Kind of proving the point a bit more. Anyways, GSW needs an offencive language filter I think, removing phrases such as "is/are ***" and "**** you", not something that would hinder conversations about being *** and whatnot, or whether or not hell exists or not, but actual offencive phrases, that way, it won't hinder talk about such subjects in GSW. I know Mods will help solve this, but maybe we need something for the Mods to use as an autopilot when they're away.

However, this would take alot of time to program, going through every swear word in the world and replacing them with ********'s(no specific word input)

I DEFINATELY suggest that the offense filter should be up. Filter all cusswords exept for the D-word and the H-word and filter any word having to do with very offensive or innapropreate definitions.

Before Max didn't want to put them in because there are always going to be a way to get around filters, but really, putting in a filter could only prove good, so I don't see why one shouldn't be implemented.

It truly is impossible (and please don't call me Silo). But just saying that would be a tad fruitless. It is probable, but, of course, Flash does have its limitations.

Nevertheless, as you may have heard me mention in other threads, we are going to have member-moderation, which basically means that if a majority of the people online at a given time want to "kick" a certain user, then that user will be kicked. That way there doesn't have to be a moderator present, and it also prevents abuse because you have to have the majority. More details on that when the beta comes out.
But for now, I'm afraid we are just going to have to live with it. I completely understand your concern, and I don't like it any more than anyone else, but there's not much I can do at this point.

and if a moderator is present, their decision should have more influence, or override all other votes.
Maybe people can be ranked, and their judgement can have more influence. Like, a n00b's vote counts a one. senior votes count as 2, etc.
and people can be 'suspended' from voting by mods. That would make the votes more reliable. I doubt someone of 'senior' status would be as compelled to kick undeserving people as a n00b.

Max said exactly what I was trying to say earlier in this thread. For you who don't understand what I mean, they can replace an "i" with a "!", for example, and get around the filter.

And yeah, sometimes swearing is fine if it's in context(Bible says "Mary rode in on her ass"), and sometimes it's just something you let slide, so I guess filter + voting system = what we need?
