Hey forum mods,
How about changing the "RED ENGINE GO" filter into something new? isn't it about time?
With RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing love,
Foo.

p.s. no filters were using in the making of this post, it's all my original text.

When I first came across this filter, I thought the word "gored" was supposed to mean something. o_o

Perhaps 'Go Red' could be replaced with 'Tribbles^n', as a trial period? Don't ask why Tribbles, I just like the little guys.

It's been this way since the filter was up, I believe, much like the original Don Quixote title theme.

Unlike the Quixote, I doubt it's going to be changed. It's got a rich history of being "WTF'd," and is generally liked, as far as swear filters go.

Speaking of goofy swear filters, saw one on a site that turns "Jesus Christ" into "Optimus Prime."

It also stems from the practice of "forum firetrucking" in which a mod would swoop in and extinguish a flame war. When a flame war erupted, people would post "Go red engine" repeatedly to alert people that soon a mod would be there and possible disciplinary action was imminent.

Also, thread rez from 2007. Way to go Yang. :P

I wasn't the one who bumped it

Now the explanation is there and we can dispense with the questions about meaning in the future.

It sort of RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOs up the effective brevity of certain expletives, although I do believe in most cases curse words are just lazy word choices.

i think its annoying tbh

it draws attention to the fact someone has used profanity.

think it would be much much better all words changed to a non caps word(s). Maybe cabbages? or flying pigs.

I agree, it needs a change!

Also it is maybe funny to a few people but i have no clue why red engine gored bla bla stuff is so good

i have read the post some place on this forum explaining the reason behind this but i am still not getting it

I vote for a change to furry cabbages /fish and chips or something along those lines!
