WHAT IS CENSOR? ( This is for people who may not understand its meaning. )

So, according to Google 'censor' means: ( look at image below )

But basically it means cutting or deleting parts of a sentence, a book, a film or anything really because it is inappropriate.

So, how is this related to xtx? You may have seen a lot of people who always like to slander xtx. So, sometimes moas tend to talk about these issues because they want to defend xtx from them. However, sadly, what moas don't realise is ― some of us are guilty of not censoring too.

For example, words that are related to what an anti said in their tweet was 'xtx *gly'. Now when moas talk about that anti and go on praising our boys' looks, they sometimes insert the word '*gly' but they forget to censor it. And what does that exactly do? Well. . .

It unfortunately becomes a keyword associated with xtx and why? Because a lot of people tweet and retweet it, without realising. Sometimes they were praising their looks, yes it's true but ― because the *gly was mentioned and uncensored, it becomes a keyword beside xtx's name.

So avoid typing *gly in tweets with their names in it. This applies to the members' names and the group name itself. ( This is applicable to the situation stated here, but of course, if it's about another topic like 'c0|0urb|!nd' then censor that word too and so on. . . )

Again, I would like to apologise if any of these words make you upset when I'm talking about xtx, I know we all hate these words and we all had a history of clearing searches related to these words. I didn't mean to open old wounds, I'm here to open your eyes to censoring words.

Also, even without antis' attacking first, some of us still cannot censor correctly. If you searched 'xtx *gly', you'll notice how almost all the tweets are from moas, using *gly so freely. Because of forgetting to censor it, these searches are usually our fault. Here's proof.

Warning, DO NOT search this up. I searched it up to SHOW you what I'm talking about, don't go searching it up out of curiosity or because you don't believe me. As you can see from the pictures, that these are just a few examples out of many different tweets.

DO NOT SEARCH IT UP, because you're only going to make Twitter feel like "Oh, this search is getting a lot of attention and people like to search about it. So okay, let's recommend this search to others too!" and again, the cycle repeats again, clearing searches again.

To these people, if you've come across my thread, I would like to apologise for using these tweets as examples. I do not mean to 'expose' you or belittle you for not knowing how important censoring is, I just want others to understand how harmful uncensoring words can be.

I'm here to inform and educate others to see the root of our problem. I'm sorry once again if I offended you.

So everyone please don't be mad at them or find their accounts to hate on them, we are here to help and teach each other so this problem can be solved together.

To these three, if you see this, I hope you'll realise that your tweets are doing more harm than good, and that you will censor words next time, okay? So that they won't show up in the searches! And we won't have to clear them all the time anymore.

To others, it is very important to censor as much as you can when you're ranting about something related to xtx. For example, if you want to praise xtx for their looks, you either don't mention *gly or you censor it completely. This is to avoid it showing up in the searches.

So remember! No matter how mad you are when you rant. You rant as rationally as you can, it's understandable sometimes that emotions get the better of us and we tend to forget to censor because we're upset. So, if you realise you forgot to censor, delete your tweet and retype it.

So think rational, act rational, tweet smartly!

The actions you take now, will really benefit the future. Because if censoring becomes a habit, then we will never worry about the searches being messed up anymore!

Don't we all want that? I'm sure we all do!

Also if you haven't noticed, a handful of us have been tweeting about moas forgetting to censor. It is sometimes frustrating to always clear searches for people who constantly forget to censor some words, not saying that it's mostly moas' fault all the time but sometimes it is.

That's why we need to reduce this by censoring more often. We all need to practice how to censor words. It isn't that difficult, you just have to change a few letters by using characters or numbers. Trust me, sometimes it may be a bit difficult but later on, it gets easier.

If you practice censoring now, then it will become a habit in the future and you will always immediately censor words that you know need to be censored. So please practice MOA!

And don't worry there's no right or wrong way to censor at all. You can censor it any way you like.

The more different the better! It makes Twitter's job searching for these tweets a lot harder.

What does that mean? It means, if more people use different words to censor other words, Twitter will not categorise them in the same category because it's different from each other!

As in, these words will not be placed in 'xtx *gly' searches if some of us use '+x+ u-word' and so on.

Because you need to type out the exact censored word. See? No will one waste their time trying to come up with these censored words to search up, so do it more often please!

So that's all for CENSORING words ASSOCIATED with xtx and the members. Now, let's move on to censoring the name 'xtx' and the members' names. If you recall from the pictures earlier, a moa praised h*uk@ for his looks but had used the *gly word repeatedly, so what does this do?

It does more harm than good because that means when you type out 'h*uk@ *gly' you're going to eventually see that tweet lurking on the page, why? Because they didn't censor the word *gly and they didn't censor 'h*uk@' so guys, please let's not slander our boys' names by accident.

Likewise with censoring negative words related to xtx, learn how to censor their names and xtx too. If you're talking about issues related to them, censor their names. When you want to inform people about an issue, always censor their names. Always.

No matter how big or small your account is, learn how to censor.

It is so important and I cannot stress this enough! If you read my 'clear searches' thread then you may have remembered that I said, it is possible that these boys search up their names on the search bar.

And if they see these searches being recommended like 'xtx *gly' then they'll feel hurt.

Also I'm not saying this to guilt trip anyone, I'm only stating what seems to be obvious. They are young adults, they use social media, so them searching themselves up could really happen.

That's why practice and create your own censored words for the members and xtx. For me, I use xtx and if I can come up with other names I would use them too.

Remember when I said, Twitter will have a hard time to gather these censored words and compile it into one search result?

That's because... for example, I would use xtx and someone else can use +x+ or maybe t*t and so on. That means, if you want to see all these tweets talking about xtx regarding an issue or xtx and the members themselves, it'll be hard to find all the tweets because it's different!

That makes it hard for people to find it!

Another thing, I'd like to point out is... people who have xtx or the members' names in their display name ( dn ) or username, need to be extra careful. Twitter will also include your tweets because your dn or username has the names too.

Meaning if your display name has '+*3hyun' and you made a tweet like, i am so *gly! why is he so beautiful?! then, this will show up on the searches. Here's an example:

( AGAIN, DO NOT SEARCH IT UP FOR YOURSELF, I've already done that for you )

As you can see, my tweet is harmless, I'm praising him but I'm calling myself *gly without censoring it. However, Twitter does not filter the good tweets from the bad, it will only look at the common keywords and show those tweets related to them.

So please be careful!

Once again, do remember to censor words please, it will really benefit all of us. To xtx and to moas. It will reduce our job to always clear searches, we should only be clearing searches when antis talk bad about xtx and we shouldn't be clearing searches for our own mistakes.

Because we can fix our mistakes, we can stop us from making the same mistakes. We can control how we speak about xtx, we can because we all love them unconditionally and we all want to protect them from anything harmful, yes? So let's change for the better, for us and for them.

I think that's all regarding censoring. So, what did we learn here today? Always CENSOR their names when talking about issues. Always CENSOR negative words related to xtx or about issues and tweets related to them. Always censor words when our dns and usernames have their names.

And remember to think rationally and tweet smartly! Thank you for reading if you're still here.
