Owner Popular Post Real Deal Posted February 21, 2011 Owner Popular Post Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Before I start explaining anything...do not abuse this privilege. You guys have been fine without it for six years, and I won't hesitate to go back to the word filter. I just want to give you guys some breathing room, and most of you are older teens or adults to begin with. So, please, don't jump into a topic and post a word 50 times, over and over, just because I'm doing this. Also, I'm asking that we still keep the post quality high. Our quality has been very good. Dropping the filter can have a negative effect, but I trust that we'll be fine. http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/topic/18178-drop-the-word-censor Most wanted it done, so hopefully, this is going to be a good idea. Activity can pick up, members who left in the past because of the filter (no idea why anyone would do that) can change their mind, and we can make it work. There are two words in the ban filter...one is a racial slur, one is usually related to homosexuals. Those won't be posted because they'll be used to personally attack members, and I'm not going to lay that out on the table for everyone to grab. It won't really be a trial period, but I'll pay close attention to our post quality, and I'll make the best decision for the site when it's all said and done. OTR houses some of the best basketball posters out there, and we've sacrificed our activity to eliminate all of our trolls (most forums welcome trolls, to promote the baiting and activity, and the outcome is the site losing their best members). Everyone here seems mature enough to handle it, so I suppose I should say thanks for that as well. I wouldn't run a site if it contained a bunch of adolescent teens that spent their time trashing other sites, their own community, and posting worthless posts. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Very nice man, great idea. The word filter was a bit annoying but I think we've got enough level headed posters here that it should be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Tzu Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I wasn't really bothered by it that much but it did get annoying a few times when I was trying to understand what the heck someone was trying to say cause there were [expletive] tags for every second word.
