A Few Say Anything Technical Tweaks

I was bored tonight, so I made two minor changes to the commenting area here on Say Anything.

First, I’ve enabled comment signatures.  If you’d like to include a favorite quote, an image, a link to your own blog/website or whatever feel free.  You have to be registered to use this feature (click the link under the header above).  Once you’re registered and/or logged in, click the “Profile” link under the header above to edit your signature.  Let me know what you think of this.  It isn’t really a necessary feature, but it’s included in the Expression Engine functions so I thought I’d put it to use.

Second, I’ve enabled word censoring for curse words.  I’m not much of a prude.  I could care less if you all cussed up a storm here, but some people don’t like it.  It turns a lot of people off, in fact, so from now on if you write a curse word it’ll be replaced with “[expletive deleted].”

I know the comments section below will probably turn into a test space to see which curse words I’ve banned and which haven’t made the list yet, so feel free.  Curse away.

Comments

Only a fucken shitty bitch ass cunt whore cocksucker motherfucker nigger kike pussy-bitch kyke fucking cumguzzling fag would censor swear words.

likwidshoe on May 22, 2007 at 10:51 pm

Well, okay. I know what’s censored now.

As you will. I wish to state for the record that I believe it to be unnecessary, but whatever. We all should be adults here and accept that some like to throw in an occasionally spicy word every now and then. At the same time we get the occasional commenter who makes it his or her first language.

The REAL expletives at this blog that need thumped are those few who come here with intent to libel with false racism and genocide charges. You want to put expletives in check? Start there.

I’m not trying to be a jerk, but I’m not sure that it’s necessary to curse at one another.  If you want to type it, go ahead, but not everybody wants to read it.

I don’t mind, but a few readers have complained about it in the past and it’s an easy fix.

Yeah, it’s not taking the curse words out of the recent comments for some reason…

I’ll have to figure that part out.

Additional Requirements:

Confess your sins openly and candidly. Tell of all the mortal sins you’ve committed and the number of times each sin was committed, and then you may confess some of your venial sins. (Although in confessing venial sins, it is not strictly necessary to confess all venial sins)

Start by reciting:

“Bless me, Fadda, for I have sinned. It has been
a lifetime since my last confession.”

End by reciting:

“O -my -God, I am heartily sorry for having
offended thee by cursing on SAB, and I detest all my sins and curse words because of your just punishments, .. I firmly resolve, with the
help of your grace, to sin and blog-curse no more and to avoid the near occasions of blog-cursing and sinning.”wink

Well, I’ll be damned. Did it censor that?

Glad the signatures are running, it is always odd to see it come up at one blog and not at another. Now to see how many people actually translate it.

* Dodges questions from other posters * Refuses to give sources
* When one of its arguments is shown to be false, either ignores the proof or moves the goalposts.  Heh. (From the LGF faq)

Well done, Rob.  At the very least, this will give a strong incentive for people to learn to actually write well.  Profanity is (sorry liberals) most often the sign of a mind too weak to hold its own in actual rhetoric.

Reckless accusations of racism qualify, too.

Robert Perry on May 23, 2007 at 08:57 am

Anna that was very funny.  What did you do to get the small size-challenged font to appear for your signature?

Personally, I think that is what the default signature should look like.

[expletive deleted] rocks.  I can tell Rob to go [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted] himself with his [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted].

Sparkie Arbuckle on May 23, 2007 at 09:37 am

Sparkie in large measure is responsible for turning the 7 second censor off in my mind.  I rarely if ever cussed here until Sparkie started calling folks [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted].  And again, no sense in me actually cussing, I will just add an appropriate number of “[expletive deleted]” to my own paragraphs.  Makes it more fun anyway.

Better than saying to go F*ck yourself or to eat Sh1t or suck my c0ck or anything else an 3l1t3 H4ck3r like myself might think up.  It would turn into a damned text message if we start trying to beat the censors.  brb…

We can’t curse? Dang. Rats. Phooey. Fiddlesticks. Shoot. Darnit.

You know, I know the old addage is that profanity is the crutch of the weak minded but sometimes it’s just very satisfactory to be able to use it in a creative way. And it can be amusing when it’s turned around and comes back at you.

I’ll miss all the times Sparky has told me to go fuck myself.

Sigh.

Hey, like I said, it’s not because I’m a sailor.  I can curse enough to make a sailor’s ears turn red.  The problem is that some readers don’t like to read it, and other people (who are slackers and maybe read this blog from work) are having problems with some of the words hanging up filters and what not.

I thought some of the profane insults tossed back and forth were hilarious, myself.  But I do understand the concerns of some readers (a lot of whom are lurkers).

Profanity is the sign of an impoverished vocabulary. Any properly educated person ought to be able to insult and disparage anyone sans profanity.

I personally would be more than happy to give lessons to those who are the insult impaired. In the immortal words of Lt. Joe Friday:

At least my mother didn’t bark!

I’m not one to curse excessively. However, this censoring does bother me. Who cares if some people complain? It hasn’t kept them from reading this blog. If it was really that big of a problem they could just choose to read something else.

I like Troy’s idea of spacing between each letter.

I whole heartedly agree with the ‘only the ignorant cuss” adage and most people will learn I rarely cuss. It usually comes as a shock to others when I do cuss and everyone becomes attentively aware of my anger and things will only get uglier from then on. I call it my feminine aggression alert to not only others but to myself too.
If it comes to me kinking my sacred anger management halo and find the need to cuss I’m fine with the [expletive deleted] to get my point across
Either way is fine and after over 5yrs on irc I’ve encountered most all of it.
