"Forum" censored in CT?

[Whiteknight]

I'm just wondering why the word 'forum' is censored in the custom title. Can anyone tell me why?

[peace_machine]

Mabey because they don't want you imitating 'officials'? i.e. forum master, forum authority, official forum skapegoat.

OR, imagine if spambot put Forum Administrator in his title and started threatening newbies.

[Schwitzer]

I think you'll find "Administrator" is also censored :)

[SexForTwo]

OK, how about 'Forum Webmaster'?

OR 'Forum Administrat0r'?

Forum Lobster, and the like.

I dont' get it.

[ShawnManX]

As the forum sponge it's your job not to get it, or you'll inflate.

Blah, Blah, Blah. This is a retarded post.

Don't warn me for this because AJ knows what was in here before I edited this post.

[AJ]

You piqued my curiosity. What was in it?

BTW, I figured a way around it, I don't think any of the mods or admins care enough to bother with me, though.

I vote you stop all attempts to bypass the filters, or I'll remove the ability for custom titles.
That simple.

I think that it's cool for the filters to be in place, to keep people from having bad custom titles. But "Official Forum Scapegoat" is a far cry from being unreasonable or misleading or malicious or anything else. Of course it's not a good idea to set a trend for working around the rules <looks around> because it sets a bad example, but I think as long as it doesn't get out of hand it's gonna be alright.

I don't have a problem with scapegoat, however i will not remove words that are currently censored so that you can use the title you wish to.

And in addition if I do find people misusing their titles I will remove them, consider removing their abilities to use custom titles at all -- and eventually will resort to fully removing the privilege.

If he is the Official Forum Scapegoat for WB, then cant he just have "Official Scapegoat" in his CT?

I mean, does he see like 5 different forums around here?

I suppose Official Warboards Scapegoat is out. Alrighty, I'll just use Official Scapegoat.

BTW, AJ, you just had to ask me to remove it... I would have done so gladly without this fuss.

EDIT: I just wanted to use official forum scapegoat because it sounds better and is more specific. Ah well.

[Battlecruiser]

Official Scapegoat sounds just fine.

[Schwitzer]

I personally prefer "Official Scapegoat", myself.

[ShawnManX]

Or warboards scapegoat, like it makes a difference.

[Neo]

O_o

Yall are wierd. scapegoats and stuff, its like CC is migrating over here...

That reminds me I should prolly eventually change my CT to mention I am a mod...

Maybe Moogle Mod Shock Trooper or something xD

-NeoIf I may point you in the direction of this (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=2193&page=1&pp=40) thread and this (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=2196&page=1) thread. That explains all, and since everyone obviously hates me here :cry: I just went with the flow :D
