Question

QC PSA: "osht" counts as bypassing. I have seen it numerous times by multiple people who have been warned about it. It seems to be popular, which is why I am making this post.

Answer 1

I have seen several people try to make an argument against it counting as bypassing, though it doesn't work out in my opinion. If you think it doesn't, post below.

Answer 2

Yes, I am sure this is what you mean.

Answer 3

This is probably a stupid question, but how's it any different than "lmao"?

Answer 4

Because with *osht* it sounds like they're trying to bypass the s word. Lmao can be like laughing my apples off or something.

Answer 5

Maybe "Osht" could be used as "Oh shoot" or something like that.

Answer 6

Of course, but that's not how it's being used.

Answer 7

They could have eaisly said that then ._. or *oh snap*

Answer 8

Whenever I delete it, people are like "sorry" not like "oh I meant shoot."

Answer 9

So that nullifies that argument.

Answer 10

Then should I start saying, lmo?
Laugh my off?
Also what you're doing is extremely useless, I agree with val

Answer 11

osht

Answer 12

Operating system Hates traffic

Answer 13

Solution, ocrp

Answer 14

ban me daddy

Answer 15

I think the problem I have with it, is that it's only one letter off from the actual word. It's more explicit in what it means, whereas lmao is just laughter and less explicit.

Answer 16

ohshoot

Answer 17

What I was trying to say, couldn't explain it ಠ_ಠ

Answer 18

thats 3 letter ಠ_ಠ

Answer 19

Anymore spamming = suspension. Trying to work out a solution.

Answer 20

I see your point.
But osht means oh sh*t
Lmao obviously means laugh by a** off.
it's the same thing. If you think 'osht' is a bannable word, then 'lmao' should be as well. Either way they stand for bad words anyway, so it's not fair to ban someone to use osht but not lmao.

Answer 21

"Osht" is a form of expression such as surprise, amazement etc. "Lmao" is not far off from that imo.

Answer 22

I'm going to take it up with the moderator team. The three avenues will likely be: both terms not being allowed, one allowed and the other not (due to connotation), and both allowed. If you have thoughts on any of these, do share them for reference.

Answer 23

i think "osh1t" is bypassing

Answer 24

There are bigger problems than a simple word 'osht'
If you have time to not allow words like that, there are bigger words like deadass, headass, and hoe

Answer 25

Hoe is not an insult, ho is which should be censored. Hoe is a gardening tool

Answer 26

Yeah, those are on the chopping block as well.

Answer 27

It's the same thing. One thing shouldn't be allowed because they both cover up a bad word.

Answer 28

Hoe and ho are not the same thing

Answer 29

they cant even be used in the same way since the two different meanings

Answer 30

Shadow's a hoe
Shadow's a ho
Means the same to me

Answer 31

Your objectification is sexist and disgusting.

Answer 32

Well then you are mistaken my friend. One is you called him a gardening tool, the other is you called him sometime that should not be explained on this site.

Answer 33

o-o This iz a weird arguement?

Answer 34

hoe should be punishable if you're referring to a human, other than angel

Answer 35

Does oh sh-- count as bypassing?

Answer 36

Yes, because of what it is obviously referring too.

Answer 37

Razor.
Hun
we talked about this.

Answer 38

No one is like "oh shoe"

Answer 39

OH SHOE IT ISN'T?

Answer 40

I use it all the time when mods are around yet no one tells me or deletes it so I always thought it was okie

Answer 41

what about shiz?

Answer 42

duh

Answer 43

Yeah I mean, consistent with considering sh*t bypassing for example, "ohsht" counts as well.

Answer 44

Kitty, same thing

Answer 45

IM CRYINGGGG
I WAS GOING TO SAY I THOUGHT OSHT MEANT OH SHAT BECAUSE I THOUGHT SHAT WAS A REAL WORD BUT ITS THE PAST TENSE OF SHT LMOOOOOO IM CRYINGG

Answer 46

Shadow iz actually supporting his argument well people su XD

Answer 47

I'm glad we have allowed for you to become enlightened...

Answer 48

THANK YOU

Answer 49

I personally do not use osht to literally mean what is stands for. I use is because I am used to it and wouldn't be normal for me to react like that.

Like lmao, I don't actually mean to laugh my bum off, I just use it to express my feeling to a certain comment, lmao and (the acronym with the f) are not used in literate terms.

Now other people actually just go off and exaggerate the thing and go overboard, maybe that is what you want to prevent? I don't think it should be punishable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Answer 50

^^^^

Answer 51

First off, thank you for a reasonable argument.

Answer 52

We don't actually laugh our Air off, we just say it to express laughter, and osht is used to express suprise

Answer 53

Mine is reasonable, you gave me reason to get hype

Answer 54

I don't use sh-- to be mean or rude just an expression *-* I knew there was a reason I said it

Answer 55

Made my post in the moderator chat. We'll see how things play out over the rest of the week. I'll keep you guys updated.

Answer 56

Just to be clear, I presented arguments for both sides, as well as linking this post. Your voice is important to us.

Answer 57

Your text is important to us.*

Answer 58

Rule 1 of modchat is don't talk about modchat

Answer 59

k guys we don't have a mod chat. we communicate through smoke signals

Answer 60

:^)

Answer 61

Much better LOL

Answer 62

Ultri you told everyone how mods have a chat countless times

Answer 63

I sense a fallacy. e.e

Answer 64

logical fallacy alert =~=

Answer 65

LMOOOOOOO

Answer 66

If QC makes `osht` illegal, wouldn't this post be illegal for containing the three letter word `osht`?
Just questioning.
Alsoyewdeletedmaiosht.

Answer 67

How are we supposed to discuss something we can't mention?

Answer 68

No, because it would have existed pre-osht ban

Answer 69

^that too

Answer 70

Mentioning the term for no reason is just spam.
