AB filter

[IggyB]

dear ed - please could you fix it for me that if someone writes "Noo Labour" the AB filter will automatically correct this to "New Labour" - I have no love of the labour party but I have even less love for rubbish jokes from the late 90's.

please please please please etc

faithfully yours

Good lord! If you suppress their mantras, the right-wingers - given that an original thought is a rarity for them - will be effectively incommunicado!

^ I don't know what that means .

[Quizmonster]

Dot, I'm not sure whether your puzzlement relates to the question or to my response to it. If the latter, a mantra is a constantly chanted phrase...such as Noo Labour, Loony Leftie...and incommunicado means lacking the means of communication.
My point was that our little band of AnswerBank right-wingers, most often seen in the News category here, are very fond of chanting these words, clearly dreamt up years ago by someone OTHER than themselves. In other words, they are not communicating anything original.

what about our ooman rights? I demand to be able to use meeja pi55 takes of lefty terms!

[Old_Geezer]

It is not a rubbish joke, it is an expression of derision and scorn, and we want as much freedom of expression here as we can get.

I suggest it is more fitting if, every time someone writes "New Labour" the AB filter will automatically correct this to "Nu Labour".

I'm happy with that, provided that every time someone writes 'right-winger' from henceforth, the AB filter changes it to 'ranting rightie'. Why don't you create your OWN pi55-takes, R1G, rather than those the gutter-press meeja spoon-feeds you?

[IggyB]

a very good compromise from the quizmonster - I agree that i can certainly live with new labour being filtered into "Nu Labour" all the time if whenever the BNP are mentioned it is filtered to "BNP (Barmy Numpties Party)"

Its all about give and take

Personally,(and please don't tell me this a family site,because it isn't)
I don't see why we need ANY censorship.
AB Ed and Spare Ed are quick enough to delete obscene/unwated/offensive answers,why couldn't it be left at that?
I moderate at another forum,and if someone uses words or language that are giving obvious offence to other members,I delete the words(or in extreme circumstances the thread).
