The lameness filter is broken (again)

  • Slashdot is trying to be more politically correct to appease the snowflakes. Along with some APK links, the word "troll" triggers it, but in the past you had to use it more than once in the same post. Oh well, everybody knows how to get around it. Use what works, troII.. tro11... trol... etc.

    • That isn't a nice way to describe our deluge of Drumpf supporters here. Say it too many times and they might threaten to take action [youtube.com]

        So wait, now slashdot is filtering for content on the front end? I mean, the lameness filter always (except before it did) did basic checks for ascii art and all caps, but now they're checking for insulting people?

        This is a "spectacularly brain-damaged suggestion" and "drug-fueled".

        • Yeah, I have a feeling the filter is "learning" from what people are flagging as "inappropriate" in the bottom right corner of each comment.

        The same description goes for people who can't comment without bring him up :-)

        I've gotta ask, what's up with the Trump misspellings? At least "Shrub" had some humor to it when applied to Bush, but "Drumpf" makes you sound like a six year old. (If you're going to fall back on "that was his family name once upon a time," I wonder if you still refer to the Windsors as the Saxe-Coburgs?)

        Grow up. Maybe if we can start having political discourse as adults, we can do something about the absolutely toxic environment we have today.

          It's hard to have "adult discourse" when Trump lies, and then lies about lying, ad infinitum. There's no basis of reality behind anything he says, nothing but a momentary puff of vapor. He says whatever he thinks the audience in front of him wants to hear. Is he in front of a crowd of unemployed workers? Here comes the wall, built by Americans, paid for by Mexicans. News reporters? Trot out Hillary's email server. Military troops? Wipe out ISIS. Question his integrity, or call him out on any of the

          • So no, you may as well stoop to personal insults against him. The truth surely doesn't work.

            The better option is to ignore him, and Clinton too. The insults have no effect on the fan base on either side.

            I agree with just about everything you have to say about Trump, especially the lying part. He's the type of person to piss on you and tell you it's raining. I'm honestly not sure if he even knows he's lying, or if he's just a master of doublethink. Of course, most of that applies to Hillary as well

            Acting like a six year old doesn't solve this problem, it just makes it that much worse. It also has the side effect of making many reasonable people dismiss your arguments out of hand.

          It's a democrat thing. It's all over their raggedy web sites. I think it's silly and repulsive too.

          we can do something about the absolutely toxic environment we have today.

          Not gonna happen with the tribal fanbois. Their minds are set in stone. Only the non voters might be open to real discourse. Since they are a majority block, they could conceivably put both republicans and democrats out to pasture if they decide to get up and vote for alternatives. If

        • Interesting that in your comment you took the time to take offense at using the spelling of his name as it used to be, and even to insult me directly, yet you did not actually attempt to discuss any substantive matter. Would you like to talk about world trade? We can do that. Would you like to talk about national defense? We can do that. Health care? Taxes? Immigration? We can talk about those if you'd like. You suggested you want political discourse "as adults" yet you did not offer up any. Indee
    • Well, the word troll didn't trigger it in your reply, so maybe it's working on a point system?
