Obviously added s and Ing to the words are suppose to be banned, I had to implement my own system to clear up all by the N words and c..t.
To be serious though, this wakes my professional self. Take it from someone who has worked in software for many years, making your own pattern-matching profanity filter is generally considered a "don't do it". Either try to find some existing, off-the-shelf lib, or don't do it. Regexing for substrings that may contain profanity is a lot more mistake-prone than it seems.
Or you'll run into the Scunthorpe problem [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem] which is pretty much right where you'll be heading next. Or you'll make the Clbuttic mistake [https://thedailywtf.com/articles/The-Clbuttic-Mistake-]

For a throwaway no holds barred thread, quite a few of you have thin skin considering the guy I was talking to took it as a joke himself

I didn’t take it as a joke. I consider you as childish so I’m not gonna man up on you. Just so we’re clear here.

I also love how the thread is called GREAT NEWS! And then when you enter it’s just an entire wall of degenerate fuckery
I sincerely thought @purplepittabread88 was quitting and wanted to leave us pansies with a big ol FUCK YOU message

My wife isn’t even American and I’ve paid a heavy price over the years for using that word in anger lmao. Ugh. HEAVY.
My mom absolutely fucking hates that word so it feels super weird when I use it, even at 31 years old lol

TBH when I saw the thread title I thought we had signed a new player, extended a contract, or somebody had a baby or something. Discovering the profanity filters were turned off was kind of a letdown. lol

It’s one I wish I’d never heard lol. But it sure comes in handy if I want (stupidly) to take an argument to DECON 1
