I remember when typing a certain actor's name made the filters turn it into Dick Van Large Marge. Jeez criminiy, those were some times.

Maybe we should bring back silly word filters for April Fools or something
I remember FAN used to do a ton of fun stuff for April Fools. Didn't the Board turn completely pink one time?

we used to have fun filters for some of those words, but people campaigned for a long time for them to be changed as "we're mostly adults here and should be able to use curse words" so the admin at the time changed the filters. and the words you've listed would be heard in films pg-13 We are all mature adults and should be treated as such. Now, let's all piss in the shower while discussing if sex should be outlawed. Oh my god, I'd forgotten that one, considering ancestors of this board through Wrestlecrap, I've been here over 20 years, that is never getting topped as the most surreal thread ever.

So, I wanted to test something, so I sent myself a PM. The "W Version" of the "N Word" is NOT filtered, unless I did it wrong. Also, I understand it's a British euphonism for cigarette, but shouldn't the "other" F word also be filtered? Not that I've ever seen it even used here, but just curious. “Fag” is a common use of slang for a cigarette. “Faggot” is a type of Meatball and is still used on the packaging for certain brands of it. (It also means a bundle of sticks but that use died out a long time ago). It’s not filtered as it genuinely has other meanings but were it used as a derogatory term, then that post would be removed and the user would be warned. But like you said, you’ve never seen it used here (and I can’t recall the last time I saw it used as a slur here either), so as long as it stays that way, there’s no immediate need to add it to the filter.

So we're allowed to say "oh shit!" or "shit on a shingle"?

Rpol does different colour schemes for various holidays. Most of them are eye piercings awful. Thankfully you can bypass them with a custom colour scheme. Also, how long ago were the silly filters? I've been here roughly 9 years and I don't really remember any of that.

He was like one bad day away from becoming a serial killer. I just missed out on that thread, but I went and looked it up (at work, because LOL) and... Jesus. Like, he did realize that outlawing sex would be the equivalent of a mass extinction event, right? Be a great premise for a movie or a book, but in practice? *insert Ambrose "nope" gif here*

Yeah, I hope that guy is in a better mental state nowadays, but his threads were really weird, even it was just reporting something. Not like King Ghidorah's either.

We need to keep things clear for the hottest upcoming indie wrestling sensation, "Bitch Shit" Dick Asshole. Was he trained by Mr. Ken Anderson?
