Tried it, it never works...easier to just complain about it here, besides i don't see what the big deal is, people bypass the filter all the time and i don't see anyone ever complaining that they have been offended by it, so if no one's complaining about the use of profanities on this forum why is there censorship, if the only talk of it is that a number of members (including myself) want the censorship removed, hell, i'd go as far as to say on moral grounds, then what's the bother in removing it, to say 'just use the censor' is to me like saying, 'people are ****s, just lie back and take it'

I've actually brought this up before. I think.

I think there are more members offended that they're having words filtered on here than people who are offended by said words, i have no compelling urge to swear constantly, but i do in my posts just like i would in a nursery, and it's of an inconvenience to me when people read my posts and words are starred out, it makes it more difficult for people to read and understand.

If one person can find me a thread prior to this post in which a relevant member of MB has said they're deeply offended by common 'swear words' then i;'ll take it all back.
