minor rant ito hehehe
nagbabasa ako regularly ng online news ng Philippine Star at Inquirer.
minsan nagcocomment ako sa Phil Star.
to my surprise, sinecensor nila yung ibang words. today censored sa comment ko yung "ngoyngoy" at "bayaran". tsk tsk
hindi nila ilalabas yung comment mo hanggat hindi inaalis yung mga salitang banned sa forum tsk tsk
tapos ipagsisigawan nila freedom of expression?

November 4th, 2011 02:58 PM #5"Ngoyngoy"... yeah... and you're surprised it's censored?
Freedom of the press doesn't mean you can hurl insults at people without consequences. Forums like this don't take it so seriously, but a newspaper, and by extension, its website, is responsible for what's published inside. And they can be sued for slander and libel and stand to lose their license for anything printed therein.
Obviously, then, they don't want stuff like that on their website.
In other words, you can wear whatever you like when you go to a public market, but don't expect them to let you into a restaurant wearing only shorts and slippers (no shirt).

November 4th, 2011 03:40 PM #6how is ngoyngoy an insult? that is how i want to call him just like how others want to call GMA a crook.
plus i am not in a habit of insulting others in any forum. you can check all my posts here even in other forums bearing my username.
and how is "bayaran" even a word worthy of being banned?
there people there throwing insults at each other and i can understand they want to make the comment section clean. but they should do it in a better way. or just delete the comments section.

November 4th, 2011 03:55 PM #7As said. Their site. Their responsibility. Theirs to run any way they want.
Just as tsikot is a private site, and they can choose to allow people here to say certain things, but not post certain things (nude pictures, gory pictures, etcetera). Here, you can say Ngoyngoy or Nognog all you want, but post several times in a row in textspeak and you get banned.
You're free to write anything you want online, with one caveat: Websites are the private property of their respective owners, which is where the "no shirt no shoes" rule comes in.
And how is "Ngoyngoy" not an insult?
Are you trying to tell me it means "Intelligent and handsome" in your local dialect?
You could always, y'know... register your own website or blog (though some blog servers don't allow defamation or libel, either) and write whatever you want.
