The Infraction System, Probation and Bans - Q&A and Explanation

[Zephik]

I second smeg. That would totally kick ass!

Or one of my favs:

Frack.

[Drew]

Sorry progbuddy, I gotta go with Smeg.

Lister, you have a lot to answer for.

I don't think VBulletin will let me...

I think it would instead say smegsmegsmegsmeg. It says it's non-reversible and on-to-one, so if i try it and i'm wrong, then i can't undo it.

Then again, it's only going to be replacing the f-word with smegsmegsmegsmeg, and as we've allready replaced it with ****, then the censor wouldn't find it in it's search...i'll think about it.

Evil strings...

What the hell? I'd have to say that VBulletin is great, but what the hell? Irreversible censoring? Really now... you're a modder and a moderator (well, the rank above), so you should be able to edit it somehow, heh heh.

So I'm lazy. Bite me.

VBulletin will search through every thread and censor the words in our list. If I mess it up and it changes every instance of * to smeg, then we're going to have some funky looking forums for a while. I can fix it by performing MySQL queries on the server, but why bother? It's complicated and to be honest there's more important stuff that needs done about here.

Actually, you've got a point there. "****" does pretty much the same thing as "smeg," although without the bit of humor... is there any way to put it in quotes like when searching Google and have it change it that way? If worst comes to worst, you just put **** for smegsmegsmegsmeg.

Wow. A censor for a censor...

If that doesn't crash the servers than I don't know what will...

I've done some very simple programming like this. If I did this, then I would have to index the word, then make a simple if-then-end statement:

:If Str1=(the F word :p)
:Then
:"Smeg"->Str1
:End
