Censor Updates - Your Help Needed
Hi Everyone!
As most of you know, we censor phrases in chats. We do this to ensure the safety of the community. We have not updated our censors in some time. I'd like to give you all the opportunity to recommend censor updates based on your experiences at 7 Cups. Right now our censors are not catching all of the inappropriate content that is being said & if we are able (and where appropriate), we'd like to try and address that problem.
I created a form for you to submit updates to our censor list.
You should submit items that are following:
1) Are not currently censored
2) Are hurtful or abusive
3) Inviting or engaging in a sex chat (be careful here, we do allow sexual problems to be discussed).
4) Other graphic or racist phrases which should never be said between a member & a listener.
You can submit your suggestions here!
Thank you!
I looked at the form and my suggestions don't work for it. I don't think a censor should be used in 1-1s. It's too easy for it to catch someone who is simply getting/giving support.
For example, someone may want to discuss something related to facebook. So I don't think facebook, fb, etc. should be censored. If someone wants to give their facebook information out they don't need to say something like "look me up on facebook" Just saying something like Facebook <insert name> gets that point across.
The same goes for group chat phrases, although I do think it's reasonable to *** out certain words. I disagree with some that have been starred out in the past. Anal has been one. Proper terminology should not be censored out IMO.
If phrases are going to be censored in 1-1s, from listeners only how about:
k or ok (again nothing else included)
how r u
@Laura This is really useful. Thank you for allowing members and listeners access and help with this. I hope everyone can feel supportedand respected equally and no harm comes from certain words or phrases. Thank you again Laura for your amazing work.
