Doug Taylor said:Some issues.
First, if you know the word is going to be filtered out by the profanity filter, well, don't use it.
Secondly, using a non-alphanumeric symbol like "*" in place of a vowel to get around the profanity filter isn't copasetic either. I know everyone's on edge with the industry, but doing that will result in an infraction.
Why, you ask?
Well, the Dali Llama himself called and said he was concerned that most of the posts were full of pound symbols and strategically-placed asterisks and he was going to write me a "Goodbye Cruel Site" post if it kept up.
Besides, "You guys are all ##### and I hope you ##### your #####, you ######" reeeally makes you sound like you're prone to temper tantrums and need a little Ritalin.
And that's on the unapproved list for airmen!
Have a great day.
Actually "hell" isn't even filtered. That's not the issue. Nor did anyone complain.
The problem is that you thought it was a word that isn't allowed, so you purposefully went out of your way to use the word anyway by using symbols instead of letters. The problem is the intent, not the action. If someone does it with hell or damn, then people think it's OK to do the same with ####, ####, and ######. That's what we're trying to avoid, so we think it's better that people don't try to circumvent the software filter. Does that make sense?

I guess like CRJ Driver said it could be a recycled ad. Wonder why a company would waste money on an ad but then again I guess it's just petty cash anyway. Didn't mean to mislead anyone by posting but was just putting up something I came across. Like I said before, if it were the case would've been some good news for the Comair guys.

Possible when they bought the ad they didn't know what was gonna happen down the road. I mean, seriously, did ANYONE see Comair getting slashed as much as they have coming? I know I didn't. They may have paid for the ad for XX months, and it's just still running.

I'm coming up on 4 years and I'll be gone in the next wave.

What a slap in the face! Once you think you are finally getting within range of captain, they decide to furlough. At least a year ago, it was taking about 5 years to upgrade...

This is no laughing matter.
Vis a vis the subject of profanity: I'm 100% on board for trying to keep the level of discourse reasonable. That said, when dudes get around and start talking, they're going to have some uh "colorful metaphors" to throw around. I, I think, make an earnest attempt (most of the time), to find creative ways to say the evil bad words that are in my heart. Using the "living room" analogy, this doesn't seem perverse or wrong to me. If we're in Doug's living room, and I'm happy to be there, then certainly at least the children have been put to bed? I'm not advocating just blindly typing whatever pottyspeak one feels at the moment, but if it is delievered in a carefully-constructed PG-13 way, where's the harm? I suppose the final authority on this would be Doug Himself, but I imagine the mods all share a similar aesthetic. So, mods, I put you to the question, if one does a reasonable facsimile of "cursing mildly", is this a violation of the "living room rule"? Fornicating A!
