Kung <deleted> Panda, <deleted> Whittington.

 

Kung foo panda, Richard Whittington. ????????????

We wouldn't want corrupt the Thai's who read this site, now, would we?

I agree with Worgeordie that it has become too censored.

But swear words are becoming used too often and maybe it's not such a bad thing.... although the reasons for it may not be ideal. Who the flip knows? ????????

More like BC if you ask me, at least back than you could say almost anything, well, almost...

You cannot even mention the Football Association by abbreviation.

<deleted> happens

Thought I'd try the sh....t word, Sure enough deleted. And yet there is a prominent member who uses it at least five times in his tagline every time he posts.

Content in most instances has to conform with Google regs.

Although the profanity filter can be tweaked/added to as and when required, but comes preset on the platform to remove the obvious issues. 

 

All in line with the forum rule:

8.) You will not post disruptive or inflammatory messages, vulgarities, obscenities or profanities.

It sounds exactly like a Thai soap!

Because this forum is rated as a family oriented forum by Google, Google issued a warning to Thai Visa Forum a few years ago for allowing profanity as profanities violated Google's family oriented forum policy.  It was at that time that the profanity filter was brought into play.  Using profanity is also in violation of the following forum rule:

 

8.) You will not post disruptive or inflammatory messages, vulgarities, obscenities or profanities.
