Yeah but you can type cuss words into the post box and it doesn't reject it, so that's not the same filter.


*facepalm*

*forehead slide*

*facedesk*

Just because the global filter allows certain things in certain contexts doesn't means it's not the same filter you [stops before getting modded for flaming] confused individual.

I understand exactly what you're trying to tell me. I'm not confused, I just think you're wrong. Again, I know a little HTML, not a whole lot. Unless people here actually code HTML I don't want to hear it.

I know PotD likes to argue adamantly about things they're not knowledgeable about, but this is almost scary. What else are people so dead wrong about?

Let me sit down and give you a little lesson.

Almost every programming language uses a thing called "strings". Strings are data types that hold sentences and series of letters. To apply a word filter, you have to pass a string. The whole body of HTML that displays the entire website IS NOT A SINGLE STRING. There is no "global filter", or any hilariously technically incompetent gibberish going on itt. Everything is micromanaged.

Right click this page and press "inspect" or "view source". See all that URL randomly generated gibberish? Do you think you can filter the word "tit" from there with a "global filter"? No, you would break things.

Maybe you should stop hitting your head.
