The Ultimately Pointless Thread On The Subject Of Removing The Swear Filter

joyboyo53 · 08-26-2008, 03:58 PM

I dont really care enough, but it is kind of ridiculous. I mean the reason its there is because alot of poeple on this forum are under 18. Lets get real. We discuss drugs, sex, and rock and roll on these forums but cant even say the bands names sometimes without getting filtered. No it doesnt bother me enough to PM anyone but seriously its just kinda pointless to have it. I mean as if any asshat kid doesnt know what the missing ***'s are. As if the kid isnt saying the words themselves, or as if the kid isnt look at porn. I think our youngest user has to be Hell Fairy or something. Look at her avatar..... look at the things she says.... these are the peoples minds we are trying NOT to corrupt? I think the older people on the forum are they use their cursewords more sparingly.

Anways, just a thought.

I think me and alfred are the youngest on the forum, I'm pretty sure Hell Fairy is at least 16. The swear filter's ridiculously easy to get around people, and everyone knows what you meant anyway.

Its not a matter of how difficult it is to get around, its the fact that you have to go out of your way to do it. I am not trying to TRICK the forums so I can see my own curse words. Its just kinda pointless, but if anything it just takes away from the post a little bit.

I don't bother going around it, people know what I mean.

I discovered the swear filter for myself last night when posting a whole heap of cuss words about Oasis...hehehehehehe... didn't know they had a filter here until then!

It doesn't really bother me - I am not at all in any way offended by swearing / coarse language - in some settings, depending where I am, I use it alot myself, but hey, I guess it doesn't hurt to express myself a little more eloquently by leaving out the swear words...

It doesn't really matter, regardless of the **** being in your text or not, you can pretty much tell when people are swearing and which word they are using... :-)

Swear filters are stupid. It's irritating to have parts of your words censored when you're writing a harmless argument or about an artist whose name might be ***e or Moor****.

Furthermore, it may even censor links that you want to post.

Stupid.

We need to concentrate on censoring certain people rather than words.

Why this word G.ay sensored in this forum?

I know sometimes people use it in an insulting manner, but I have yet to see it on MB at all.
