For reference lewis, since you seem to have ignored my previous post :

Please try to adopt the natural approach of Read > Think > Post.

You are making quite a fool of yourself by performing the actions in reverse

Ermm all I said was how come the word "G@Y" had been banned? With a reasonable explanation.

But oh yes silly me I should of searched the forum first *rolls eyes* the first time I have not searched the forum when discussing a certain topic.

Get off my back Spinner.

come on lewis....we're all friends

calm down lew
we could win the pronunciation of scone battle by asking for the word scone to be in the filter
they'd have to say scon then

Best idea I've heard all year Zante

Why on an online pool site that word would need to be said confuses me slightly...

Just in general conversation really dark_cloud, for example a discussion in the chat room. Not really a big deal like just would be nice to see it unbanned thats all.

Maybe using the word g@y in general discussion isn't appropriate for a family pool site

Yeah exactly my point Stu, why isn't it appropriate? Its a sexual orientation yes I've read the thread about words being banned, but as 1_eye said it should be unbanned and left to the moderators discression!

Well why is it appropriate?

How many people do you know that use the word in a different sense?

Well its a sexual orientation I find it pretty offensive that its banned.

And as for your second point thats why I said it should be left to the mods to decide if its being used out of context or not, jeez.

Lol well I'm not saying it should be banned, i actually agree it could be seen as offensive to be banned.

But there will always be people abusing the system when there is no mod to decide.

Though we've proved its not exactly rocket science to get around..

Yeah its not rocket science lol

It'd just be nice to have it unbanned thats all.

Obviously it wouldn't make a massive difference lol

I do see your point, and it's a fair one.

Yeah not much difference, but hey it's sort of discriminating to be honest lol

If it doesnt make a massive difference, why keep going on about it?

Just seems to me that people will find anything to complain about on these forums at times.

Glad you see my point mate, although I would understand if it didn't get unbanned due to people using it out of context and mods can't be online 24/7 shame really.

Lol well it's just little things which don't make much difference for some, that actually makes things alot better for others

And yeah, tis a bit of a shame really lol.

One day, i will own Funkypool, and it will be unbanned lol

Well, i'll try one more time.

Please read the thread i linked to, theres no point in going over the same thing again and again.

I apologise if i seemed in any way patronisng, but you have to realise that this subject comes up very regularly with users trying to look t0tally r4d and kEwl by taking the stance that a sexual orientation is banned, yadda yadda yadda.

When you see something repeatedly, it gets very boring.

I'll save the usual palarva now by pointing out that if you wish to discuss your sexual orientation, the normal non-slang reference of homosexual is not filtered.

So, common insult filtered, sexual orientation supported. Sorted.

Again.

Regarding this issue, i've checked, and neither scon nor scone are filtered, so no probs there.
