Software deletes idiots from the Web
IT HAS TAKEN a while, but someone has finally come up with software that can remove idiots from bulletin boards.
A team of software boffins is working on a "stupid filter" that will act like a spam filter and delete 'idiotic comments'.
The team, lead by Gabriel Ortiz, is readying a free, open-source version they hope to release by year's end. It will come as a plug-in to Firefox browser by early next year.
If an outfit has the filter on its web server, it will snuffle any comment before it is published. If it is drivel it will flash the user something which says "This comment is more or less unintelligible. Please try to restate it."
Too many LOL!!!s, OMG!!!s will be likely to get you kicked.
Ortiz said one of his problems in designing the software was getting the filter to spot irony. Computers were a little like Americans and had not got a clue if a person was being ironic or sarcastic. This is particular problem because clever posts are often packed full of irony.
People with brains the size of planets will often misspell blog as bog, or switch Open Source for Open Sauce to make a point and only the very stupid do not get it.
One thing Ortiz has noticed is that the terminally dim repeat consonants.
The team wants punters to visit its site, , where you can help them rate on a scale of one to five a selection of potentially dumb posts culled from YouTube.
Filtering some of the alt.groups will make these disappear completely.
Of course the Kave, which can almost always be found here, would pass through the filter totally unchanged. Kave denzines have been experimenting with similar filters, only they have been adding in words. The latest filter inserts the words [auto phnarr] after every double entendre. Not stupid, not at all.

concept of language editing brings up next step, total censorship by 100% deletion. they'll never know, anyway.

Hey-JOE, Did Ya See Dis? In TECHNICAL Comments, Comedy can lead to mistating of event. Twisting whole into meaningless gumble, rejurging ones own nightmare as science or even basing action upon fantasy, therefore incorrect, evaluations.

ULTIE_TOM IS ONE OF BIG ABUSERS OF THIS.

Unfortunately until mike magee makes ultimate capable line of processor/chipset & upgraded unit hardware, after phenom, 4x4 & recentmost crop,ITS' then MY Translators can accurately specify exact language international part numberS, so as to be absolutely 100% clear.

ALSO MOST REPORTERS ARE ALCOHOLICS.

Finally all those morons with their "First Post !" and nothing else to say will disappear.
Wait . . is this a dream ?
Somebody pinch me.
I can't wait, finally I can read the IT stories on CW's Shark Tank without getting distracted by JIM's insane comments! :-))


...unless, of course, it filters out the "Why was my post deleted?" comments as well.
That is all :)
Will this software work on news articles as well?
Now I can breathe easy once again! For all these years I had been praying that my ability to ignore the stupid posts would run out. 

Now I see that a computer can replace my rational mind. Yippee!

Next I suppose they'll invent something that automatically changes all the posts I disagree with into posts that kindly reinforce the sagacity of my views. 

Three cheers for science! It beats the snot out of humanity every day and humanity loves it for it! Mwuah!
I have just been to their site and I don't think they are interested in what you post. They just want it to be grammatically perfect. This means you can only submit comments if English is your first tongue, your school actually taught grammer and you are old enough to have avoided text speak.

I thought it was a good idea but I would rather use my own filter tool... my mouse's scroll wheel.
Neither "bog" nor "open sauce" are "ironic". While I will freely admit that the American sense of humor does not always coalesce with the finer British sense, we do understand both irony and sarcasm. As much as you may dismay, American's are just as smart as you...though, granted, far fatter.
This could be the death of The Inquirer!
I'd be more interested in a Wordpress plugin than a firefox plugin.
Are an alien filter, a choo-choo filter, and a drummer filter.

Make it so.

I'm not sure he can overcome this boundary.
When I first read this, I thought OMG! LOL! WTF? And I'm like, yeah, I can see why it's necessary, so I just had to lol. People come up with some amazing ideas don't they lol. Well, I got to go lol. Can't spend all my time perusinating your webosphere lol. ciao lol.
