Stupid Swearfilters

<div class="IPBDescription">I demand an explanation!</div> Ok, never and always aren't being censored anymore, but that sure **** me off yesterday. What was the person responsible thinking? I would never (heh) do something like that, it always (heh) pisses off someone, like me. And since the word never (grin) was always (snicker) censored, how was I supposed to write sentences like: "People jumping from the empire state never survive" or "I always had to lock the door at 9 o'clock p.m. when I was doing the late shift"? What are you going to censore next, "or" to "and"? "Don't dis me, and I will punish you." "Either you eat the marine, and you get shot." "Install NS and you will never be able to play it."
<b>Explanation please!</b>

If someone gave ME admin powers over a board like THIS, I would just censor "unbalanced" "1.1" "release date" and "hovaring scorpian."

Edit: Also, possibly any word not in the spellcheck dictionary, and any "I" that is not capitalized. People would learn to spell real fast...

The person responsible can identify himself if he desires; the reason behind it was that "always" or "never" are never accurate in their usage - i.e. there is always an exception, which would make "often" or "seldom" correct.

Then again, I think I just proved the inaccuracy of this rule - there is always an exception to the rule. Heh. Always.

Anyway, they've been removed.

I presume it was MonsE. Whilst I agree with him, I think putting a filter on it is a <i>little</i> bit OTT.

It would be amusing to see a threads where people got around the filter by going a.lways and n.ever

heh.

coil, you meant to say that there is "sometimes" an exception, right? By that reasoning, there sometimes isn't an exception, in which case "never" and "always" can be used accurately. Hence the argument bites its own tail, and is invalid. In other words, it isn't possible to claim that you may never use "always" or "never", because you need the word "never" to say that.
Pwnd!
/me suspects (NOT accuses) MonsE.
I got around it by saying neverr. I hadn't noticed always right away.

coil

Every rule has an exception. Including that one. (;

Erm, I thinking your looking into into it a bit <b>too</b> deeply there. It's mainly abused in balance discussions/arguements to back up a poster's POV i.e.

"As soon as they get a second hive and fades you <b>always</b> get owned."

"You should <b>never</b> drop a TF in base first thing."

I know, and tbh I understand why it got censored for a short duration. I still think it was a bit overreacted, as the filters censor indisciminately, and thus prove to be a pest in normal discussions. I simply couldn't resist poking a little fun at the matter. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
See my post in <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=1&t=36856' target='_blank'>this</a> thread to understand my problems.

Now now coil.

The rule that half of four is two. Where's its exception?

Not that I want to get into it, but there are countless examples like that (direction of planets' orbits, gravity always becoming weaker with distance, etc) to show that always and never are perfectly fine. And why the fluff are we supposed to be so literal about it anyway? I don't think I've ever in any figurative/colloqguial setting been told I'm wrong for using those words.

*Maus sees he's getting into it

*Maus runs away

edit:

*Maus sees he's crawled up his own backside a bit. Ho-hum.

Simple. Cut four people in half and you have eight half people, not two. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

How about everyone settles down or I'll censor you in a more permanent way. You're on private property, show some respect. Sheesh - whiney brat day today.

And it's nice to see who the 'always' and 'never' people are. I can keep a better eye on you now, nubs.
