Oh, dear god, I don't feel alive...


Okay, my filtering on here is set to minimal (the lowest). Turns out, it'll let me say "********" without any problem whatsoever, but "pe-do-phile" is censored. They'll let me say whatever the ******** else I want to, but of all the words in the dictionary, they chose the word "*****" to disallow.

The logic here eludes me, but whatever. Thoughts?

...when you're cut short of misery.

What the <********>? I never noticed that before. I'm questioning Gaia logic, and not for the first time, here...

What the flying ********? What do you mean we can't say ******?! (Woot for the English spelling, by the way.)

[edit]
Damn... It even censors the English spelling.

You've been for me what no other could be...

Again, the logic here completely eludes me. Maybe someone can help it to dawn upon us why the word "*****" is so bad, but "********" isn't?

It even goes to such lengths as to censor the British spelling? Jesus Christ...

Well, will you look at that. We're no longer mature enough to handle no word filtering. Bastards.

[edit]
Ooh... that's why words with the suffix p edo were banned... Well, at least it is justified.

These issues about predators seem like prime time TV material that's just another reporter's topic until the day authorities came to us about it happening on Gaia. It troubles me to no end thinking that I created a site which end up getting people hurt, and I need to take the responsibility of such events in one form or another.

So now talking about ***** makes people *****? Yeah, that makes sense.

As it has been succinctly phrased elsewhere:

So I can say: "How old are you, little girl? 12? Really? Okay. I want you to take off all of your clothes and take a picture and then I'll send you a new video game. Okay?"

But I can't say: "User Images are not the same thing as child molesters. Child molesters molest children. User Images are merely attracted to children. Be careful, little girl, because child molesters are bad people. Don't talk to strangers and if anyone, even a parent, touches you in a bad way, tell your teacher or some other adult you trust."

Oh well. On a lighter note:
