They say I have a bad word in my signature

[ Edited ]

It's been there for the last 10 years and never seemed to disturb anyone.

Now the system wants me to change it.

Not going to happen.

Here is your answer-

Anderton posted this in the feedback forum addressing another poster who made a comment about the censoring...

"The "bleep" thing is, unfortunately, the heavy hand of Google. We've been flagged repeatedly for "objectionable content." One time it led to that virus warning that scared everyone away. It's also led to being cut out of searches. Basically, we've been ordered to clean up our act by Google. We don't have enough moderators to deal with stuff, so we put in the filter and hopefully they'll leave us alone now."

So I can google countless amounts of the most horrific images, racist diatribe, and sex of any manner, but '**bleep**' causes Google to flip out?

Re: They say I have a bad word in my signature

This can be a clusterfuck for them.  Someone will have to update the words as we (users) start typing different spellings or slang words...


Drunk posting thread can get to be a real pisser after some of the **bleep** that used to go on in this mutherfucker.   This can be so entertaining to see which **bleep** words the assclowns use that might gget blocked by the **bleep** filter...  :smileyhappy:

Link to what is claimed to be Google's list of bad words.

Links don't work.

Re: They say I have a bad word in my signature

I could dig it if the filter consisted of words that related to musicians. I wonder if we could make "128kbps MP3" a bad word and thereby remove it from the face of the earth. Maybe "maximization," too. And how did they miss "Bieber"?

 

There are now eight music videos posted on my YouTube channel, including a cover of "We Gotta Get Out of This Place," which joins "Little Pieces", "Black Market Daydreams," and "When the Grid Goes Down" (complete with disturbing video )

Oh, another element not mentioned in the post of mine quoted previously but mentioned elsewhere is that it also relates to Google not serving ads to pages that don't meet their "standards." Seems pretty big brother to me, especially because their standards are really vague. They frown on pictures of women in "sexually suggestive positions." So does that mean Dean Guitar ads couldn't be served as Google ads because they would therefore be part of a page that didn't meet Google's standards? Where the fuck is my :facepalm: emoticon? :smileyhappy:

Re: They say I have a bad word in my signature

Wait... it didn't **bleep** you...  :manhappy:    LOL


Our Google overlords at work again...   I need to contact Google and see if they will add "LUG MP3" to the list of banned words...   And I agree with your submission of Bieber!!!
