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 818 Views
How many posts have there been with swear words in titles? - 22/11/2010 12:45:49 PM 677 Views

Scanning a CoC requires a human (or significantly improved parsing), whereas spidering can be dumb - 22/11/2010 03:06:19 PM 756 Views
I figured,but checking for filter subroutines seems like it would be pretty easy. - 22/11/2010 04:18:01 PM 867 Views
Subroutines such as what? - 22/11/2010 04:33:05 PM 1087 Views
Well, honestly, I don't know, but I expect language filter subroutines are pretty standardized now. - 22/11/2010 08:01:07 PM 1115 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 744 Views
OK, but even then preventing such posts covers the contingencies while censoring none. - 23/11/2010 01:49:15 PM 775 Views

Yes, a lot of people don't seem to want RAFO "invaded" by new people. - 23/11/2010 07:03:14 PM 816 Views
new people is not the same as children. *NM* - 23/11/2010 08:30:43 PM 367 Views
True, but the same principles apply to people surfing at work or college. - 23/11/2010 09:16:30 PM 778 Views
Please. - 23/11/2010 09:40:16 PM 793 Views
I resent that. - 23/11/2010 10:09:36 PM 662 Views

Yea, you're helping exclude dozens, if not hundreds of potential RAFOlk. - 22/11/2010 07:42:58 PM 905 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 792 Views

Hey there! - 22/11/2010 10:30:24 PM 950 Views
A few honest answers. - 22/11/2010 10:54:30 PM 699 Views
Thanks - 22/11/2010 11:07:00 PM 694 Views
Perfectly alright. *NM* - 22/11/2010 11:12:43 PM 273 Views
A great deal of us were underage, though. - 23/11/2010 01:11:58 AM 825 Views
And look what a dirty mouth you got even without our help *NM* - 23/11/2010 08:04:06 AM 362 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 723 Views
Who cares about the cursing. In other ways wotmania did probably corrupt me, though. - 23/11/2010 10:25:37 PM 757 Views
*sniggers* - 24/11/2010 02:27:22 PM 638 Views
Has anyone actually voiced that concern? - 24/11/2010 02:28:23 PM 740 Views
yes. - 22/11/2010 12:05:23 PM 692 Views
True. - 22/11/2010 06:45:58 PM 750 Views
I love how the original poster hasn't responded to any of this. - 23/11/2010 03:11:58 AM 737 Views
Probably still in shock. - 23/11/2010 01:52:01 PM 758 Views
