censoring the shoutbox...

I don't think the shoutbox should be censored… at all. I don't see the problem, it was never intended to be a proper means of comunication. It's there for a bit of fun and we cant even says "fuck". I am allowed to shout it in the street. This is hardly a childrens site and I just don't see the point, I can say "fuck" in the forums… Also, the fucking wait 60 seconds to post check is the most annoying thing on earth. Sometimes I need to post twice in a row… how about something more directed to consecutive posts/unit time ratio? It'd be more effective.

The not having the soutbox on the front page was a even bigger annoyance.

How about everyone with a problem with the current set up of the shoutbox post here?

wait 60 seconds is to prevent spammers and bots from posting.

the censor is because swearing and bad language doesnt make the site look too professional if its someones first time here, and they see a shoutbox full of swearing and flaming they arent going to have a good impression of HBH. thats why we censor it. anyways my mum says swearing is bad :)

But the thing is, is I sign u pand I see swearing in the soutbox I wont say: "oh deary deary me, no no no he said 'fuck'. I'll just have to leave!". And if I did I'd probly be to faggoty to be a hacker anyways! Even if you mean because some parents may check the site out to see if it's fit for thier children if thier children put up with that they are too faggoty to be a hacker!

wolfmankurd,

First off, I agree 100% with the censorship. on the Radio they beep out the swear words. This is the opening page of the site. Yes it should be censored. if you need to swear think up more original ways of saying it. Swearing is just a way of saying "I am too lazy to express how I feel"

No I am not a pansy or anything else you may call me. I just think that if you want to say something then put some thought into it. Did you mother not ever teach you "If you have nothing nice to say do not say anything at all"?

Even if you do not listen to your mother that does not make people who do pansies. You should express yourself in more sophisticated terms since you seem to like to call yourself smart. SHOW us that you are and can think of more things to say other than "FK this and You AHole" Just express yourself more before you make a big flame on some rules set in place.

Anyways that is a long enough rant ;)

Hope I did not bore too many of you B)

  2. On the radio shouldnt be censored.
  3. There is nothing wrog with Fuck or arse hole UNTILL people start censoring it, asterixing it, making it a taboo. There was nohting wrong with nudity untill people wore clothes (clothes are good… 'cept for hot women)

I realise you were replying to aldarhawk, however I wouyld like to state I was merely testing the shoutbox for filtered words after seeing that fuck turned to love. (which I found quite amusing).

and sorry to all of the people who didn't want to see swear words on the pages. could you please filter more swear words to amuse me, thanks.

  1. On the radio shouldnt be censored. Think of all the lil kids that hear these songs then think its alright, then tell you to "fuck off". you would rather them be a lil more respectful than to tell you to "fuck off bitch"
  1. There is nothing wrog with Fuck or arse hole UNTILL people start censoring it, asterixing it, making it a taboo. There was nohting wrong with nudity untill people wore clothes (clothes are good… 'cept for hot women) The reaon its censored, is its offensive to some people.
  1. pansy rasberries People who call others pansies, usually have a full flowerbed of them.
  1. freedom of speach!

You say freedom of speech, show me a fucking place where theres freedom of speech. Not even here in America is there freedom of speech even though they say we have it.

In a once sentence summary:

LIVE WITH IT!

  6. Yes you do that is nice to see as well :)

  7. Yes it should. I do not want my 4 year old daughter hearing people saying you fucking cunt sucking ass hole. Again I am saying that swearing is just the lazy mans way of expressing ones self.

  8. There is A LOT wrong with it. Wait until you have children and they get expelled from school for calling their teacher a shitty douche bag!

  9. Pansies are very tasty flowers and go well with raspberries!

  10. Freedom of speech is a crock…just like freedom of information!

blackcat, freedon of speahc is a basic principle, it's people liek you who make sure ther eis no country truley free. backcat so what if poeple will be snooty people will e snooty AldarHawk, if you want to keep your 4 year old daughter away from pronfanities I sugesst ou dont let her come on hbh. there will always be porn one site for adults and mature people should be allowed on., and she shouldnt be on hbh. I dont personally want homosexuals about ( no offense but if I had the choice they wouldnt exist i dont mingd them but if I had the option I'd do that not kill them just stop them being gay) but I that doesnt mean it should be illegal. even if there was only one homosexual do you think he should be killed? I hope the answer is no, therefore I want to swear and I should be allowed.

my daughter does not come on here. I am just stating that swearing is not right. There is a problem with stupid people who are to lazy to learn more expressive ways to get their ideas across. Learn to speak or do not…it is that simple…

Wolf I am not close minded. Yes I am a "Hacker" as you quote me. But I am not one that ravages systems. I will use my know how for the good of people not to get my jollies ;)

You can say all you want but you have lost this point ;)

I have not stated you immature once in this entire conversation. to tell you the truth the closest I had come was to say you were lazy for using these words :)

Please do not attempt to put words in peoples mouths. it may work with your teachers at school and where you are but not here with me :) Remember I was once your age as well. I have been through all that stage. YES I did swear a lot when I was younger…But then again I was a very lazy person ;)

Anywho I am getting bored with this so I am not gonna respond again. I will be the bigger man and walk away…Say all you want. I am done on this thread….

AldarHawk leaves the thread the the others to have fun on

  1. your opinions arent censored. one word that alot of people find offensive is censored. im sure there are other words you can use to express your opinion far for articualtely.

  2. you have the right to be immature, but im sure that nobody else really wants to sit here and read immature shoutbox spams with abuse language.

Ah but it's not fair a word that they find offensive should be blocked for me. Like I said to AldarHawk, what if I decide the word "the" is offensive. You may say this is unreasonable, but all fuck means is sex. Sex is the MOST natural act, without sex noone would existt. Further, cunt it's justa body part. would i be allowed to find 'leg' offensive?

finally, I always use fuas a adjective. never as the noun or verb, unless someone has offended me. (or i am talking about someone who I know is cool with it)

hopefully. On top of that, my freedom is infringed on, I'm not saying BBC one should start broadcastin 'F*CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCK' all day at the top volume… but this is an adult site. with adults, I doubt very many of you have never watched somehting because it may contain swear words.

Maybe we should make it an option under "Edit Profile" that way, if any words offend you they would be censored out. Just an idea…

who finds the word 'THE' offensive and it should be replaced with 'A' in the shoutbox. do it. if it is highly voted for not nessesarily more than say 10% of people find it offensive it should be replaced… thats sensible as your replaciunf fuck.

You could make it change fuck to "feck", coz if someone says "fuck this" and it comes out as "love this", some people may not understand, however, if it said "feck this", it's not using any swearing but people can still get the point

i really dont care what you people say or swear or whatever, i see where cheese and aldarhawk are coming from about not wanting the site to look bad. its like you want the front of your house to look the best and then in the backyard you may have a semi-jungle(refferring to my house lol). so use this as an anology with the front yard as HBH's homepage(with the shoutbox) and the forums are the backyards(or in my case jungle). lol. well i hope that this hits some of you in the head like 'oh ya that makes sense'. escpecially you wolf because you started a thread just to start all the ranting that i and plenty of other users just read and then for us all to add on your ignorance. so please take note wolf because that is enough flaming for me.

no the censorship helps. my school blocked this site because of constant cuss words. Silly, yes, but I like browsing this site. (its not blocked atm btw.)

If anything, worst come to it, we can maybe have a toggle to allow or disallow cuss words to show in the shoutbox. If you exclusive member?

Why would that be for exclusive member only? I think it should be for all members if the admins incoporate that idea.
