The site's gone nuts.

It's not letting me type some things. c-patt becomes c-patt. Corey becomes Corey. What's going on here? Edited August 28, 2005 by otis89

GRRRRR. That's not what I'm typing you piece of %$#@! :x

Oh, and, sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I wasn't sure where else to post it.

Tim put some language filters on for certain words.

Why is it wrong to call Patterson CPatt with a K?

Mostly because that's not how you spell his name and it's being done to be condescending towards Corey...something that doesn't need to happen.

But we can still call Holla Hollandsworthless? OK

Well, I don't agree with doing that either, but until Tim puts in a check for that, I'm sure it'll continue.

Basically, it's Tim's site and if he wants to do it that way, he can.

 

No one would tell you how to arrange furniture in your house, would they?

Tim puts filters on for the most common condescending names, not all of them (it wouldn't be possible to filter out every demeaning nickname). Someone recently asked the same question with respect to referring to MacPhail as MacPhail. More people were using demeaning nicknames for Corey than for Hollandsworth or MacPhail, so that's what he turned word censors on for. If more people start using demeaning nicknames for Hollandsworth and MacPhail he'll probably turn on the word censors for them as well. The reason for this is that it is possible to criticize players and other personnel without resorting to the juvenile tactics of using demeaning nicknames.
