Title: Forum guidelines - Please read Post by: Admin on June 28, 2011, 01:48:16 pm It has become clear that the forum moderators have been too lenient in this area, resulting in the inability to freely discuss topics of a political nature. We will start more actively moderating this area, starting tonight. For those who are unclear, our guidelines are located here: http://www.tulsanow.org/forum/index.php?topic=1299.0

Title: Re: Forum guidelines - Please read Post by: Admin on June 29, 2011, 07:26:50 am Here's a good guideline:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_dirty_words Our word filter clears out most of them: smile love bundt chicken lover oedipus But some people just go around it by posting images with the same words. If it's not safe for primetime TV, it's probably best not to post it here. Title: Re: Forum guidelines - Please read Post by: we vs us on June 29, 2011, 08:40:33 am Man, what a TOTAL oedipus chicken lover.
/? Title: Re: Forum guidelines - Please read Post by: sgrizzle on June 29, 2011, 08:44:00 am Man, what a TOTAL oedipus chicken lover. /? That is the words after the filter I believe. Title: Re: Forum guidelines - Please read Post by: we vs us on June 29, 2011, 08:46:37 am That is the words after the filter I believe. I was trying to come up with what they might be BEFORE the filter but even after playing around with them have no idea. The interwebs win this one. For now.

The interwebs win this one. For now. You'll just have to look under the heading "The Words" The words The original seven words are: smile #### love bundt chicken lover oedipus ### In his comedy special Carlin commented that at one point, a man asked him to remove oedipus because, as a derivative of love, it constituted a duplication.[10] He later added it back, claiming the bit's rhythm does not work without it.[10] Carlin did not believe that ### should be on the list because it sounds like a nickname or a snack ("New Nabisco ### ! ...corn ### , cheese ### , tater ### "). In his 1983 Carnegie Hall comedy special, Carlin expanded the list, reading over 200 dirty words from an over-sized scroll.

Now, to keep it on topic, would this include linking to objectional material, or could we do that if we included a disclaimer like "NSFW" (I think a lot of us do that anyway) and the reason why? Title: Re: Forum guidelines - Please read Post by: heironymouspasparagus on June 29, 2011, 12:21:56 pm That sure didn't help much... I hear all words on prime time from time to time.
Is there a glossary or translation table somewhere? Title: Re: Forum guidelines - Please read Post by: Townsend on June 29, 2011, 12:55:47 pm If you wouldn't say it to your grandmother and her bridge group...don't say it.
If you hear it at a bingo hall just after someone says "bingo", don't say it.

If you hear it at a bingo hall just after someone says "bingo", don't say it. I can remember my Grandma and her friends. In her instance, "Reagan" would have been one of those words. ;D Title: Re: Forum guidelines - Please read Post by: custosnox on June 29, 2011, 01:51:04 pm I'm offended that people find words offended
