Why does the autocensor only censor silly words out?

[Vlad Antlerkov]

I agree with Edrix's proposal. Let everyone have their own list of words to auto-censor in their profile. (Could this be implemented?)

[Pavlov]

It's a good idea, but wouldn't it suck up a lot of serverspace? (If it was possible)

[Level]

But then you would have to type the words you don't want to see.

[Pavlov]

Doh! Maybe Mark could come home to you and write the words on your computer while you read Winnie the Pooh.

I thought that Freedom of Expression is a basic human right!? Now we start talking about censoring this and that?! I think that if Markos and the other owners wanted other words censored, they would've done it already!

Believe me if somebody is vulgar, appropriate action will be taken from Ming, Dan or Marko!

Other than that I presume we are all mature adults here and hopefully can restrain form writing something insulting or being vulgar

Trip, I am a Greek from Greece born in Germany raised in Greece, Germany and the US! So you've finally taken up that idea on the Pacific theater, great I can't wait!


So long...

Nope, check the FAQ. They can censor what they like, it just seems silly to enact censorship-on-demand.

Good one.

I am guessing that currently the censoring is done once at post-time and not every time the post is displayed, so I don't think that's realistic.

Maybe you could keep a list of words you don't like next to your comp. When you see a word you dislike you cover it with your thumb and everyone's happy!

(I refuse to let this discussion to go serious)

[CapitanGarlic]

hell, damn, and ass are what I consider 'lite' swear words. I wouldn't use them around the elderly or a busload of nuns, but most people don't mind them.

[St Leo]

I don't think it has ever been serious. Cybershy was just trolling. I pity the fool who uses "Jesus Effing Christ" or "Tabernac" as a swearword.

Yeahh or you cover it with a piece of paper and write something else over this bad bad word.

[Skanky Burns]

I always thought liquid-paper on the screen would work fine.

[Zopperoni]

From what I hear, that correction fluid stuff works pretty well too.

I just realized:

Jesus H Christ

I didn't know this guy had three names? What is this H stand for? I think this might be the American version where everybody tend to have three names.

[Pavlov]

H stands for holy
