| Is it absolutely necessary to swear? It turns off consumers, children who play our games, and their parents.
Also, it really pissed some people off... | |

| Profanity is a choice. It's not the word itself that's bad It's the connotation & meaning behind the word. The word means nothing if there's no thought behind it. Those words wouldn't be considered "bad" if they had less of a bad connotation. Just my 2 cents. | |

There are quite valid reasons for allowing swearing, I am just to lazy to post them and I see no reason why we didn't do what Andrew had just suggested in the first place. | |

| I'm no admin, but If the only reason you want the swear filter off is because you want your 'angry' posts to be more effective, then I say we keep it. I'm sure you can think of a more civilized and creative way to express your anger than to curse, and allowing cursing does turn more people away than it attracts. | |

I'll agree with you on the turning people away part. There could be a system in which only people who have been proven to use cursing in moderation. i.e. : Not having a swear every 2-3 words. Swearing is effective and ineffective in some aspects. It shows [Admin/Mod] how upset you are with how a certain person/forum is acting. But it also seems that if an admin is speaking directly with another forum visiter, via pm, etc. No swearing should be used in that aspect. And Frankly, I don't know about the rest of the mods and Admin's, because I can't speak for them. But I know my expectations for peoples behavior is pretty high. So if they improve the swear blocker, Those immature kids won't feel my wrath. Hell hath no fury like Rowlar scorned.
In conclusion. Let the masses swear. Let the higher ups be better than that. And just refrain from doing it. | |

| The problem with the swear filter, is that you have to type in everything that you want to be blocked, for example, if you want to block the s-word, you have to have it block OMNOMZ shiT OMNOMZ sHit OMNOMZ shIT OMNOMZ ShiT OMNOMZ ShIT OMNOMZ sHIT OMNOMZ SHiT OMNOMZ SHIT sh!t sh!T sH!t Sh!t etc. and so forth. By the way, everything above that says OMNOMZ is something that was successfully blocked. | |

| That was one of the reasons I wanted the blocker off because of the retarded replacements. It is one thing to block something with a few ****, it is another to block it with sexyburgers... And the point of spamming the swearing or going overkill trolling, it is fact that these people will want to swear more if it is against the rules. If you just let people swear as much as they like the thrill of breaking the rules is gone. Therefore by blocking swearing you are making people want to swear more. That is two reasons... would anyone else like to come up with three more? | |
