DEBATE Banned words = Blocking for posting!

Hello members and staff, I'm proud to be a part of Phun.org and would like to suggest a proposal.

Incest and rape are forbidden on Phun.org... but the title is sometimes unrelated. The model (girl) is the more important and that's why sometimes we don't pay attention to banned words.

Why don't you install word blocking for title thread?

That's what we all get. Members and Staff.

Thank you for your attention.
Greetings.

 

Word blocking would fail to take into account context.

We want our content posting members to be part of the community, rather than posting bots who don't care about what they provide.

 

Yes and I am about to be skipped. But my point is, when we try to post a video that contains a banned word... we get an error message "Your post contains banned words that aren’t allowed."

With the plugin will always be skipped. (In video section)

 

The great part about Phun.org and the reason I've been & stayed a member for a decade and half
is the people, the members, the Phunners whom have signed up and frequent the forum pages daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and even every couple of years sometimes.
We have our "Mods" that help out, keep the peace, put threads sometimes in the right categories that are placed incorrectly (it helps too for optimum exposure to others), image jpeg, gif', mpeg, video places that are the easiest and safest for you and Phun, but most importantly they apply our rules (that have been created pretty much by Phun members) and in my opinion equally. Yes, they sometimes those for a period of time and or permanently if need be.
But they are only able to do that because the rest of us also watch over the Phun Forum too because we too want it protected,
respected and continued operating as a member of a family. Yes, we argue and sometimes fight over things that we disagree on,
take sides against one group or another over issues, sports, news, pictures etc... And like any family get grumpy at one another for a while
but we usually get over it and and get back to being a Phun Family.
So, I truly believe that the need for "word blocking" is not necessary here. I'm 100% sure if those two topics were listed in thread that wasn't a "Help"
thread it wouldn't take but a very short moment of time before it was gone and those whom posted have a "Phun Vacation" as it use to be called.
Anyway to "Phun.org.forums' I see that you've been a member since May 2019 and have already become a consistent contributor
So now we have you too watching over Phun along with the rest

 

I'm late to the party on this but I'd like to say a little.

Banning things such as rape, simulated rape, incest, and other more extreme forms of content is a world away for the words used to describe them. If we went into the lounge and had a genuine and honest debate of something like racist words and their use is things like comedy, music, books and film we would be, in context, able to use those words without malice or hostile intent. But if we ban those words we restrict our own forum to a place where words themselves (our primary method of communication in forums) become impossible to use.

The sooner you start censoring, the sooner that circle of things you yourself decided to outlaw grows, and grows and pretty soon things you were fine with are blacklisted. This sounds like the slippery slope argument but sometimes that argument is right. Take todays left wing culture of sjw and cancel culture action brigades. They started to make moves to outlaw anything they disliked, almost right away others were saying that this would come back to bite them and it did right away.

Phun isn't a free speech forum, we all know we have and need rules but to start policing words is right next to policing thought. There's a difference between saying rape in discussion and saying it with intent. I use other places, some chans, and some of the threads and topics I have seen are horrific. Things like that should be deleted and members no longer allowed, but the words they use should not be.
