>soykaf
>fuarrrk
>kike
Three of the most fun words to use in English right now, and they're all censored site-wide. This isn't even a problem about being philosemitic. You're actively crushing free speech by doing this. It's hamfisted, it's not funny, and it reeks of a larger agenda.
Drano · 2018-02-06 02:24
Ah, it seems kike only language enhancers on certain boards. Point stands.
Spooky · 2018-02-06 02:24
And it just goes deeper and deeper.
Mario Rossi · 2018-02-11 05:58
They're an eyesore. I type in one word and the chan filters it to a fuarrrkhuge phrase and makes my post look absolutely ridiculous. Someone should write a script that reverses this filtering process.
Acid Burn · 2018-02-11 16:11
I like the language enhancer, I feel it gives a personality to the place.
The whales one really ought to be changed though, as it does break the flow of the sentence.
It's not censorship and doesn't go against free speech since the original word and intent is always clear from context.
It might be indicative of an agenda against slur, but I'm fine with it.
Bobby Newmark · 2018-02-11 16:46
I'm okay with $hit and fck being word-filtered, but why do god's chosen people get special treatment?
Cat Mother · 2018-02-11 22:01

If I recall vaguely correctly, that was the only one that people were using regularly enough for it to cause issues.
There's not a good slur for white people and "nigger" also isn't used much. A post using a slur isn't inherently against the rules, but it's an indicator that it's probably not a good post. There's not much reason to use these words in a discussion about operating systems, as an example.

This is a good example of a bad post. It makes no attempt to argue with what I've said. It merely quotes me with an insulting image. If it weren't in /q/, it would be deleted.
Tomohisa "Tom" Kanezaki · 2018-02-13 00:45

I wasn't arguing with you. I stated my opinion. This is an imageboard, you know? Go to LessWrong if you want autistic discussions.

I should save this soykaf so I can just paste it next time.
This is not 4/8chan. If you soykafpost, your post will be deleted. You are not being censored for your opinion but for the soykaf way you decided to express it. A reaction image with one sarcastic sentence is way below the line.
We like this. We've been doing it for years and we have no desire or intention of changing. If that's a deal breaker for you >>>/4chan/. If you want to stay, put a little bit of effort into your posts and join in the discussion that's great, but don't complain that we're not doing things your way when you've obviously only just gotten here and didn't even bother to take the time to read a few threads before you started whinging.
In summary: lurk moar.

no one ever gave a sht about free speech here, dunno where you got that idea. neither the front page nor the rules mention that concept

yeah, sure. save it genius, the ironing will surely teach them
Undisclosed · 2018-02-14 22:36

>no one ever gave a sht about free speech here,
That's not true at all. Every so often there'll be someone on /q/ who wants to ban all the sjws/alt-right/windows users and every time they get rebuffed on free speech grounds. You don't need to actively mention it in the rules. It's implied that if there isn't a rule against it, like spam or whatever, then it's allowed. Thing is, there is a rule that you have to elaborate on your opinions.
Also, read that last post again, it's not actually copypasta but we get a newfriend from 4/8chan who's sore that their soykafpost got deleted every few months.
I suppose here our newfriend wanted to talk about language enhancers, which are controversial, rather than soykafposts, which really aren't. I was just gonna ignore it because the idea that the language enhancers "reek of an agenda" is seriously the dumbest thing I have heard all year and I explain infosec to businessmen. Obviously the cunning and devious word filters are out to control your thought patterns by making you talk about glitterboys. Meanwhile, threads like >>>/r/2854 have been around for months. Talk about jumping at shadows.

ffs we're in a thread about fuarrrking language enhancers
i don't give any ducks about your arbitrary criterias of whats a funpost and whatnot, if i'm posting something legal and it gets deleted or modified it's not free speech, period. There's no way around it
it's okay, it doesn't mean the board is like kicking dead whales down the beach, not everything has to be about free speech. I actually agree that it fosters better discussions, but don't call it a cow if it's a horse
>read that last post again, it's not actually copypasta
try parsing what you read, dumdum

That's why the whales one is the best one, it can often cause you to go back and read again, it is like kicking dead whales down the beach to read, and that's what's great.

Except that Germans fuarrrk up OS devlopment all the time. And we discuss a lot more than OS devlopment here. Germans will always be relavent in one way or another.

>Is this homo for real?
That's a question not an opinion.
If you say "ur gay" that would have been an opinion. But you didn't and instead said an open ended question.
Tequila · 2018-04-28 12:30
>>5228
What other word filters are there?
I know the usual fuarrrk and soykaf
I don't know about the "whales" one
Another one I've seen is "Present Day, Present Time, ahaha" - what is that meant to say?
I've honestly used this site for a while and can't figure those ones out. Maybe I'm just dumb.
BloodCat · 2018-04-28 17:22
What does kike filter to? Checking.
Hong, Guil Dong · 2018-04-28 18:11

It's not an open-ended question. It's a rhetorical question. The image implicitly suggests that the person is a homo and that he's talking bullsoykaf.
Bob Arctor · 2018-04-29 05:00
I fraternize with/lurk in places dominated by people like OP all the time, so this isn't a political rebuttal. I don't have any beef with people like this, but I'm in favor of lainchan not turning into 8chan in terms of the proportion of effortposts to funposts. I'll go to 8ch if I want to be kekked at and called a good goy, but I'll go to lainchan if I want something different. Think of it like imageboard nationalism if it helps, op.

>A post using a slur isn't inherently against the rules, but it's an indicator that it's probably not a good post.
Agreed. Certain words are inherently of low value, regardless of context. Therefore, people who often use this words must be low-quality posters. I propose of a system where all the poster get ratings based on the words they use, and if a rating falls to low, they get auto-derezzed. Rating the quality of a post based on the choice of words rather than the ideas they express is a much better solution.
>There's not much reason to use these words in a discussion about operating systems, as an example.
Windows packet management is d-o-g-s-h-i-t
Agent Jones · 2018-05-27 03:26
What? The language enhancer is fine, its just a joke feature to give the site some flair. I mean it's not like we can't tell what you are saying with it on.
Lady 3Jane.. · 2018-06-02 13:20
If the wordfilters bother you, a zero-width space can be inserted somewhere in the word. A userscript to do that would probably be trivial. (unicode sure is nice isn't it)
shitposting
dumbfuck :^)
etc.
I don't mind the "shit" and "fuck" language enhancers because in my opinion they give the site a unique feel, but just a note for people looking to bypass them in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

Free speech swings both ways a private party such as lainchan can censor, that too is free speech.

It's not even censorship, though. It's just language enhancers, which have been a staple of imageboard culture ever since it made its way here to the western world. It's especially a tradition among smaller chans like this one. Hell, some of the filters here that cover common buzzwords even give a subtle message of "stop acting like a twitter checkmark's strawman of an anon and expand your vocabulary".

I see this attitude quite a bit. And its annoying.
People seem to get caught up in the legal autism of freedom of speech and the public vs private spaces.
See, I'm having a party. You come to my party and start explaining Flat earth theory. I have ZERO patience for flatearthers (untrue, but stick with me) and I ask you to shut up or leave.
Is that my right to do so? Obviously. But you'd have a hard time calling that anything but censorship.
Now maybe the people you were talking to really enjoyed listening to you and were having a great time. Maybe the whole reason they came was to hear you talk about your theory. Maybe I even enticed them to come by telling them you were gonna be there. Maybe I used you to establish my place as "the party place" then once it got popular enough i started insisting people only talked about what i wanted to talk about. You see where im going with this, right?
Im not saying we all have to be free speech absolutists or whatever. Just that censorship is censorship, whether you agree with it or not.

I blame Americans who can't tell apart whichever constitutional article protects their free speech from the government, and the more general concept of free speech.

Everyone censors things on some level. Perhaps we as a society should realize that some low, background static level of censorship is inevitable and necessary for a healthy society.
I, like the previous poster, blame broke-brained Americans and their autistic desire to treat all speech as equal in value.
