Journal Chacham's Journal: Slashdot Habits: profanity filter musings and updates 14
So, my profanity filter is doing what i want it to do. That is, foe people who speak in a such a way that i choose not to see, and give them a -6 modifier. This way i don't see them again, yet they can comment here should they choose to. It's crude, but it works.
An issue that seems to be is people think one of two things. One, that i foe them because i disagree with them. Two, they don't like being foed. Number one isn't true, but, i fear, people believe that because they *want* to believe that, so i'm not sure i could do anything to change it. Although, i am open to suggestions. As for number two, i had an idea. Make a user called "Chacham's profanity filter", or the like, and have that user friend everybody who i want as foes. Then, foe him, and -6 all friends of foes. That way, i could "friend" them to filter them. Neat idea, ain't it?
So, i just checked, but there are no friend of foe modifiers. Oh well.
On another note, i've been reading the stories via email at the end of the day. Usually two stories per day interest me enough to check out the comments, which is set at +5 (and lowered in some cases, such as where there are not enough +5 comments (<10) or i really want to see more), although, last week i seem to have had more than one day where i looked at more than three stories. Now it's just a matter of figuring out if
The games section is odd. I want to turn it off so i don't see messages about what is the latest review of some game. But, seemingly, there is some actual news there. Perhaps they should separate it into three subsections, announcements, reviews, and rumors.

And the dummy account's name doesn't need to be as obvious as "Chacham's profanity filter."
If someone's upset at being foed by an account that doesn't post, has no friends and 113 foes, then there's really nothing you can do to spare their feelings.
