i'm sueing, this is a violation of my constitutional rights!

i think thats stupid that you ban a word just because you think its "ghey" it must be nice to be a mod: be able to lock threads whenever you want.. ban words whenever you want.. power trip? maybe

watch me get banned for this because i threatened legal action against the site and then watch this thread get locked

x2, even worse since it was so poorly implemented (ie not just doing it for that expression but any word with that combination of letters)

When you guys own your own site, you can filter/not filter any word you want. Also, any administrator can add/edit filters, for those that were not aware.

Nobody is going to get banned for threatening litigation over free speech, you'd just end up losing, and paying court costs for both parties. This is a privately owned and operated message board, and as such, your first amendment rights do not apply here.

Being privately owned and operated has nothing to so with it.

The fact that Brains isn't the U.S. Congress makes the first amendment not applicable.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..."

Brains for congress!!!

Semantics - and not entirely accurate ones at that - either way it doesn't have any bearing here. Free speech is not applicable.

Ok I think everyone should calm down. Even though I think it's ridiculous, banning F T W isn't that big of a deal. It's not like we say it every other sentence or anything. As much as this site gives us, I'm not gonna raise hell because I can't abbreviate for the win.
