Default Who's playing with my sig.....

Okay guy's, lets grow up here. In my sig I had "Will race for C-h-r-i-s-t" and now it gives me the good ole HAHAHAHA anytime the "C" word is spelled out. I expect this to be changed. I'm not on this board to play games. I'm on here to be serious and to help other people out and gain info. I've been here for years and NEVER had a problem till today. Come on Admins., help me out......

Maybe you should ask WHY it was changed before getting all pissed off.

No one changed your sig in particular.

You're right it's a predetermined censor word the admins fill in for the VB software. You don't allow "hahahahahaha" (<<< See) but you allow "Satan"? Doesn't seem fair. If you're going to censor please do it evenly or fairly. Of course asking someone to censor fairly is a contradiction in terms and defeats the purpose of censoring in the first place. Oh well.

I dont see any VB software. I see PHP and a small amount of perl.

I'm glad this (above) is not censored out. I think Freedom of religion is important, regardless of your religion. I'd like to see the Christ filter turned off.

So, why is The Lord Hesus' (christ) name filtered, yet, the name God isn't? Are moderators exempt from public filters? What's up Unit213 ... is there something you know that you would be willing to share on this?

This IS an equal opportunity board and there are a lot of good attorney's who would have a field day with this one. I'm not trying to be funny here. I'm very serious ... just trying to be helpful before someone gets in trouble. It's a really touchy subject this days ... could be easily seen as a blatant double-standerd.

How about Ala or Budda or Buddah or con dios or Satan ... just checking to see if any of these get HAHAHAHA 'd ...
Jeb - You should do a little research to find out why the filter was put in place. There was a troll that repeatedly spammed this site. An admin was just goofing around and filtered a few words.

For the record, this is a privately owned website and "freedom of speech" doesn't really hold much water. Admins can do whatever they please.

We have been getting hit with a religious spammer hence messing with the censor function. As a devout Christian it pains that we get spammed by this guy.

<rant on>It's a FREE website that has great info and costs you nothing! It IS privately owned and as far as I'm concerned they can filter or NOT filter anything they want. To even suggest getting attorneys involved is beyond absurd. You don't like what they do? Start your own website, spend money for your domain name and website fees , see if that works better for ya. But be sure to allow anyone to post anything they want because you wouldn't want to infringe on their "freedom of speech " even though you pay for it. Jesus, what is wrong with you? That was the biggest bunch of BS I've heard on here yet and I have heard some major BS here.Get a life ,dude.<rant off>
