*** and **** Should Go Uncensored!

[DanS]

Hi--

Today I was writing the following clause: "slavic-cum-communist fatalism" and the damn thing was censored!

Also, it's a sad day when the first name of your Vice President is censored. Can't anybody say "****" anymore with a straight face?

Listen to reason! Change the censorship rules!

[d_dudy]

i thought **** cheney was fixed?

edit: guess not

[Zopperoni]

Shouldn't be possible to allow "D!ck" to be posted...but only with the "D" written with a capital letter...?

there are too many immature children about that would abuse the loosening of the sensorship (and not all of 'em are under 18)

[KrazyHorse]

Listen. I want the ban on "sh<b></b>ag" lifted too. Sh<b></b>ag carpetting!

It's really easy to avoid the autocensor, and we know the consequences of being potty mouths, so lift the damn censorship.

[TCO]

Remove the censors and just have the mods enforce penalties for swearing. I want some more banning and screaming.

The best way to beat the censor is by being unable to spell properly.

Danm right!

[Dis]

anybody got a list of all the words that are censored so I know for future reference?

[Lorizael]

There is an ignore list and Mods have the power to ban and do PCRs, why not just get rid of censoring? Since people can just say d!ck to get around it, I don't see what the point is.

[Dauphin]

If people want to get around the censors they can, but given that it requires effort (no matter how small) it will deter some of the "bad language". => Less need for mods to regulate, which is obviously important.

The only time when the censor is not worthwhile is when "legitimate" words are censored more than "offensive" words

the point is that we have lives and we dont like the idea of spending our lives chasing people who swear

we also dont like the idea of people swearing on our forums.

one day, someone discovered the censor filter, and the world became a better place(or at least our forum became a bit more friendlier place to discuss)

thank you for your understanding

[Mankind]

maybe do a forum for adults or something
