Dictionary Dancing on the DIS and other DIS Board Guidelines

[LoriR]

We are reminding everyone not to post direct VMK dictionary dancing
quotes that end up bypassing DIS filtered words. Describing some of
these shocking scenes on the boards only exposes even more to what
they shouldn't ever have to see in the game. If it's something you feel
needs to be reported in the game, it probably should not be posted
here.

Please understand the boards need to stay family friendly.

Like something that notices bad words from posts because they are inappropriate for the boards.

um, was that serious, or a joke???? anyways, i'm one of those very gullible people (my friend who sits in front of me had my agenda in his hand and i was freaking out because i couldn't find it), so i'll explain as best i can. like in vmk if you try to say a word that's not in the vmk dictionary, it will blink red and you won't be able to say it. i guess it's kind of like that, but i'm confused a bit because on the dis we can misspell things and nothing happens. if only some words are allowed, then how can we misspell a word??? then again, i suppose it is much more complicated than that..................

Mal since some people are having a hard time understanding the filter concept i copied a few things from the rules to add here

2. NO PROFANITY: Profanity has no place on these boards. The boards are equipped with censoring software and will not permit messages containing inappropriate language to be posted. Profanity includes attempts to bypass the built in filter that these boards contain to avoid such words. Anyone found trying to bypass the filter will have their posting privileges revoked. Further, profanity includes suggestive or inappropriate photos. This is a family site, and other sites exist that contain more lenient guidelines regarding such matters.

3. NO FIGHTING: Several Internet news groups are marred by the actions of a few selfish people who turn an otherwise positive forum into a soap box for their anger issues. Internet newsgroups are not moderated, and therefore, anything goes. These boards are moderated in an effort to keep the discussions appropriate to the topic at hand. Those who feel they can not abide by these rules are welcome to read the posts on the board, and respond via email to the person who posted the message. Messages that are argumentative or sarcastic in nature will be deleted without discussion.

6. STAYING ON TOPIC: The boards are named to reflect general topics. Please refrain from asking questions about park hours on the DVC board, or questions about the Caribbean Beach on the Trip Reports board.

7. MODERATORS: For each forum on the DIS, a moderator(s) has been chosen to oversee a particular board. Moderators have the authority to delete or edit posts as needed, based on these guidelines. Moderators act with the full authority of the webmaster, and their decisions on all matters are final.

We do not believe in censorship, and open discussions about various issues is encouraged. We ask that everyone conduct himself or herself with respect when speaking to other people. It is okay to disagree, as long as the discussion remains respectful of the feelings of others. Once a discussion begins to step over that line, the post in question will be deleted. In extreme cases, individuals who are not able to conduct themselves as responsible group members will be asked not to return.

mal means words that sound like bad words that ppl would know what they meant without even the corect spelling.


Some ppl use these words i pirates.


an example that isn't bad but is still an example is:

lose her (ppl say this to me a lot in pirates becuase they cannot say loser)


see what i mean it is spelt different but they mean something completly different


I hope that wasn't bad but what you meant



Thanks,
Alphawazup
