Ok, I made a bo bo and the word is christian. I am dealing with a birth defect that is considered by some to be immoral. There are cases of children being punished so we need to make the website as clean as possible not so much for the parents but for the welfare of the children. If we get the parents there, we don't want the reading a foul post and deciding they were right after all. As for a script to correct the language, there already exist something like that in the software. The site is run on a much more current version of the same software running on this web site. The problem is the dirty word filter isn't smart enough to eliminate all the creative ways dirty language can be used such as f_o_u_l w_o_r_d. Other problems is personal attacks and some special issue to prevent self harm. It takes a crew of moderators to read through the posts and there are still people who aren't moderators who hit the report to moderator button that appears on each post. |

Sounds like you are doing a tough job for a good cause. I also know how hard it is to shift mental gears like that. You get no grief from me, Dena. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

I especially like the cat's expression. It says either "Yes, I really am an airline captain" or "You have three seconds to get this crap off of me before I shred your face. Two, one..." Are we Setizens supposed to adapt to christian "moral"? No way!!!!! The "movement" Moral Majority from the 80's comes to mind:( |

I think most of us are already aware of what is acceptable/not acceptable around here. What I find unacceptable is a third party telling me that when posting I should take their personal beliefs and easily offended sensabilities into account. A big massive "bollocks to that" from me.

What happened was someone only quoted half of Dena's post, she replied, so it then seemed as though she was talking about SETI@Home She was not. This is the original post on the 17th Sept

Yes, but she responded to my fairly mild word as though she were a mod here. This site is not the one where she is a mod. If she doesn't like the language here, she should red-X it and let the actual mods deal with it. What happened was someone only quoted half of Dena's post, she replied, so it then seemed as though she was talking about SETI@Home David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Speaking of raccoons, I will be getting a raccoon trap from Animal Control tomorrow in order to trap and relocate (one of) my nighttime intruder(s). For the past few nights I've been getting no sleep thanks to one smart and persistent little fella who comes into my bedroom looking for cat food, once all available food is gone from the dining room and kitchen. (Some time back I quit leaving cat food out in the dining room over night, hoping the raccoons would go away. Instead, I put two large bowls of cat food in my bedroom so the cats could have something to eat.) This guy will come into my bedroom anywhere from midnight to seven o'clock in the morning looking for food. My dog - Buddy the chihuahua - will hear him crunching on the cat food and start barking, which wakes me up, of course. The raccoon will run away, but he'll come back in about 15 or 20 minutes to try again. This goes on until I, finally, get out of bed and put some food outside. Once I've done that I don't hear from him again that night.*** I love the little guy, but I need to get on a normal* sleep schedule. At this point I'm up all night and sleeping all day. I'm also trying to feed my cats a better quality of food, which is more expensive than the cheap crap, and I don't want to "feed the raccoons" the more expensive cat food. I wouldn't mind if I had money to burn, but I don't. (Come on Publisher's Clearing House!!!) So I'll probably trap the poor little guy tomorrow night by leaving the baited** trap just inside my bedroom. It'll break my heart, but it's him or me! I'll take pictures. -- *I realize that normal is different for everyone. Personally, I just want to sleep and night and be active during the day. **I'll use lemon creme cookies because the cats don't like those, but the raccoons do. ***It occurred to me, after rereading this post, that this raccoon has me very well trained. :-/ ~Sue~ |
