I propose that the word 'nerf' be added to gwgurus profanity filter. My suggestion is that 'nerf' be automatically translated to 'improvement' and 'nerfed' to 'improved'.
The basis for this suggestion is the severe and increasing over- and mis-use of the term 'nerf' in the fora.
TIA.
(as an aside, I'd also suggest that 'RED ENGINE GO' be replaced with 'I'm a potty-mouth, please wash my mouth with soap'. But I digress.)
Nerf nerf!

Haha, that would be hilarious. But I'm sure they go back to edit the post to duck under the filter.
If it ever was added, changing 'godly' to 'okayish' would help to.

I like the idea of adding 'godly' but would suggest it was simply deleted. It doesn't mean anything, so removing it doesn't change anything.

Sign me up for these suggestions (especially the mouth wash one).

To continu this list:
'Uber' ==>'terrible' or deleted enterily The problem with 'nerf' is that it is a word that can have a normal meaning. Somethimes ANet does 'nerf' something. In which case it isn't an 'improvement' but a 'downgrade' (that sounds terrible). It goes bad when 'nerf' is misused for bugfixes or 'ANet nerfs everything. it's stupid'. maybe 'nerf' ==> 'changes' EDIT: roxorz / r0x0rz = 'good by my standards' or deleted entirely rotflcopter --> 'I laugh like a helicopter' lollerskates --> 'laughing like Fred Astaire' or something like that.

There are a few installed allready on GWG. They are called mods and admins. Unfortunately, they can't stop all the madness altough they try.

Hmmm... Yes, that's better, but you'd have to make it 'nerf' ==> 'change'.
Seconded.

There is nothing against idiocy in the forum rules. Idiot is subjective anyway, and everybody is someone else's idiot.
Enforcing the current forum rules requires a lot of work (the amount of forum posts is just too big), so we'd need arms of mass deletion against stupidity.

omg wtf anet nerfed my petz attk cuz ther n00bs
my petz attk r0zz0red Posts like this should not be edited, but deleted. Or edited severely, an example of a grammar-less, leetspeek, bad spelling post (seen above) should become: "I am a grammarless 'leetspeeking' retard who needs to pay attention in English class and learn how to spell, please ignore my comments until I learn how to type them out properly." |
