The word is a silly word and shouldn't be on the filter, I think I've proven that already. Though I wouldn't blame the admins, they were merely trying to do what's best. They made an innocent mistake, they saw the word on the same level as the "F word," so they did the reasonable thing, they filtered it. But it's really not, it's just a silly word. Now the reasonable thing to do would be to unfilter it and just warn those that use it inappropriately.

Agreed, more so because the word in question.. wasn't being used as an insult. Such as the "F word" or other filtered profanities. It was simply an alliance name, which really didn't offend anyone. If it did offend someone, I apologize.. but it seemed to be in gest rather than to belittle someone.

Kicks Jim out the door to buy him some coffee for a moment.

One of the few reasonable posts in this topic, i'd consider removing the filter for it, if it's not going to be thrown around left and right and abused one bit

i did ask you in the last few posts to unfilter it and if it gets abused filter it again.. also using urban dictionary to define a word is silly i could sign up there right now and post a definition of the word in question...

ah whatever u say urself man id be better off talking to a brick than you.. im fed up with it do what u like, i could come up with best defence ever for our case an u still wouldnt accept it.. so yeah that is all

Earendil seems to be willing to remove the word from the filter, at this point I think it would be best to just say thanks and assure him that you wont be throwing the word around all willy-nilly to insult people.

No, if you came with a clear head and a good reason, not excuses, silly examples or anything else like that, I'd listen.

Although I wouldn't predict a forum-wide surge of people using the word, you need to be aware that there are always going to be individuals who delight in pushing the boundaries. For those individuals, I guess it's going to have to be standard procedure.
