It's getting a bit out of hand, really. Prick, slut? Ass? These words need to be censored? Come on now. Who is this forum targetted to, 7 year olds? I think over half of us are over 15 here.

Generally, I think in just about all social network sites or online communities you have to be older than 13 to join anyway. So it's not like we or anybody who is going to join are kids. All I'm suggesting here is, can't we be less strict?

A lot of these words I hear on day time TV and in T rated (for people 13 years and older) video games. =/

[kate]

you know what I would find really funny? If a mod went through a censored all of the swears you just said XD

anywho, yes, censoring is wrong because freedom of speech is important and because gssf is not north korea.

That being said this is an all ages forum so you guys have to see max's dilemma. You wouldn't swear infront of young children (or at least hopefully not), so unless he sets this so only people 13 and older can join then there's no guarantee little kids won't see it. Which would be immoral...or something.

Okay forget that, yeah censoring is dumb. Kids are gonna hear it, and if they're on the internet they're sure as hell gonna see it plenty.

I agree that it may be too restrictive (I've removed some of the ones WD mentioned), but keep in mind both what Kate said and the fact that there are some people who take words more offensively than others. Split, while "b*stard" may be practically everyday usage around you, I've personally known people who've been reduced to tears by the phrase, as an example.

[My Best Wishes]

Keep the filters.
Although I am in favour of having the old filters back.

[Folcon]

of course, there aint much point of a swear filter when people just work around it.

Oh good lord, GL. Hahah that's funny. GL = Good Lord.

Anyway, good lord, GL! You should totally do that. XD

LMAO.

You know, that's not a bad idea at all. Hmm. People really want it?

[Golden Legacy]

... all right, fine. Damn you guys are convincing.

I will need a full list compiled of exactly what you all agree on, however, since I'm getting different suggestions tossed around.


EDIT: Also, I want my five stars back. :P

[Golden Legacy]

Hey, I'm willing to do whatever you all decide on. Just create a list that you all agree for and it'll be done.

[Golden Legacy]

(I can't believe I'm encouraging this further)

No. I don't think anyone has tried it out, and yes it is an offensive term (... *cough*).
Wait for Dipset, I'm sure he'd find it.

[Someone Else]

Good work GL. XD

Oompa loompa?

[Toasty]

We need "Bother this nonsense!"

Seriously.

And what's replaced with my screen name?

[EDIT] Toasty had better be "Awesome"


[EDIT 2] DANGIT!

[Nick Presta]

I would just like to point out the Rules.

Excessive profanity, racist or hate speech (of any kind, even in jest), or extremely graphic text will be removed and the post will be warned.

I realize most of you are friends and don't mind these type of words or phrases, but this is an open forum, to people of all ages.
Some members are young, who don't come to a Golden Sun fan-site to see profanity galore, and some members are older, who think needing to curse to get your point across makes you look stupid. :!:

The filter is there for a reason. Circumventing the filter for what ever reason (unless legitimate, and this will be looked at very carefully) will result in a warning.

Thank you.

My mom and whack should go to nonsense and bother. I really think that would be better as "my mom" is starting to get annoying.

[Toasty]

I second that.

my mom doesn't sound right in context at all. =/

[Caael]

I agree. Everything else is fine, but my mom is the worst.

[Mallick]

All of them are whackin' stupid. Just use asterisks or something.

[Golden Legacy]

I was lazy and bored. I'll fix the filters soon.

At any rate, I'm closing this topic now. I'd prefer if people sent me their personal preferences by PM, or just to revert back to the old-fashioned way as PDM suggests.
