Why do wordfilters apply to URLs?

Yeah, that is the one part of wordfilters that bothers me. Doesn't usually come up, but it can be really annoying. Not sure how fixable it is, but I'd definitely put it on a "Want" list.

I don't think there's a way to tell the wordfilters to ignore URLs.

And if wordfilters were ignored in URLs, people would use them to get around the wordfilters.

Why do we still use wordfilters anyways? They were kinda amusing at first, but now they're just annoying. I can understand filtering common internet-insults, but outside of that, I don't see the point in doing it.

They're great for sifting out newfags.

They're still nice. Hell, I even write everypony/anypony just bacause I'm not sure if they're still filtered.

I love filters. [<3]

I've heard more technically inclined people than I say it'd be rather easy, you just include a thing that searches for the URL tag and not filter the things inside that.

Also there's already a thing to break filter so it's not much of an issue

Because somehow, for some reason, some people think they are still funny.

But you can already use a backslash to get around the wordfilters if you want to. They're only in there for fun and flavor.

>no we can't remove the filters, this poll taken by an ex-mod from a year and a half ago says that most people want the filters to stay

Also, remake /pony/ as /weeaboo/, cause which thing is still relevant after 4 seasons?

Encourage lurking for what? The in jokes in the wordfilters? Nobody has used most of them for ages. Generally when a wordfilter gets made people will giggle and chuckle and joke about it for a short while and then forget about them forever (or at least until someone dares point out they're old and tired.)

Wordfilters are part of what makes ponychan ponychan.
Removing them all, you might as well get rid of the pony in ponychan.

Rename /pony/ to /show/

Watch everyone lose their minds

Well that sure is an opinion. On the other hand, the ability to toggle them on and off with Px would make any reasonable adult happy.

Gee, and here I was thinking it was the community that made Ponychan what it is, not the inconsequential fart jokes that the site occasionally transfers our words into.

Because it is oh so hard to deal with your words not being what you wrote.
Please be less autistic. And post that cat thing again.

>>161494
Well, you were wrong. It's all about the fart jokes.

You know, I always loved 4chan's wordfilters, but they were also all temporary. They got removed after just a week or month or so when the joke wore out its novelty.

gotta love these meta-only posters.
