since when the hell did we have swear word filters?

[DJPlace]

what's going on with this world!?!

i can't say [censored] with out it being censored...

and the censored word is R A P E what is going on here!?!

the other cuss words are fine but... i don't understand why.

is there a reason behind this?

let me know i guess...

 

[BoxmanWTF]

oh wow there's a swear filter?
Good! I'm adding that to the list of reasons why I love this site!

those aren't words that should be used as lightly as they are nowadays

 

[Veho]

One slight flaw in the censor is that it censors the words s[censored]/s[censored]s/s[censored]ed, etc., which is a type of laughter.

except that its snicker not s[censored] lol........ lololol

Both can be used.

It's not like anyone uses that word in everyday conversation.

(Cue smartasses claiming they use it at least five times a day; no, you don't. Besides, you can always say "snicker.")

 

[ProtoKun7]

What Veho said.
Besides, snigger is more common, at least in the UK.
Not to be confused with Snickers?

 

[Terminator02]

i've never heard of s[censored] before you said it, here in the US of A it's just snicker

 

[_Chaz_]

No one needs to use the words that are censored, and no one should use them.
That's why they're censored.

 

[dilav]

Is [censored] still censored?

ah, it no longer says fuzzy kittens.

 

[Ace]

I hardly see anyone throwing these words around without being trolls. It's good that they're in place, since they don't exactly belong on a family-friendly board like the Temp.

 

[yusuo]

I've never spotted any censorship on this site, i've seen people saying fuck, shit and everything on this site some of which ive read today

SEE

 

[yusuo]

i can say frape but not [censored]

 

[Ssx9]

...Wait, what?

[censored]

Whooooa. Is there any list for the censored words?

 

[Lily]

But what ever, your house your rules.

..and that's the thread, isn't it? Our house, our rules.

 

[CCNaru]

I suggest replacing the word r*** with ponied, since they pretty much mean the same thing

:/

Ponied up = Paid owed money.
Also regarding s[censored], it is quite a well used word in Britain especially in childrens comics. And wasn't Muttley often reprimanded for the act by Dick Dastardly?

 

[bowser]

...Wait, what?

[censored]

Whooooa. Is there any list for the censored words?

Sure...here you go:

[censored]
[censored]
[censored]
[censored]
[censored]

 

[Bladexdsl]

this thread is still going? surprised it hasn't been sent to the eof by now

[censored]

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

I have no intention of moving this to the EoF.
It's a serious discussion about a serious matter, and it needs to stay that way.

ah fuck, i didn't know this fucking forum was supposed to fucking be family-friendly.
fuck.

in all seriousness, i don't see a point in letting this forum go R-rated while only censoring certain words. what's the point?
just as in real life, we use slang. anything from the word "cool" (oh that's so "cool") to "gay" (oh that's so "gay") is slang. no one should take it personally.
we use profanity as slang. fuck/fucking, shit, bitch. we don't mean sex, fecal matter, or female dogs when we say it. and we don't associate the slang term "gay" with actual homosexuality.
gay people who get offended by it need to get over themselves and stop being so insecure.
same goes for r*pe. when you say you "r*ped someone," you don't mean you forcefully sexed them up. it means you "owned" them. which is also slang.
slang is slang, and it should be treated as such. there are boundaries, obviously. disciplinary action should be taken against anyone who uses these words offensively,
but hey - shouldn't disciplinary action be taken against anyone who speaks speaks with the intention of offending a group or groups of people regardless of whether they use offensive words or not?

TL;DR
slang is slang. we all use it. stop being hypocrites.

that's my thought on the matter.

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

While we may not necessarily be truly "family friendly" here, we're not going to have it look like we're a bunch of fucktards running around calling anything we don't like "gay" or saying that our gaming prowess is so great that it can be compared to forcing ourselves onto unwilling people.

It's not a matter of hypocrisy; it's a matter of having some fucking decency.
And it's not up for debate.
