You folks are doing a great job on this site! Keep up the good work!
I would suggest removing p-o-o-p from the profanity filter. Sometimes we need to discuss it, and it's not exactly the most offensive word :-)

Just capitalize it. The profanity filter, in all its inanity, doesn't recognize capitals! Crazy Poop, eh?
Jul 8, 2010 at 5:46 pm #1627384Wow, you found a loophole, awesome. Pure awesome Crap. I wonder if it works for all words…lol

Yeah, but I don't want to look illiterate in order to satisfy a computer.Jul 8, 2010 at 6:02 pm #1627392"Yeah, but I don't want to look illiterate in order to satisfy a computer."
and p-o-o-p is………? ;-)

…an example where I was forced to look illiterate in order to satisfy a computer.
No, wait, actually I think it's an example where I was forced to look like a prissy old Victorian lady in order to satisfy a computer.
I recently read a historical account of one of the first ascents of Mt. Shasta, ca. 1850. When they get to the description of glissading, they refer to it as sliding on their "unmentionables."
Jul 8, 2010 at 6:13 pm #1627397" they refer to it as sliding on their "unmentionables.""
Heck, I was listening to a story on the radio today and some woman referred to her underwear as her unmentionables. As for me, I mention my unmentionables on this forum all the time. I think it kinda creeps some people out……

Not as weird as Smearing Poop across a rock in the desert southwest as the preferred alternative to cat-holes to speed the decomposition process.
That one just takes the Cat's ( self -filtered on second thought )

Oh, Doug can get much weirder than that. ;))

Knew about this in tundra and glaciers, didn't know it was used in the desert as well.Of course the optimal technique is to accomplish this without having to use your hands. Have you ever seen a dog with an itchy butt drag its hindquarters across someone's rug? The method for humans is very similar. You can find instructional videos if you search on youtube. Some people find it difficult to master the solo technique, so it can help to have your hiking partners grab your ankles and drag.
Jul 9, 2010 at 7:47 am #1627522GREAT, edifying thread!!! WIth Doug at the helm, who can go wrong? At least now I've learned that we can all have a Damn Gay old time on our Fannies!

Just glad that the method isn't quite as popular on those knife-edge ridges!
Really, having "Gay" on the profanity filter is surely offensive to some people, no?
Jul 9, 2010 at 10:34 am #1627559Even more than Poop, I'm amused that on this forum, we women are allowed to have one breast but not two of them!
Jul 9, 2010 at 10:40 am #1627560Mary, you got me thinking….. testicle?
Edit: Yup. Us guys are only allowed one testicle.
Nutsack. gotta capitalize it.
So here's a question: were these banned words handpicked by BPL staff, or is it simply part of a more generic filter that is used?
Jul 9, 2010 at 11:21 am #1627567Imagine that,
A Poop thread and Doug is all over it!! ;)Jul 9, 2010 at 11:26 am #1627568Michael, we ought to be careful. Things get ugly when Doug is encouraged too much!
Jul 9, 2010 at 11:32 am #1627571Miguel,
Doug IS the lite in backpackinglight
Jul 9, 2010 at 11:47 am #1627574I didn't even know there was a filter!
I'm so tempted to try a few Scots expletives, to see if they are recognised! :)Jul 9, 2010 at 11:49 am #1627575Shite.
Scots version of Shit. :)Shite was ok, but S.hI.t wasn't. :)
Jul 9, 2010 at 11:51 am #1627576How childish! I've never heard of a profanity filter before. Is the written word so scary?
Jul 9, 2010 at 11:58 am #1627577In German?
Scheiße
In French?
Hash
In Greek?
σκατά
In Latin?
Merda

Michael,
I know! You have come across his private. alone-in-his-chair anecdotes, haven't you? I'd hate to be the one to let him loose here! He does like his dogs!
Jul 9, 2010 at 12:02 pm #1627579>I know! You have come across his private.
Miguel, that's an unfortunate spot for a period in that sentence!!
Jul 9, 2010 at 12:03 pm #1627580LOL! Got me there! Luckily the profanity filter only does plurals!

Miguel,
As a mental Health professional, I agree it may be too much for many to deal with without having nightmares ;) -
