Censoring in the forum

[TheTypist]

Honestly, I don't know why you're so desperate to curse. First of all you can get around it, and second, if you really need to curse you convey that you aren't comfortable enough with the english language to use actual words, which I know none of you are...

umm....

right?

[QreepyBORIS]

I say that either have none or all of the bases covered.

Until I petitioned for change, the "n-word" still appeared uncensored, quite often. Either censor all of the bad language, or none of it. Makes sense to me.

N*#$#. <-Nope, it's censored, *****. <-That one's not though.

Nah, I was talking about maybe...10 months ago? I think. Back then, it was not, though now it clearly is.


Also: Sup, CMC.

Not all of the words should be blocked. Words like "gay" and "******" are not and should not be consitered swear words.

[Cenright]

Except they are not used in context, and instead are used a profane.

[CMCAdvanced]

Well, yeah.
You can't just say swear words aren't swear words.
I know what I'm saying, but I don't mean it to be obscene.
Just different. I don't euphemisms for words, unless they have a value al of their own.
Like, I'd say, what the "heck", if I were trying to use it after being fake upset about something.
Ex:"Oh, this new mode in FFR is bullpoo. Gee wilikers everyone, I mean, what the heck?"
Other than cases like that I'm going for hell all the way.

and in no way do I ever use words that shouldn't be used out of context as insults. I'm against racial, and other kinds of slurs as much as anyone should be.

Seriously, learn that this isn't about just you. This is about everyone.
Just cause YOU don't care what is said, doesn't mean others don't care.
We are here to satisfy as many people as possible. People don't stop going to a forum because there are filters. Some DO stop going to forums because there AREN'T filters though.

[hatakikakashi]

ok ok your right. Plus I was beating hypocritical anyway. I don't like it when people cuss in person. I just don't mind as much in text for some reason. My dad always says cursing is just the sign of a weak mind desprately trying to express itself. I tend to agree.

Anybody that thinks swearing is a sign of inferior intellect is really dumb.

[CMCAdvanced]

Well, that's just their opinion Moogy. I believe that the people that leave forums because there aren't enough filters, should probably find another forum or not even use forums, as people do have different opinions, and will express them differently. I mean, they are just words. I know I don't have to use them, and sometimes it's really inappropriate and I don't. Simple, but it's what I choose to do.

Fine, it's a sign of class-less intellect.

Think they are just words.

[suicidalmuskrat]

i think it's funny how we have swear filters for the kids...and so they can access the site from school. if you asked me, as a parent, i'd be more upset that my kid was chatting on flash based simulator forums during school hours, than if he read a bad word.

and banditcom, you play table-tennis seriously? do you have a USATT ranking?

And I actually agree with moogy. except i don't think people who think people who swear are dumb, i just think they're ignorant. it's just the way they talk. I kind of look at it as a speech defect, I don't judge them because of it, and you'll get used to it, and look past it eventually.

[irrationalkillin]

I couldn't see why swearing would make being in these forums any better. It's unnessesary and pointless. Censors make sence and I don't see why they should be lifted. And this is comming from a 14 year old, part of the generation you think has the problem. It is true that in general teens do swear more but only the mindless fools. I feel it is entirly unnessesary for the majority of situations. I don't see why anyone would be that mad that they'd need to in a forum. But in life there are many fools...

Well I could just as easily say that anybody that thinks that anybody that things swearing is a sign of inferior intellect is dumb, is dumb. But it was all opinion, as was mentioned.
