Forget BADSITES and BADWORDS...

Behold, STALKWORDS, brought to you by lovable ban-maniac, Mike.lifeguard.

They really could have picked a better title for it than 'stalk words'. They really love that word, don't they?

He didn't make up the name:

Now, is this deliberate, or is it a very stupid and unfortunate turn of the phrase?

Possibly deliberate, but seems to evoke the classical term instead of the criminal act: i.e., "a lion stalks its prey".

Perhaps I've given Moulton yet another idea for a song parody!

It's so funny how we don't mock anymore.
It's so crummy why we don't stalk anymore
But Hersch ain't losing sleep, and I lost count of baleets.
It's a bummer how we don't rock anymore.

It's been around for years on IRC.

In my day (which was not so long ago), it was called "highlights". I first heard stalkword from wikipedia IRC.

Like that kids' magazine that can be found in doctor's offices?

Do they also have a banhammer channel?

A) shouldn't there be a list of words somewhere in the code, to filter or act on?

and B) Mike Lifeguard is still a vile little dick.
Put that in your stalkword list, whore.....
