4chan Wordfilters

A wordfilter is a simple search and replace system used to modify the words in a user's post. Usually, such word filtering is used on forums to hide swear words; 4chan uses word filtering to make madlib-like replacements of words in order to create humor.

When submitting a post to /b/, any specific word or phrase (typically meme-related ones that are heavily overused) can be changed to something else. The mods usually make wordfilters out of annoyance at overused memes, though they are also made just for shits.

A few wordfilters were eventually added on other boards, such as /v/ and /k/, but were later deactivated.

Some wordfilters have developed into memes, both on /b/ and elsewhere. Some posters have taken to permanently referring to furry as drama, loli as duck, etc. Thus, a good (or at least memorable) wordfilter can survive long after being deactivated.

On March 2007, all wordfilters had been made inactive due to moot's faggotry. Even the PENIS filter, which was quite possibly the most beloved wordfilter of /b/'s history. Some of the wordfilters were brought back again.

All known wordfilters were last tested on 2010-01-17 and the list updated. It's very likely that there are no longer any wordfilters left active, on /b/ or anywhere else.

Usually a request for the source of a picture. Often seen in image macros usually featuring hot chili sauce, ketchup, or other savory fluid condiments. Associated with the set phrases "ZOMG SAUCE" or "SAUCE PLZ". "Sauce" has replaced "source" indefinitely on 4chan and the rest of the internet.
