Get a fucking grip people, if you need to swear in a post, then learn how to bypass the censor.

Here is an interesting chart, asking the UK public what are the most offence words on TV.

Also, note how surprisingly low Shit is.

Aw hell, I do bypass it if I feel I need to, the problem is there are mods who will edit it out of your post! .

Sangre

They have a hell now?!
There's my last refuge gone...

All this fuss over a word filter.

As soon as I get a decent working thought filter that I can customise to my own preferences I'll waste no time installing it on boards.

I've finally got my finger out and sorted out the censor to filter ****** but not snigger.... (I hope).

We have a word censor not so that you cant express yourself in all your glorious 4-letter verbiage but so that you have to think about it before you do so. Do you honestly think if we wanted to block the work around we couldnt? We could just add those work arounds to the list and hey presto, they'd be censored too.

Its just to make people think a little longer about swearing or if they *dont* it gets *'ed out. Call it a "casual swearing filter".

It stays btw, I see no reason to alter it. Freedom of speech my ass too, this isnt about freedoms; express yourself more eloquently. I rarely swear in posts except maybe for effect yet you could hardly say I'm less then caustic at times.

Anyway, the subbed list works well I think as a compromise...

Yeah when you do swear, you actually kinda have to think about it. Is it worth using the workaround, or will stars do. I use them when I feel more pissed off at someone, but I don't mind the stars usually.

Woden

Kold

chink ... Surely it's racism that the n word is censored and that isn't... N-word Joe

ecksor

It seems that Kold has found something in our armour. A sort of narrow little opening perhaps.

Sarky

If you can't make a point without using various four letter words, get off the internet. There are far too many of you about as it is.
