removing p-o-o-p from profanity filter

You all know we're just poking and prodding the caged lion at this moment. When Doug gets back online, woe is the fool who lay in the path of his fury!

Travis, YOU might be poking and prodding, but leave me out of it. I only do cursory suggestions. Preferably as far away from Doug's unmentionables as possible. I think that's one reason I live all the way over here in Japan!

I guess we should all be ok as long as we don't start poking and prodding Doug's unmentionables.

The suspense of Doug's imminent appearance is tooth-grinding, isn't it?

Indeed. I'm busy bracing myself for the cataclysmic moment!

I do feel that we should keep this site pretty much G-rated–we do, I hope, have young people coming in here to find out about backpacking light. I know, they've heard it all on the playground in kindergarten, but we want their parents to be happy light backpackers, too!

That's no excuse for this ridiculous filter, though. We should be able to use the formal medical terms for anatomy and physiology. I just discovered that Feces (unless capitalized) is also a banned word! Considering the amount of bandwidth we use here to discuss the disposal and cleaning up after producing said material, which is a rather important subject out in the wilderness, it's really silly that the scientific term is considered profanity!

Yup, every public restroom on the planet has more verbal trash than BPL. Hell, I think many 4th grade classrooms are way dirtier and more explicit than this website! I do believe that if a filter were removed, this site would still stay clean–and that's due simply to the types of members here. However, having a filter that blocks the small number of core 4-letter swearwords would be perfectly reasonable.

I'M GAY!!!!

Wow. Freedom at last to be myself.

And all thanks to Doug's pioneering work finding a loophole in the Damned filter.

There was once an old geezer named Doug,
Who, when asked about his singleness, just shrugged.
But when reading Backpacking Light
on his Mac, late at night,
He would occasionally give his unmentionables tugs.

Travis, Miguel and Michael made me do it. I didn't want to…..

"In French?

Hash"

I thought it was Merde in French?

"And all thanks to Doug's pioneering work finding a loophole in the Damned filter."

Glad to be of assistance!

Doug, glad I could help!

Doug,
You are correct as their are many conjugations.
PM sent as I could not post it here.

"Edit: Yup. Us guys are only allowed one testicle.

Nutsack. gotta capitalize it."

Nah. Just use cojones. Everyone understands what that means.

"Preferably as far away from Doug's unmentionables as possible. I think that's one reason I live all the way over here in Japan!"

You can run, but you can't hide.

"I just discovered that Feces (unless capitalized) is also a banned word!"

Have you tried faeces?

"There was once an old geezer named Doug,
Who, when asked about his singleness, just shrugged.

See. I told you all he could get a lot weirder. ;))

faeces

Evidently the filter doesn't recognize the British spelling!

"See. I told you all he could get a lot weirder. ;))"

HEY! It WASN'T my fault!

"HEY! It WASN'T my fault!"

I know, buddy, I know. It was that year of home schooling, wasn't it?

Doug went to school?
