Warning???

  Top of Page

I just noticed I have a warning on my account.  This is the explaination given:

"Dear Manaz,

You have been warned for one of your posts, which violated OzLiberty Rules. The reason you have been warned is because:

Inappropriate language used in a post - Auto
(Warning Type = ObsceneWords)

For this violation, you have been given : 1 point(s).
The point(s) will remain in your account for 90 days.
After that, they will be removed automatically."

The post in question is: http://www.ozliberty.com/forums/showthread.php?p=50519

Now, I've used two words in that post that I can tell may have tripped the filter.  The first is [h3ll] (used twice), the second is [5h!tty].

Surely those words are in context, and don't deserve a warning that sits on my account for 90 days.  I'm all for limiting unecessary use of inappropriate language, but this is ridiculous - I could have sworn that we're (mostly) all adults here...

The warnings are automatic.

I can remove the warning for you.

Any swear words you post, you will cop a warning.

Not much I can do about it.

Thanks for removing the warning. smile

If feedback is useful to you guys, I think the level of word it picks up is a bit tough - both the words I used were well in context, and are a totally different level of word to those starting with f or c, etc...

you need 10 points to get a temporary automatic banning. = 10 warned posts in 45 days

mickey is nice in removing them often, i say stick it out and who cares, they go away after they expire.

ok guys this is what i'm going to do, i'm switching off the swear filter temporarily, its up to you to police yourselves. This is a family site and unnecessary swearing will not be tolerated, if this becomes too much work for the moderators the filter will be switched back on.

this does not mean that you can go crazy swearing in all your posts, those of you that continue to swear frequently will receive a warning and/or temporary ban, repeat offenders receive a full banning. Those of you who know me know that i'm an easy going guy, but as i have better things to do than moderate posts all day i'm going to leave it up to you guys to keep things as clean as possible

i appreciate your co-operation on this matter.

Family site?

where's the childrens? (don't say souprawk either.)

Sure, I'm not one to frequently swear, but It is about time we approached this from a rational point of view.

We're all adults (pretty much). If not, old enough to be conditioned to swearing, and mature enough to deal with it. "The Cheese" warning system was very archaic, not popular at all.

kudos to Joel. 'bout time too.

Joel for Prime Minister

He seems much more rational and understanding than Johnny "Eyebrows" Howard

Although i can say the tax cuts will be applauded by most, as a student of economics, they are more likely to cause more harm than good in the long run (in relation to inflationary pressure).
More $$$ should of been directed into the environment. I personally hate greenies, but if the govt. doesnt act soon we will all be screwed (for use of a better word, dont want to abuse the right to swear).
There is a limit that once you go past it, no matter how much money you throw at the environment it is gone forever and we are constantly getting ever closer to this point.

In closing... Joel for PM
