored at all but if ur gonna censor it then think of something less stupid than "female dog". a simple * will do, kthx.
