I think it's about time I was promoted to moderator. My first act would be to ban mtulz permanently.

You make a compelling argument.

Vote away. Every MLB game today has been added. I will try to do that every day. I'll try to throw in some WNBA games as well.

Actually WNBA games are pretty easy to bet on and win. The favorite usually wins as there is little parity in the league.

The swear filter is ready to go but I want some people to test it and let me know how it works before I turn it on for everyone (and they can then turn it off if they don't want it).

I need one person for each of the following browsers to test and make sure it doesn't break the site:
IE6
IE7
IE8
Chrome
Firefox on Windows

I've tested on Safari and Firefox on a mac.

Check in on this thread with the browsers you can test on and I will tell you how to turn it on. Anyone can help out on this, even people who don't want to use the filter in the future.

Everything seems fine so far on Firefox 3.6.8 on a Windows 7 machine, its blocking the words and no loss of functionality that I'm seeing.

IE8 looks OK too

This filter is proof that the language isn't as bad on this site as people make it out to be, I'm having trouble locating swear words to see if they were filtered.

Just went into settings and there is a Profanity filter and a swear filter. Is there a reason to have both other than seeing which one works?

Only one now. They both turned on the same functionality, I was just testing the ease of implementing with a checkbox vs radio buttons. Radio buttons win.

I don't consider ass and piss to be worthy of the swear filter. One thing I noticed is that if you quote a post with swearing it doesn't block it. I'll work on seeing if I can block that as well.

I don't either, but I said it because anyone who is actually using a swear filter most likely will consider it profanity. I see both sides of that one.

Yeah tough call on ass. What about asshole? I don't have an issue with it or any swear word but like ts said, someone who uses the filter might.
