Possible new emoticon + discussion regarding our censor filter

[gregory]

When we say something very very bad here, it turns into ****

 

That's no fun.

 

On another forum I'm on we get 

 

Can we have that too pretty please ? I have no idea about its copyright or anything., mind... it does look as if it's exclusive to that forum, so instead maybe something like  (I could ask the other forum owner, if you want, though...) 

 

Just a thought - an emoticon might make more people take notice....

[Marisa Kirisame]

An emoticon depicting the classic mosaic censorship, perhaps?

[gregory]

Do you mean this one ?

 

Hard to get that down to an emoticon,. But then again: 

 

How about

I like the first one. 
While it might be exclusive to that forum, it's a Pokemon. These folks would be the copyright holders:

And I still say it's a Mudkip - making it orange might be something they did to avoid copyright violation.

It's probably safe. Why not ask the owners of the forum that's hosting it?

[gregory]

As I said - I will ask, if LF wants to use it.

Without the "censored" word. And animated, perhaps.

I think that first one is really cute, its the sweetest one I have seen so far. The traditional *bleep* ones aren't as nice. I was looking but noticed that we don't seem to have a *bleep* emoji either. How can this be?!   

[Marisa Kirisame]

I had something like this in mind: 

If you want it in the form of an emoticon with the smiley thing in it, it would look nice in a speech bubble. Also, let me try to make the version without scrolling...

That one is quite effective! Maybe too effective though, I keep looking at it and my brain tells me that "You can decipher that, keep looking and soon you will see what it says" 🤣 

It is probably because I watch the Bletchley circle way too much 😁

In case you're wondering, the string is "dsdfghjweesgnjbhsbghabgbiabvhghebuidsdfghjweesgnj". I'm trying to post the non-scrolling version, but it refuses to display the animation for some reason, treating it as a non-animated .png.

Oh no. Now I’ll have to try and dechiper that string of letters too 😁 I’m sure they weren’t entirely random

Oh, they were. Mostly. I just mashed at the keyboard, but I had to replace some of the letters later on to make them less distinguisheable in the pixelated string, so that it would look like "some particular text", yet you wouldn't be able to grasp the specifics clearly enough for an "a-ha!" moment.

But I think we could use being TOLD we are censored, kind of.

 

You no like ?

 

Have a few bleeps:

Yes, good point. It is important to know what it is. I do like the first one! 

[gregory]

 

SOME forum I am on has a bleep one with white tape over the mouth, but I CANNOT find it...

LOVE that one ! (Still looking for the mouth with bandaid...)

I'm having fun here, though it fails to animate, it seems:

Yes, you wouldn't be able to, as it gets uploaded as a static image. It did consider my first .png an animated one, but it had failed to recognize every subsequent one, autoconverting them into single frame images. This is how it's supposed to look:

Another modification to the smiley:

[gregory]

?? Mine upload as gifs just fine...

[Marisa Kirisame]

@gregory, it's an animated .png, hence the issue. Though I can remove the transparency from the string now that it's in a speech bubble, so it won't be tricky making it a .gif.

Is there a less angry option? Those look like they're chewing us out for being dirty birdies.
