I'll apologise in advance if this has been covered in another thread - but to be honest I haven't seen it elsewhere.

Does anybody else get hacked off with getting asked the above question? It seems that when I say "32 m uk" it goes quiet. Perhaps I should say "18 f uk" instead!!

Was covered elsewhere i remember as the girls complained!

And it is annoying, just ignore or do as you say "18 f uk"

Gets them everytime

I ignore anyone that asks me that. If they want to know then they can check my profile.

i think there should be box in the pm window where it says someone's asl,anyone agree ?

I Kinda agree with you there, it would shut up the question, but the girls names on here would still get pelters in the PM window.

Hey, it's the internet, can't solve everything.

I personally think the letters "asl" should be stuck right to the top of the swear filter, so anyone using them gets automatically banned immediately.



I remind people its easier to click just click your name and that typing "asl" just makes you look too stupid to know what a link is.

just another suggestion maybe there should be some writing in the pm window saying something like click on the users picture to view there profile,and why do people do that ask for your asl and close the window.

Maybe banned is a bit harsh!

But imagine this:

guest000:Hi
mr_mcquiston: hello
guest000:***
mr_mcquiston: Ha you can't say ***! my life has only just begun!!! :)

In case you never clicked on the *** is asl.

So maybe that could work.

trust me they always get around it.

most annoying question for a mod is someone asking can i be a mod?

I know what you mean, they would find a way around it, but i think they would look a right git if they did a s l?

Maybe that could be blocked too!

Well the swear filter on our work forums can be configured to give a warning, if this one is similar, insead of *** we could have someone type "Hi ASL?" and "Hi i am a dork" is whats displayed

(yes - i've had fun with it before )

Hehe, well Nick has the power...lets see if he will have a little fun with it.
