Current Events > the word "tar·di·ness" isn't allowed?

(+) Yeah! (+)

because it reminds them of the r-word? (the mental one, not the sexual one)

huh

I hope this doesn't count as censor bypass, the word has nothing to do with that. It means being late ffs

i dont know why the R word is so stigmatized but things like Moron, idiot, and cretin dont even get a passing glance.

neither is "flame retardant"

There was a user with cocktail in their name and you couldn't quote them without the stupid warning popping up.

That's a completely legitimate statement. There's several terms for "mentally deficient", yet only the "r-word" seems to be offensive for some unknown reason.

Yeah. They all mean the same thing. Yet its ok to throw around those offensive horrible words without a warning pop up.

I've never seen 'idiot' applied to people with a legitimate mental disability like the r-word has. It's just a casual word for stupid person

I had a youtube video that had the letter f, the letter a and the letter g all together in the URL and it was blocked.

I was like "We still doing this?"

what is the sexual r word? What does it rhyme with?

Something is just wrong with a site that can apparently solve the Scunthorpe Problem, yet consistently fuck up everything else.

apparently the word isn't even banned here, the word I was talking about there was rape.

I have no idea how that word doesn't even bring up a warning or something.

If rape was banned you wouldn't even be allowed to say a certain fruit

I was unable to post an ImgTC link the other day because (the first three letters of "Japan") was in the URL.

Cofagrigus

They make specific exceptions for those circumstances; you can say "Japan" but not just the first three letters, and you can say "Cofagrigus" but not (a certain slur).

they should just remove the filter and harshly moderate people who use said terms offensively instead

Or canola.

I don't understand why this isn't a thing.

There's even autoflag on this site, so just make them autoflag words.
