gr!m Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 NH (Non Hookah) and IS (illegal substance) are great ideas. I run a few website (I'm a web programmer/designer on the side) and it can be pretty tricky to NHT out turning up for bad searched. The uses we are talking about (ie. abbreviations) seem to work the best as the abbreviations will probably be the sole understanding of our users and no one else. Although I will admit, very few people probably use a NH legally. I've had friends who used NH legally with other pipe tobaccos, but still, it's probably best just to avoid the subject and make rules against it, after all this is primarily a Hookah site. Also, maybe post something right when visitors enter saying this is solely for talk about traditional Hookah use. Just my thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 now a big time one that will attract drug users is B O W L... most people smoke a b o w l of p-t...that will definitely bring the wrong crowd. I know thats what it is and all, and there is nothing wrong with it, but we are trying to keep the wrong crowd away and we might want to consider rewording for this reason...People search for b owls all the time and are referring in their search to glass p ipes...just a thought.also, anything for saly d?

The Devils Playground Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) As a smoke shop we use better terms.Dry Tobacco and Water pipe. Then theres always the famous 420 we use alot here but we usualy just use the words dry tobacco.BNG and PT are not acceptable in our shop. Unlike most we do not kick them out for using bad words we just correct them like 100 times. I get alot of how much are your Bngs. I say we dont carry those here but that water pipe is. And more often then not they say sorry and correct them selfs even after they reuse the words. They will be like Oh shyt sorry dude I meant water pipe.So I think Water Pipe is a free safe word.QUOTE (Elky @ Jan 24 2008, 02:30 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Another way to adress this issue could be to only speak of these things in the technical terms, much the same way that newspapers and other "respected" media does. This would at least prevent people who search using slang words from stumbleing upon the forum and adding their own possibly innapropriot .02 Edited January 25, 2008 by The Devils Playground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have NOT added very many words to the filter...just ones that might commonly be used when discussing misconceptions about hookahs. Most of the terms pm'd to me are going to stay what they are so I know who to hammer. So best be safe and use the NH and NHT instead of hopeing the filter works.

mushrat Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 Some folks are already starting to piss me off. Usinf NH and NHT to be cute in posts and sigs. This was NOT the purpose and if it continues I'll figure this crowd isn't going to be able to handle a serious discussion if they are already fucking up.
