Because some of you asked, here is the official list of words and phrases banned by our SPAM filter: (SPAMMY phrases): cool site, good site, nice site, dating site, millionaires, AgelessMate; fashionbags; (Words I don’t like): c*nt, ni**er, and the newly added: faggot, fag, faggotry, and LOL; and the two words voted on by you all: “Squee” and “teh.” And, so far as I know, there’s only one banned commenter, though someone else is cutting it close.

Speaking of Kevin Smith, here is a new movie poster for Red State featuring Melissa Leo’s character. (SlashFilm)

May I hazard a guess as to WHO that close to banned commenter might be?

And, may I compliment you on the sudden emergence of italics for no apparent reason? They make everything look.....friendlier.

My God, the temptation is overpowering to use one of tehse banned words.

But how do I get around the filter?

By the way, what is f*g go try? Is that one of those new hip phrases, like "child please" or "that's so gay" or "deal with it"?

By the way, I also hate the word "cant". Its a word for losers and failures.

By the way, how many times do I have to use by the way to get by the way banned?

And I'm ok with banning "****ionaires", just so long as Stallionaires is not banned. Holla at yo boy.

Banning the word c*nt? Really? Even for Scottish people? You're a pure fud, Rowles.

Posted by: TSF at December 30, 2010 1:43 PM

Brian Williams made an appearance on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me several months back, and was awesomely humble and funny. It doesn't surprise me at all that he rocked Jon Stewart and Tina Fey.

He doesn't impress me at all as a journalist - his talents are much like Mike Rowe and Tom Bergeron - but he's an awesome dude anyway.

So Genghis Khan was, like, the original Stallionaire?

Posted by: Kballs at December 30, 2010 2:18 PM

Genghis Khan was, in fact, the original Stallionaire. After achieving moderate musical success throughout the Mongol Empire, he then went on to star in his own vh1 produced reality TV show, "U Khan Be My Ho," in which 20 virgins competed for the chance to be his loveslave.

Interesting list of banned words Rowles, so if for instance I say Eddie Murphy, would that be banned?

Posted by: Pookie at December 30, 2010 2:43 PM

For etymology purposes only Rowles, is the word ni**as banned also.

Posted by: Pookie at December 30, 2010 3:05 PM

Yeah, can't say I'm a fan of banning any words. Language is thought, and trying to curb that is akin to a fool's errand. Or a jerk's. But, it's your site, Dustin, and since I don't use those words anyway (also not a fan), I guess I won't be affected. Still, as I've said: Draconian Policies + Internet = Epic Fail.

Though, I do worry about an accidental t-e-h and then losing an entire post. I fear this because it's happened. And it sucks Kballs. This is why republics are better than democracies, silly Pajibites.

@Ian: I generally love anything Oswalt does, but I think he's severely misguided in that essay. He sounds like Ebert crying into his bran flakes about video games not being art. He's telling the kids to get off his lawn. It's nice he wants his daughter to have the same childhood he did, but nobody in the last 70 years has had that. It's the future, it's gonna happen, and you can't stop it. (Unless his tongue is planted firmly in cheek, in which case his genius does continue.)

RobP, any site proprietor who allows you to intimate that he is either a fool or a jerk without comment or consequence doesn't seem overly preoccupied with thought control.

Posted by: sansho1 at December 30, 2010 3:51 PM

You just put a list of words I now must use in the course of these postings.

Good game, Dustin, good game.

Posted by: Zerath at December 30, 2010 3:56 PM

Even SomethingAwful and 4chan, the veritable cesspools of the Internet, have banned words lists. It's not like this is a revolutionary tactic. I'm still trying to figure out why Laughing Out Loud is banned, though.

Posted by: duckandcover at December 30, 2010 3:58 PM

you can imagine what a letdown this past year was when you compare it to first contact and a second fucking sun in the sky.

who said they were getting tired of dystopian sf in an earlier thread? LOOK AROUND, FOLKS! we are living it.

Posted by: splinter at December 30, 2010 4:03 PM

I'm still trying to figure out why Laughing Out Loud is banned, though.

Mainly because it's a frequently used phrase in spambot posts, and thus banning it is an easy way to weed those out.

Also, because it's fucking annoying.

Posted by: TK at December 30, 2010 4:05 PM

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at December 30, 2010 4:35 PM

Forty four posts so far and I can't believe no one has commented on Tucker Carlson's wish that Michael Vick had been executed. I mean, I know fooling around with a list of banned words is fun and all, but don't we still have the capacity to be appalled? I'm pretty jaded but Carlson's rant doesn't seem to have given many people pause. Politics aside, Carlson's more useless than insightful but he's not typically a flame-thrower and can't easily be dismissed as such. Perhaps the whole thing isn't sufficiently tidy or straight-forward.

(And I'm a liberal who thinks that many of the Salon.com writers and reader-commenters are cranky ideologues...)

Posted by: Not a hair splitter at December 30, 2010 4:35 PM

Being appalled at Tucker Carlson is my standard approach, so until I get my hands on a thesaurus and can figure out how to ratchet up my disgust, I will refrain from commenting on his jackassery.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at December 30, 2010 4:48 PM

I totally agree sansho1, hence why I still love this site, and Dustin. It's because I know if I don't act like a complete f*ckwad we can disagree and still be cool. I'm just not a fan of any form of censorship. But I get the control issues, and they're probably a big reason why Pajiba has a great comments section.

But I don't have to like the method.

Posted by: RobP at December 30, 2010 4:59 PM

Yeah, I imagine it's just easier than full-on moderation, which is a thankless task for just about anyone not already a member of the ninny patrol over at TWoP.

Posted by: sansho1 at December 30, 2010 5:16 PM

Oswald writes, "Everything we have today that’s cool comes from someone wanting more of something they loved in the past."

I don't think that's exactly right. It's not wrong certainly, but he's discounting inspiration. I might change his comment to read, "Everything we have today that's cool comes from someone wanting more or becoming inspired by something they loved in the past." People aren't just hungry for more content; they're inspired to create. This is where the individual glimmer really shines.

By becoming exposed to more music, more writing, more ways of thinking (ranging from philosophy, religion or fan-boy nonsense) we expand our minds and grow exponentially. Our potential explodes, and the art we create in the future reflects a variety of different influences rather than the myopic perspective of the past.

I enjoyed that article; thanks for posting it. I don't agree with everything, but thanks to the internet I've been privey to a new way of thinking and a new subject to dwell on.

Posted by: superasente at December 30, 2010 5:23 PM

Paultera, I've had to stop for the night a few times. Never ending roadwork on that highway, it seems. I won a karaoke contest at one bar I wandered in. I felt like I was in Duets in that place.

Posted by: thatstrangewoman at December 30, 2010 5:51 PM

That's exactly what I was thinking, superasente. Yeah, we have the Hitler/Downfall meme, but that isn't the entirety of pop culture, much less all culture (which is basically pop culture now). A lot of the mash-up type stuff he describes are really just hi-tech collages. It's just one of the effects of living in a super-modern society.

Brian Williams made an appearance on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me several months back, and was awesomely humble and funny.

I was at that taping - at Carnegie Hall no less - and there was so much more that didn't make it into the show. Here's a blog post (not mine) about the show. I'm not surprised he was a crackup in the clip above, on Wait Wait he was hysterical. Everyone was laughing out loud.

Posted by: Rykker at December 30, 2010 8:54 PM

Tucker Carlson was a denatured pig when he was on Crossfire, and since he's still cadging about for a steady job at Fox he has to ratchet up the lunacy to near-astronomic levels.

What Vick did was reprehensible, and he went to prison for it. That was the penalty, and he was duly punished. Boom. End of story. After getting out of the joint, it was up to Vick to find steady employment and get his life back on track - which he seems to have done.

Did it warrant execution? Nope.

Funny, though - his goddess, Sarah Palin, shot down a defenseless moose. Will he call for her execution as well? Or is this yet another example of the false equivalency that is part of the stock in trade?

Posted by: The Wanderer at December 30, 2010 9:06 PM

Michael Vick seems to have reformed himself and is playing it pretty upright. But, Palin, man, when my so-called friends at book club started praising her to high heaven for killin' a furry animal who decided to graze within her gun sights, I realized that I need to rethink my friends list.

I think there's no coincidence that the people who lurve Palin for her "balls" are the same ones who want to regulate our sex lives and censor our reading material. There's a real doublethink going on between their view of freedom and control.

Posted by: spljt at December 30, 2010 9:44 PM

First off.....who is Tucker Carlson? Is he one of those "Oh we need someone who can make the actual reporters look less stupid," cases they bring out on occasion? And since when does Michael Vick need to die? The guy did his time, realized he screwed up, and apologized, and now has turned the dog thing into something good. So where does this goomba who thinks he has the right to judge our issues, come forth and say "DIE VICK DIE!?!"

secondly.....GI Joe....how about we forget about that. Yes, I realize that it was good as a cartoony series and all that, but why are supporting cast/cannon fodder even making a list, especially on CRACKED?!!

Thirdly.....Candace.....that's old news...

Posted by: LordNinja at December 30, 2010 11:20 PM

I thought "Tucker Carlson" was a British nickname for Daniel.

Posted by: duckandcover at December 31, 2010 12:08 AM

The Human Centipede done with the cast of The Hills and directed by the Coen brothers.

I enjoyed that part, but I couldn't really get behind the whole article.

Oh and I lawled at thelastpageoftheexcitingadventuresoftheforceunstoppable.

I'm not a fan of censorship, but context is important. It bothers me when the Comedy Network censors the word f*g in episodes of Kids in the Hall. Especially when it butchers Scott Thompson sketches. On a website where any anonymous person can spew hate, I can understand. Especially after reading the comments of the person I assume was cutting it close to being banned. Or even in the case of the asshole that was banned.

Why is it always the vowel that gets the *? Huh? Why can't you pick on the n instead? Why can't it be cu*t? *obody really likes the n. Fu*k the n.* It's half the letter an m is.

You must be some kinda vowel *azi, Mr. Dusti*. I urge my fellow commenters to stand up against vowel prejudice. All it takes for evil to flourish is for good people to do *othi*g.

Who's with me? Dow* with vowel haters!

*--Yeah, that DOES read "funk the n."

(First time poster)

As mentioned before, it's one thing to ban words because they are usually spam or hate-filled but it's another thing to heavily moderate. I'm looking for a new blog to call home because I got sick of the moderation at my old blog (Celebitchy). It's nice to be able to disagree and not be deleted.

Posted by: Persistent Cat at January 2, 2011 12:58 AM

I'm with TSF about the banning of 'cunt'. I'm not Scottish, but as a Londoner, I get it. It's a funny word, and I use it a lot, too.

Over here it's funny, anyway. I understand that you colonials take it more seriously, and don't apply it indiscriminately to men, women, animals, objects, bad weather, and unlucky turns of fate, as we do. Instead, you reserve it for use as the worst thing you can call a woman. This is a sad, sad misuse of a fine old Saxon word!

Ya miserable cunts, ya.
