Yeah, I think the censors are pointless for whenever the following names come up.

Marvin Gaye
Bruce Dickenson
Alfred Hitchcock

Granted, the last one doesn't come up much (if at all) but names with cock in them do (I just couldn't think of any), and same with dick. Gay, not so much. I think if the censors can be lifted, they should be since:
1. They get in the way alot
2. Most people aren't offended by swearwords, especially nowadays
3. Most people can get pass them anyway.

Blah blah blah. No one cares. Deal with it, there's censors. If you don't like it bypass the filter.

Getting by the censors is not all that hard, behold.

Cock Shit Motherfucker.

Quote this post to see what I did.

Though its wrong to use this technique just for the sake of abusing the rules. I only like to use it to say things that shouldn't be censored in the first place. Like Marvin Gaye, Joe Cocker and Bruce Dickinson.

The only word that should've been removed a long time ago is "gay". I have absolutely no idea why it was included in the first place.

this **** is wak! doesnt really bother me actually, just sometimes hard to figure out what they said when there is something like '**** ****ed ****ers'. kinda sucks, but if you overuse cursewords they loose their meaning anyhow.

@ said Artless one
Despite the completely superfluous nature of you're responses and you're inability to spot a bit of banter on a forum that derives half it's name from it, I will tell that you any censorship of profanity or any other words only lends them more credence. While my comments prior were of course made with tongue firmly in cheek they were not without a morsel of truth behind them. Is it a pressing issue that profane language is banned here, of course not, but it is another example of unnecessary censorship reinforcing mis-representative presumptions about words. Lending words power is giving a crippled or disarmed foe ammunition, it is disregarding the sticks and stones and instead allowing the names to hurt you.

What should happen of course is that everyone simply be free to express themselves as they feel aprapo and allowing the censorship to come on a personal level either by ignoring people who express themselves in a manner you find displeasing or simply using the "ignore user" feature this forum allots to it's members.

I don't see how any right thinking person could possibly disagree.
I LOVE you. FATHER MY CHILDREN!

Everything you said is exactly what I think, except you said it better (Me no know big words). It's like the number one rule of communication; words in and of themselves have no meaning. We assign meaning to words, and if people assign the same meaning to curse words ("They're bad, offensive, and mean"), then that's their hang-up. Why should other people's freedom of speech be stifled because some minister in some backwater county in some state heard something on a radio he just didn't like? That's what freedom of choice is there for.



HOWEVER, this is an internet forum, dictated by one administrator, and registering means forfeiting any freedoms you've had before. It isn't like a democracy like the one we have in the US, where one branch of government checks the other branches and makes sure they aren't misusing their power, and vice versa. It's one man, one server.

I certainly understand that this is a private enterprise and those who are responsible for operating it have the right to monitor and censor it's content. I also feel they have an obligation to listen to their forum members if they wish to remain successful. So while I don't think it's a my way or the highway issue, I am curious to see just what everyone here thinks about the censorship and how necessary it really is.

Fight the power I suppose.

Don't mind fighting the power, just as long as the power isn't some guy just like us but who has our e-fates in his hands. I CAN"T LIVE WITHOUT MY FORUM JUICE, MAN!

I seriously believe that the people for censorship don't support it because they don't want to see that "filth" or hear it or whatever. They don't want ANYBODY to see it. It makes them all righteous, making them feel like they are saving society by having smut covered up.

I mean, if they really didn't want to see it, they could just turn the knob/don't look at it/avoid it. So either what I believe is true, or they really are that stupid.
