Kathul.1280 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I do not think you know what this word means, but then again who does? Seriously , either stop using it on the forums or articulate your thoughts better. Everything can't be Kitten. Kitten me for using a kitten.

Tanner Blackfeather.6509 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 OP, in case you weren't aware - the forum profanity filter automatically switches out various censored words with the word "kitten". This is deliberatlely chosen in order to be a bit humorous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is deliberatlely chosen in order to be a bit humorous. I have to admit I have occasionally written kitten deliberately when I wanted the added emphasis but couldn't think of a suitable word that wouldn't be filtered. But I've also seen posts which would really have benefited from their poster editing it to replace at least some of the filtered words so it makes sense. "Why the kitten is this kitten kitten so kitten kitten kitten!?" is a difficult question to answer, unless maybe you spend a lot of time talking to smurfs.

I'd like to by a random phrase generator instead that mocks the user for their inadequate linguistic prowess and their innate need to use profane words. You know spice it up a bit, some Shakespeare here or there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be amusing, especially with the right substitutes in the right places. But one advantage of the kitten filter is most people on the forum know what it means, whereas if it was inserting random words or phrases it wouldn't be obvious it was filtered and could just look like the poster was typing nonsense. Also apparently part of the reason they picked the word kitten is it softens the impact of whatever was said by making it sound silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sorudo.9054 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 i never saw the harm in just using ****, it prevents confusion when you are literally talking about kittens...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menadena.7482 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 The annoying thing with the automated filter is it sometimes replaces non-swearing text (like two words that happen to be next to each other) with kitten. Then it becomes a puzzle in trying to figure out what was said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
