Anyone heard of it? It works on the same principles as a spam filter, but it's designed to filter comments on websites on the basis of 'indicators of stupidity', and it's really more of a grammar filter that looks for excessive or absent punctuation, poor spelling, ALL-CAPS etc. I'm curious about what the outcome would be if people who post on Youtube, Yahoo! Answers and other popular sites started getting error messages when they tried to post a comment, saying it had failed a quality test or something like that, or if they found that their comments were being hidden Slashdot-style.
It might be that comments would remain just as idiotic, but would become more grammatically correct and look less like they'd been typed by someone's butt-cheeks, but if people took the time to type well-formed posts rather than vomiting on their keyboards, they might also put more thought into the content of their posts.
Example of a stupid comment that I read today, which would be filtered out by this system:
Not True

Text is likely to be stupid.
You were right.
:laugh:
It's not that picky, either.
I ran this comment:
born blond developed brown. 40s lighter brown 50s even lighter brown. major car crash hair started thining then totally bald for 3 years ( hated that ). doctor gave me thyroid meds for low thyroid output. about 2 weeks later i looked in the mirror i thought i was going crazy - my scalp appeared blue. that was my hair starting to grow back. it came in pitch black and had the original borders. in my 60s full head of hair no grey. i bet people think i dye it ( my beard is salt and pepper ).
This was the result:
Text is not likely to be stupid.

The secret to English is to write your essays before the exam, then write up an improved version in the exam.

I put this quote:
Pull yer head out of your arse, you cream filled chocolate cake. AS I FUCKING SAID, I AM NOT ADVOCATING THAT SHIT, YOU FERAL BITCH.
I DON'T have a problem with the TOS either, you blind poor excuse for a gimp. What I DO have a problem with is high-moral high stepping bints like you who come on a site like this and whinge about the slightest thing to the admin, then expect to walk off scot free.
Shove it up your festering arse, you disease ridden shit.
The stupid filter said, "Text is likely to be stupid."

I have to say, I quite like his use of the word gimp :thumbup:

So I take it if I ever meet TCO in real life, I just say STOP........ hammatime. Then beat him with a hammer?

Exactly.
On a side note, if I ever see someone I know using a hammer, I'll say stop, and they ask why, and then I say Hammer time. Man I'm funny :green:
(no one has to agree, I do many things to amuse me and only me. stops me killing everyone I think)
