false jailing
« on: January 3, 2007 04:11 pm CST »
I was doing my biology homework and asked Tokath to define "homozygous" for me.  Not only did I get the proper definition of it, but I was jailed for saying h**o.  What the heck?!  can someone fix the censor to prevent false jailing?

Tokath's Defines rarely provide any actual useful information. I'm pretty sure it only gets its information from UrbanDictionary.com.

At any rate, it doesn't need fixing. We just have to add a word to the exclusion list when a legitimate word is found to be causing false positives. Homozygous is not a common word and was left out of the exclusion list.

Are you saying urbandictionary is useless information. Preposterous! Where else could I learn about this: http://http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Nigatron

That should be included as an exception.  It's a false trigger.

Is there a reason why you are spoofing one of my admin's names, btw?

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

BULL!  I was thinking of Japanese words to put as my alias.  Kamikaze was one of them, but it didn't catch on.  So Banzai was the next choice.  It was just dumb coincidence that I had name almost like yours.  I did not intend to spoof.
