The filters as is don't bug me too much except when I'm not swearing and they garble my post. I opt for the Sh*t F*ckers option, however I wouldn't mind it being slightly stricter like S*** F***ers. On the other hand the world filter for I am an idiot!!! is perfectly acceptable.

Soooo are the quacking child locks gone yet? The poll is pretty lopsided here for Quacks sake.
A. You're not helping B. As it stands now, it looks like 35 people want to keep the filter (but just disagree on the format) and 27 people want to get rid of it. So it's not as lopsided as you're desperately wanting it to be.
See I read the current results are 75% of people want to get rid of the system that's in place.

Either way, it's not a lopsided majority that want NO filter, like Phil made it sound.
Multiple polls would be the way to fix it really, though it would be a bit of a mess. One to decide if there's a real desire for reform, (though I'd argue this showed there was), and potentially one to determine how you'd go about changing things should. It's entirely possible that 100% of people who voted for the no filters would much rather have the partial filter described in option 2. Unless something gets a majority I don't think it's entirely fair to whichever option has the plurality, especially with things as close as they are.

Tight d*ckly, I immediately voted for the second choice because I thought that was the one to change them (thinking he just couldn't spell them out because of existing filters) and the last one was an "I don't care" choice. It won't let me change my vote now. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

If you click the checkmark it will disappear and let you vote again.
Let's not ignore the fact that the "you can just put the asterisk in yourself" philosophy applies both ways. If an asterisk filter was implemented, folks that like to say "Quack" can still type "Quack".
I tend to write quack out of habit. It started when I didn't realize it was an auto filter and just assumed people were censoring themselves.

Yes, this is also possible. Though one of the things people have liked about the word filters is that they change up occasionally (like how we had "Leno" for sh*t" for a little while because of the Conan O'Brien stuff) and I know some people found it funny when seeing the "new" curses. Not saying that nullifies your post but I guess the idea is that we all know what "Quack" means but other ones will change up over time so there's no real way of knowing what goofy word to use as a substitute. Could make things even more confusing if different people are using different words to mean the same thing.

I don't see the relevance of this comment. If people have them turned off, the changes of censored words will never matter, they'll still appear as the curse words they're intended to be. If people have them turned on, the changes affect them the same way as they have in the past (someone goes "hey, did you guys change a word filter" "yes" "quack quack quack I'm Gordon Bombay").
The option is obviously the best choice, but this was brought up in the last word filter discussion and never followed through on (or maybe Proboards just wasn't ready for that request yet with their upgrade, who knows). And if we uncensored folk miss out on one or two discussion of the LOLLERSKATES word filters, I guess that'll just have to be our cross to bear.
I would just like to communicate as an adult. Adults use cuss words, some people are more liberal with them than others, and if that offends you or you don't like reading those words then use the ignore button. I voted for the filters to be done away completely. However, I think the asterisk is a good middle ground.
You're just too young to grasp how stylin' I really was. All the boys wanted to do me when I was 5. Actually the girls did too. My haircut was confusing.

Them changing so much is actually one of the things I dislike the most about the word filters.
They don't change "so much". It's not a constant thing but something that does happen from time to time. I do think someone else mentioned having a list of the censored words and what they are changed to somewhere could possibly help.
Either way....i'm just keeping the conversation going and offering other points of view while looking into possible solutions that would make most people happy.

Well I wasn't discussing the option of turning it on or off...just responding to the idea that if (hypothetically) things were changed to asterisks.

I said it was a good suggestion and that I'd look into it. I'm not sure who specifically said they would follow through with that one of the past times this topic has come up. If it was me I'm sorry that things didn't happen but I either forgot or didn't know we were supposed to be looking into it from past discussions.

What.
Some people say it's confusing now if they don't know about the word filters. I'm saying it'd be potentially more confusing if say three people are using different "curse" words to mean the same thing. Right now, with the filters, we all use the same words in place of the curses.

Well yea, communicating like adults would be nice. Lots of childish fights and posters (at times) make me forget that most of us are actually grown up. I also wish more people used the ignore button.

Just to clarify, I wasn't accusing you or the mods of sitting on your hands, I just remember someone had mentioned an option would be the best-case, but it was right when we did the switchover to the updated Proboards and you were understandably engrossed in making all of that work.
I strive to live in a world where you don't even have to know this trick!
Speaking of censorhip, is it truly necessary to censor Dick's (tent pole? Are you f*cking kidding me, people?) name to "Boner?" It's insulting, you don't go around calling every Richard that you know "Boner" so you don't say a curse word, do you?

If my name happened to be D1ck, I would have made myself the poster child for abolishing these word filters long ago. That said, if the filters are removed, I may have to change my name to "Dickaroo"
Cuss yeah! I think I may love that movie so much because of this, for it reminds me to watch my mouth while at home with the kids. Not that it does a lot of good. Luckily, in the past when they have gotten in trouble for saying curse words at daycare, they always blame Brad.
Also, FWIW, I didn't vote for keeping the filters. If I choose to go on a cuss fit after Clemson loses to SC, as I did last year, for fuck's sake let it show my cuss fit.
