I am just wondering, why is "s.p.i.c.k" (without the dots, obviously) included in the filter? IE *****

I used it in the saying sp.ick and span, I don't know other meanings for the word.. :/

Thought I may as well ask the question here, only other place would have been the GT, lol.

Something I noticed ages ago, has been like this for a while:

When youtube videos are embedded, clicking on the fullscreen logo does nothing except grey it out. You have to open the video on youtube if you want to watch fullscreen.
This happens for me in Chrome and Firefox.

I believe this is a feature built into the youtube embed.

It means that someone who would like to watch in fullscreen is forced to redirect to a youtube page, thus increasing exposure to all their ads and to other related videos.

i get that too. it will pause the video.

Click on the title to open in a new window
on the embebed one, right click and select stop download (so you don't grab it twice)

Mine automatically stops downloading the original embed. (Chrome)

Noun 1. s.p.i.ck - (ethnic slur) offensive term for persons of Latin American descent

[FR34KO]

Oh I see! :/

So the saying sp.ick and span, am I spelling it wrong, perhaps?

[Hypnotic]

No no, correct spelling, just has different meanings for others.

[FR34KO]

Mmmm unfortunate

Hi,

Basically we used an existing American based swear word filter, and they are kind of crazy when it comes to racism. The 'N' word has about 100 different ways of spelling it, I think the best one we found on the list was 'thunder-c.u.n.t'

I'll remove the word that rhymes with dick, so you can say it as much as you like. I don't think anyone under 35/40 would still consider spick a racial slur.

Weird ones pop up now and then. On GTRYdaz it blocked out runninggear - took us ages to figure that one out.

spick

Sorted.

Hi,

We had a long running thread to test the filter and everyone was happy.

If you notice something, PM me, otherwise let's keep this thread for actual issues.

Is the forum time issue resolved yet?

[skillionaire]

Hi,

We counted up everyone that had an issue with it.

When we get over one vote, we will look at it.





Seriously though, it's been put to the powers that be.

Cheers,

Ha ha, no worries man. It's nothing major, just annoying I guess cause it makes anything time-related, such as post times, topic times, etc, out of whack.

Fix the damn time!
