@moonprincess It wouldn't bother me, just put up an RP link already.
-
@celery I have no idea.
-
True story: As a kid, the first exposure I had to the word #boycott came through Garfield comics. He was talking about the idea of boycotting carrots. So I thought boycotting must be some kind of food preparation technique, like julienning or filleting.
-
@macpony55 Okie dokie lokie.
-
@macpony55 BTW, you do realise I require a StatusNet server plugin, right? Not a browser plugin or a StatusNet client plugin or whatnot. :)
-
@jimbo These sound an awful lot like arguments I hear against being LGBT, honestly. My sympathy.
-
@jimbo Lots of people don't see a distaste towards gay people or trans people as hateful either. (They tend to call themselves "Christians" or "conservatives".) It doesn't make their hurtful words any less hurtful. Just chimin' in to make an analogy for ya.
-
@macpony55 senip senip senip
-
@colfax Swearing to try to shock people is just childish.
-
xyzzy
-
@colfax I've been known to swear a blue streak. If you wish to think me unintelligent, that is your prerogative. :)
-
@macpony55 I have no strong opinion on that matter. Do whatever is easiest. If somepony who wants things censored wants them censored further, we can edit it. Personally, I think censoring 'four-letter words' and the names of body parts is stupid.
-
@redenchilada Sweet mother of XYZZY.
-
@macpony55 For now, just have it censor the word XYZZY. That should suffice for testing purposes. We will, of course, need the ability to edit the list of censorable words.
-
@ponybis Okay. I'll just do it that way. Now all I need is that censoring plugin and we can finally get rid of that nasty prudish no-swearing policy.
-
@ponybis I'd be all in favour of letting EVERY user choose if they see 'naughty words' or not.
-
@cabal Has that defence worked in the past? I doubt it. If that defence was valid, then somebody would be able to make websites for (e.g.) child porn and host them in countries with no laws against child porn, then say "lol sorry my website is hosted in Kiddydiddlerstan, can't touch me" when the FBI arrives.
-
@cabal Unfortunately, the better aspects of the first amendment (there are bad aspects of it too, like giving hate groups a defense for much of their hate speech) are under attack from overzealous nanny-state laws like COPPA, etc. etc. etc. which aim to protect the chiiiiiiildren. And the site's hosted in Germany, but ich bin NICHT Deutsch.
-
@macpony55 It's a good idea. The problem is that if we did this, it would then open us up to potential legal action by overzealous parents screaming "OMG, YOU LET MY PRECIOUS LITTLE 16-YEAR-OLD BOBBY SEE FOUR-LETTER WORDS?! LAW SUITE!".
-
@fluttershy321 I'm the current site owner.
-
@macpony55 Thanks!
-
@mrbrown I disapprove too, but what can I do? It's good for CYA.
-
@astra Of course not, I was just correcting a misconception.
-
@fluttershy321 I'm not sure.
-
@macpony55 Simple. Any user gets censoring by default; those who mark themselves as BOTH [a] over 18 AND [b] wishing to see things uncensored do not see things censored.
-
@redenchilada If you have problems with @jimbo, send me an email and I'll bring it up with her.
-
@astra Jimbo's a girl.
-
@mrbrown Of course not. I'm saying she isn't just an angry ranting person on the Internet, she's also a good person who has done a lot for the pony community.
