I agree, there's so much argument here, nothing is going to fly. Even if we came up with something, the new term would just become the new dogwhistle. A lot of people will simply forget, or come back from a long hiatus not knowing the new rule. Use whatever word or combo of words works best for you. Save everybody the trouble and just word-filter "dox" already.Knowing that the majority of tards here will forget about the announcement and will keep using the word could you try to filter it to something with close meaning
I understand the concept that, under 230, word-filtering can be construed as editorializing. However, 230 has never prohibited sites from removing illegal content which, arguably, is what this word filter would attempt to do.
I'm going to reiterate my suggestion that "Dox", "Doxing", and all other variations of the term be filtered to "DICKS". Since the whole thing is pretty gay, word-filtering "dox" to "DICKS" just makes sense. Plus, it will spare users from reading (and making) tons of annoying backseat moderation posts, and the mods will be spared a flood of new reports about the use of a single word.
Plus it would be kind of funny.
