Are you telling me monitors are THAT horribly inefficient? Joel Send a noteboard - 22/11/2010 02:55:43 PM
Remember, a search spider cannot tell whether a site has a language filter or not unless it sees swear words, and it's not like we get thee in every other post anyway. I think it's much more likely this site would be added to blacklists because someone would notice people spending a lot of time here.

Since you categorically state that we stand the risk of beng blacklisted, it'd be nice to see some data to back this claim up. Installing a few different parental control suites and trying to access the site should be enough.

Makes sense; why take five seconds to check whether any kind of language filter has been coded and/or scan the CoC (oh, right, we don't have one yet; never mind... ;)) for a reference to it? MUCH more efficient to scan every post ever made for a string of objectionable words, right? Meanwhile, since I object to such controls on principle (believe it or not) and am using my fiancees laptop for the foreseeable future, I'm not going to download, install and figure out how to use a bunch of software just to prove a point. The bigger question is what traffic will be like after that so undreemable series concludes next year and the ensuing celebrations here taper off as well. Had ToM not been released earlier this month I'm not sure you'd have to worry much about many people being caught spending too much time here. I'm hopeful but not optimistic, because RAFO seems designed for nostalgia, not longevity.

The difference is webbrowsers can't be set to automatically exlude the former from web searches. - 22/11/2010 12:01:05 PM 733 Views
How many posts have there been with swear words in titles? - 22/11/2010 12:45:49 PM 585 Views

Scanning a CoC requires a human (or significantly improved parsing), whereas spidering can be dumb - 22/11/2010 03:06:19 PM 668 Views
I figured,but checking for filter subroutines seems like it would be pretty easy. - 22/11/2010 04:18:01 PM 779 Views
Subroutines such as what? - 22/11/2010 04:33:05 PM 989 Views
Well, honestly, I don't know, but I expect language filter subroutines are pretty standardized now. - 22/11/2010 08:01:07 PM 997 Views
The point is that there is nothing that a browser* will see of such a filter unless... - 23/11/2010 08:56:37 AM 647 Views
OK, but even then preventing such posts covers the contingencies while censoring none. - 23/11/2010 01:49:15 PM 691 Views

Yes, a lot of people don't seem to want RAFO "invaded" by new people. - 23/11/2010 07:03:14 PM 732 Views
new people is not the same as children. *NM* - 23/11/2010 08:30:43 PM 336 Views
True, but the same principles apply to people surfing at work or college. - 23/11/2010 09:16:30 PM 692 Views
Please. - 23/11/2010 09:40:16 PM 699 Views
I resent that. - 23/11/2010 10:09:36 PM 577 Views

Yea, you're helping exclude dozens, if not hundreds of potential RAFOlk. - 22/11/2010 07:42:58 PM 818 Views
Watch out. The CIA is watching you post that. And then they're going to arrest EVERYONE. - 22/11/2010 08:09:07 PM 703 Views

Hey there! - 22/11/2010 10:30:24 PM 861 Views
A few honest answers. - 22/11/2010 10:54:30 PM 604 Views
Thanks - 22/11/2010 11:07:00 PM 608 Views
Perfectly alright. *NM* - 22/11/2010 11:12:43 PM 226 Views
A great deal of us were underage, though. - 23/11/2010 01:11:58 AM 745 Views
And look what a dirty mouth you got even without our help *NM* - 23/11/2010 08:04:06 AM 326 Views
All I can say to that is that people who think cursing on RAFO/WoTmania corrupts the youth - 23/11/2010 10:13:26 PM 632 Views
Who cares about the cursing. In other ways wotmania did probably corrupt me, though. - 23/11/2010 10:25:37 PM 673 Views
*sniggers* - 24/11/2010 02:27:22 PM 552 Views
Has anyone actually voiced that concern? - 24/11/2010 02:28:23 PM 658 Views
yes. - 22/11/2010 12:05:23 PM 600 Views
True. - 22/11/2010 06:45:58 PM 658 Views
I love how the original poster hasn't responded to any of this. - 23/11/2010 03:11:58 AM 648 Views
Probably still in shock. - 23/11/2010 01:52:01 PM 680 Views
