You can post images that say "fuck" and those are perfectly fine (which they should be), so why is it moddable to "censor bypass" the same word hmm? I'll wait.

Pretty sure there's a site setting for a swear word filter and censor bypassing breaks it but simply swearing like normal allows the filters to catch the word.

But if you can just post a picture of the same word and that's fine, it seems silly

It makes perfect sense to me.

Edit: My wording sucked. To be more clear, I agree with you.

posting a picture doesnt break a feature tho. if somebody has pictures hidden by default they wont see it unless they click it and nothing you do can break that. censor bypassing actually gets past the filter.

I feel youre missing the point.

Why is posting a picture not censor bypassing? is the question.

It really seems dumb in light of the image thing. Yes, I get it, images aren't displayed by default, but who the https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/6/9/AAe-HEAAExx1.png is going to avoid opening images purely on the offchance they might contain an F word or two?

because posting a picture doesnt bypass a censor. the picture censor still works. theres a filter that lets you just block images or only show the link, and so since that filter cannot be broken there is no "censor bypassing" text censor bypassing actually bypasses a censor hence its "censor bypassing"

i just dont click on any images at all when at work or a similar place which i assume is true for a lot of people that also use the word filter. not specifically because of cursing but because you never know what the hell its going to be

Censor bypassing shouldn't be a thing except for offensive stuff. Posting a picture of the word "fuck" shouldn't be a violation. Posting a picture of racist shit should be.

Posting a picture of the word fuck is not a violation. However, typing fuck with only the U starred out (or similar) is one. That's what comes across as nonsensical.

If the profanity filter only filters (not outright blocks) a word, it's not a violation to use it in an image, even uncensored.
