*BUG* Swear filter has broken.

JumpingphilJumpingphil

Don't want to risk a ban by saying too much, but have a look at the search results from the link in the first post.

Seems like other very naughty words are allowed too but I'm not going to search for them all. The children can do that.

    Seems you can eff and blind now if you want.

    See post #6, or thereabouts, for instructions.

    Edited By: Jumpingphil on Sep 17, 2011 03:31: Swear filter kicked in on my link.

    Advanced Search Results for "*****"
    Sorry, no matches found.
    Please try changing your filter options and searching again.

    Do a search for the f word immediately followed by an asterix.
    Search entire thread.
    Choose timescale as since your last visit and older.
    This is using advanced search obviously.

    How did you find that Phil?
    Were you searching for a certain retired Brazilian footballer? ;)

    The text in the search results are obfuscated as expected, but perhaps this is a useful feature to search for all the threads where the kids hang out so you can avoid them :)

    Also, imagine how quiet the "Feedback" Forum would be if the (normal & Advanced) Search facility worked.

    For example, note the date when this thread was created:

    BFN,

    Haha, it appears there is no swear filter for the opening post.

    I found it by chance last night looking at the touchpadless peoples thread and Amazon had released some for sale just before 3 a.m.
    Someone missed out and posted the f wored with "ed", I think, on the end and I just happened to see it on that page, I don't read every page of that thread by a long shot.
    So I started looking for others.
    Something rings a bell in the back of my mind that that the swear filter has never worked on the op.



    Edit, I'm not into football so the Brazilian footballer remark has gone right over my head.

    Me neither. I just knew of the surname that (if I quote will be filtered but) begins with "F" & ends with "s".

    He never played for Clitheroe or Scunthorpe as far as I am aware.

    When I clicked "Like this comment", I thought that at the very least, the existing offences would be edited away. After all, I don't think that there are that many of them and presumably any mod could have done that. :(

    You could then have a competition on Friday to see who could find the most swear words that have been missed so far with some Zavvi vouchers for first, second and third. :{
    I've still got no idea what all these smilies mean.

    Posted nearly three days ago and the offending items are still there.

    It is nearly a week now.

    I can't wait for the next super duper thing that is taking all the developer's time rather than get rid of the effing and blinding that is still on this site after having it brought to the attention of someone who is supposedly in charge.

    Nice to see this acknowledged and have something done about it.

    Oh for flips sake, does anybody care?
    Just give me money money money for all your clicks and I'll be happy.

    Sums it up I suppose.
    No-one gives a .........

    Thanks for getting back to me Juliet_B. I now know I can take what you say with a pinch of salt.

    Hmmm, can't remember what I put that needed modding, perhaps I should post some of these deals again as it is obviously OK to do so, even with all the swearing.

    Although I have noticed one of the "C" word posts has gone, shame someone couldn't spend an hour or so and get rid of all the other offensive posts, some of which were done by mods.
