...the censoring of words is done for two reasons:
1) purely an aesthetic choice(we and lots of our visitors prefer not to see such language)
2) younger audience(if one child doesnt learn one word from this forum instead of the real world, the censoring has worked imho)

Mark, did you not just say there are ZERO under ten people viewing this site? If so, you exactly are you afraid of seeing the swear words? Anyone who is viewing this site has most likely come across those words at some point in their life.

I am 19, I am offended by the f-word, and I don't mind naked pictures in the ads. Ok? Thats the kind of person that comes here.

[The Mad Monk]

Um, excuse me...

I just realized...

I have not seen the offending ads for a while now...

[adaMada]

I haven't seen any of the offending adds anytime recently either.

mada- wazzup with the triple smile you've got to have a quintuple smilie like this:
I haven't seen the x-banners in a while either

no, actually, i haven't seen the banners either. good work, admins. By the way, on the topic of sware words, i think i can take the title of being the youngest poster here (bows, bows, waits for appluase. doesn't come, cntinues grudgingly) i agree with ghen, whether he was kidding or not, about the f-word, i don't actually mind it, but probably some people do, and the admins have right in not wanting to see it on the page, but i at least think the less-'offensive' words should be allowed (ie. he double hockey sticks, if it isn't already allowed, and the d word) they can be used for emphasis

[adaMada]

Thanks sammyboy. I have only seen one offending banner once since I posted last, which is pretty good!!


Also, for the record, Sammyboy is the youngest poster. He is a few months younger then me, which (should) make me the second youngest poster.
