All they have to do then is lock the thread (which they would have done anyway), & the problem's solved.

<< I do seem to sense a feeling of hostility towards me in some of your recent posts. >>
Hmmm....You'll have to point those out to me, Dennis. --Because I can't recall posting anything about you recently whatsoever. Interesting. Nor do I think I have posted in a single thread you have started. It's OK though. I don't really give a rat's. One other thing.... No. See, Americans never "fancy" themselves. Nor do they ever give a thought to Miss Marple. It's a good thing you're signed on as Dennilfloss right now is all I know.

<< Russ: All I saw was that he posted the banned phrase. >>
Click the "edit" feature in my post.
Russ, NCNE
I don't have the edit button showing for anyone but myself now, I figured they fixed that. That does make sense, that somebody could see how to do it from that. But I doubt he posted it thinking anybody would click on that and see how to do it, I am sure that was just a matter of not thinking. And before you say it, I know if he never posted it in the first place, he would not have had to worry about that.... 
I can still see 'edit' for every post. So Russ has basically told everyone how to see how someone defeated the language filter then? He gonna get banned? :disgust:
OOH COOL! I have your edit button showing here. I didn't realize that worked! Hey, Russ, YOU should be banned for showing how to break the filters! --Oh wait. Scratch that. You only showed how to quote. And you can't be banned because you are just a program anyway. Duh. What revision are you in, BTW? When I got off the beta team, you were still in rev. 3.3.4.
(BTW, I see they fixed that "I gave you a 10 because I gove everybody a 10" bug,)

GirlFriday,
HMM.. all the rest of us can see the edit feature. There's a thread about it over in Forum Issues. We can't use it to change anything, but it does show the contents of the post.

BTW....is everyone who bypasses the filters going to get banned now? Because I saw an elite do it today to add in a curse word. Are there different rules for this? And what about those threads (I can't count how many) where the posts are nothing but people responding with the word "eb@y" (obviously spelled correctly)? We get like 10 or so of those a week. ban them all?

There are probably situations where getting around the language filter are appropriate.
For example, when x.com used to be a banned phrase, it was impossible to link to 3dfx.com. I find it highly unlikely that anyone would have been banned for using the well known limitations of the language filter to make 3dfx.com show up properly.
Also, the language filter rule could be interpreted very loosely... People on this board frequently use ! to represent i, v to represent u, etc. to say what they want anyway. Is that defeating the language filter?

wait, I'm confused...if the edit button is there by each post, does that mean someone could edit a post that isnt theirs? that wouldnt make sense
gee...
to think I originally figured it out on my own, without Paulson's or Russ's help.
ANYWAY>>>>
IMHO, filters are there for a reason. If someone wants to defeat them, that is their risk.
If somone wants to post WTF or fvck or $hit.... (well, you get the point), they're going to do it and we all understand what's being said. In fact, they do it all the time and they're not banned for it. It's just another way of defeating the filters, isn't it?
I do not think people should be allowed to do that sort of thing, but it happens.

Weird, I don't have it showing anymore, except for my posts. I am logged in, does that make a difference maybe? I know they made it that way for people who are not.
sw...
You can click it, view the plain text contents of the post, & even edit that... But as soon as you try to hit "Update," it will tell you:
"No, you stupid dumbass, you didn't make this post. Now go find somewhere else to troll!"
Well, not exactly... But you get the picture.

thanks Viper. I would have tried it, but i was scared it might actually work. that make any sense?
GF,
Are you using Netscape or an early version of IE by any chance?
Viper,
I don't think that's the exact wording of the message.

With Paulsons posting stalled and whatnot, he's gonna lose second place on the Top 10, he'll be passed by Russ soon.
Russ: I am using IE 5.0, I wonder if thats the problem. Not that its any big deal, I was just wondering.
Alright Mr Smartypants snow patrol, that is fifty lashes with a wet noodle for you!
Zippy: Thank you for confirming that I am not crazy! I am not the only one who does not see the Edit then?

GF - at the very bottom of every post, do you see the words Reply Top Bottom Next Previous Edit?
If you don't I have no idea what the problem is. If the word edit is there, then click on it in Russ' post.
It isn't really a "button", maybe that's the confusion.

Michael: I have all those options on my post, but on others all I have is [ Reply | Top | Bottom | Next | Previous ]. That is copied directly off the screen from snow patrols post.
