It's not like we are Mormons or the Brethren etc. I reckon most people have seen swear words before. This is the only forum I know that operates this way and it's frankly rubbish.

That's why I don't come here very often these days as it's annoying.

Gallop, Gallop, you're a cod, your'e a cod

And you'll always be  a cod.

You'll always be a cod.

I do feel a lot better for it.

Is this the first scientific proof of social engineering actually working

I say, let's license our croud control tool to Min of Ed and fund the 20 years' extension to Nix from the windfall.

Of course it does mean that shark and tatties won't be quite as popular as they have been.

You dont come here because you cant read swear words?  Seems like a weird line to draw in the sand.

I just read them as swear words now anyway, everyone knows what they mean. Swearing is about intent and not the actual word used.

That's okay for regular forum users, it's going to get tedious explaining the joke to every new person that arrives however and that wont help with the perception that YF is elitist.

I swear with the best of them at times but the audience here is varied.

I like the  fact that it does not sound like sailors convention in a brothel.

I agree that the croud thing could be annoying and make noobs think we are elitist, although I think the swear filter one is fine. A simple solution to keep the croud gag but with an explanation would be just having the autocorrected version also being a hyperlink to to the Hurt Rec croud photo, like how shark has a hyperlink to the Katy Perry gif.

Totally didn't realize the shark hyperlink changed.  Couldn't click it at work as it triggered the adult content block, I suspect I'm on a list now.

But this is a good idea IMO.

I also like being able to type the full swear word - much more satisfying. Previously I'd censor myself. Has been particularly good since the licence news broke.

Loving this thread topic!

In terms of social engineering, anyone else find themselves saying shark and fudge in real life, instead of shark and fudge?

Metrics will go down in Nix folklore; but it's meaning is as loose as a shark after a dodgy curry and six lagers - anything that cod's cock Gallop want it to mean.

NRL to review screening process for cardboard fans after multiple crude jokes!

Fox Sports and former NRL player Matthew Johns

have apologised for a comedy sketch where they used the NRL’s new cardboard cut-outs to put the face of Adolf Hitler into the crowd. As stadiums are empty, the league has launched an initiative where fans can pay $22 to send in photos and have a cardboard cut-out of themselves sit in the stands.

However, multiple people have taken advantage of the scheme to submit childish and offensive jokes. Over the weekend, a photo of English serial killer Dr Harold Shipman was spotted in the stands – among other potential ‘joke’ cutouts – during the match between Newcastle and Penrith.
