Caps Filter

Giga13almost 8 years ago

Just remove it..... I like seeing caps, it makes it fun, and after 7 years i don't wanna change how i decide to talk sometimes in games. At least make the filter an OPTION instead of randomly imposing it on active users... Not everybody hates caps enough for them to be eliminated completely

Don't fix what ain't broke, people have been fine here for over a decade already so I'm not sure why randomly this became a thing

Now we can't even say swears. Remove the filters for caps lock and swearing, and only filter hate speech.

I think it's silly that over 50 people need to argue this against one person who doesn't even play mafia

Sometimes you can tell how emotional or genuine somebody is when they're using caps lock. It's a part of the game and shouldn't be removed. It's an in-game tool that the grand majority of users use at times in games. Removing it on a whim is silly

there's a difference between making the site newbie-friendly and making this some awful town of salem type game where swears are replaced with "tarnation" and various other nonsense, caps lock is not going to stop new players from playing and silly phrases just make this look like a game for 8 year olds
Also removing capital letters doesn't stop people from being hateful................ lol

this is the dumbest filter
who actually thought this was a good idea

like how do you make the jump from "we need a hate speech filter" to "lets just filter everything using more than 7 capitalized characters"

you were doing just fine with the hate speech filter lmao

can we uhh change the stop yelling message to just "Stop Yelling!" because saying jeez implies this is a religious site
can you help me think of a couple funny phrases?
does it matter if you're removing the caps rule and swapping it for spam?

the spam message should be "quality not quantity"

i mean i would expect to receive an HC vio.

doesn't mean i can't use the word cotton picker in the context of farm machinery.

similarly, i would expect someone calling me or any other trans person a transvestite to receive an HC vio.

doesn't mean they can't discuss self-identified men dressing like women.
Idk who u r, but u r quickly becomming one of my least fav ppl

I mean go call a black dude a cotton picker and report back
SHENANIGANSalmost 8 years ago
as a farmer i demand the right to discuss my machinery and also men wearing dresses.
SHENANIGANSalmost 8 years agoedited
that's like saying cotton picker is a forbidden slur because it's wildly offensive in certain contexts. doesn't change the fact that it's a damn piece of farm machinery.

hi trans person reporting in "transvestite" isn't hate speech kthx.
hi trans person reporting thats a slur, im sorry ur misinformed fambly
asfsdgfsg who what where why it's a latin rooted word used to describe crossdressering of course it's offensive when used to refer to trans people that doesnt make it a slur.

I agree that we should make caps a toggle option. Sometimes, all caps could be used for emphasis. It's pretty annoying to add a bunch of lowercase characters after each post you want to all caps in just to make the number of capital letters less than 50% or whatever that percentage is.
