Ok, the filter does not help. We all know what "shiz" and "fark" really mean, so why not just make them real words? It wont detract.
Yea we all know. But we already have flaming problems and free use of those words will only increase it. None will get hurt from our filters. If you can't take part in a discussion without these words then you should not post at all.
Plus, some of those words, when freely written, don't allow you to access SEN from school (or something like that). Not that I would know
.
The site is rated Teen +13, just like the game. Teen curse words are very minor, and aren't filtered out. Only the major words are filtered out.
The site is
rated PG-13, and you don't often hear the F word in PG-13 movies.

Total BS. I hear the F-bomb in PG-13 movies all the time. Please be quiet.
It doesn't matter whether it was mature before.. as -___________- said, it's 'teen' now. Just because people put serious curses in PG-13 movies doesn't mean we should encourage that and curse. It also shows how SEN is less professional and lowers respect.
What's the difference anyway? If people know what they mean, like you said, then there's no need to have the real word.
It might be a good idea to remove it, and people who use the words offensively can get warned. Also, at user sign-up/profile, you can edit to set or not to set filters.

You used to be banned. Please shush.
Saying the F word more than once automatically makes the movie R. I saw it in a movie once.
Actually, PG-13 movies can say the eff bomb more then once. Eg.- Bruce Almighty is rated Pg-13 and he said it a few times.
the PG-13 movies that use the curse words do have a meaning of expression. really now! would they make Bad Santa a PG-13 movie? they use the F word so many times that he says it when he not mad.
if you cant handle a little filter, then you dont belong here.
The filter stays, and the solution to your problem is simple: if you don't like having your posts get filtered, don't use the curse words in the first place.
Amazingly enough, it is possible to articulate your thoughts without swearing.
Not only is it possible, it's more mature!
Sometimes, when talking about someone or something, you cant call them stupid all of the time.
And fine, keep the filter, but stop censoring the word, D.ck...(One character censor? Well how else can I tell you?!) It sounds completely retarded when George Bush and wang Cheney ran for office.
And come on, you cant ban people who flame? Im not asking for the "F word", but what about jack.. arse..., or something.
The admins and moderators have better things to do then ban and warn people when the admins could do nothing about it now and not worry about it later. Simple logic. Put a rock on your toe, and you'll have to move it later anyways, or don't touch the rock at all.
Nobody knows who Im talking about when I say that. And everyone isnt going to remember to put Richard, anyway.
I get not wanting obscenity on your board, but d..k?
Whatever
Yea, remove the swear filter, so Moose wouldn't have to call me "farking" stupid in my sig

And by the way, there's a word for that.
Moderators.Why do you absolutely need your swear words. If its to properly express yourself you shouldn't post here in the first place. If its to look cool, you should get some new friends. If its to act "mature" think about this, the adults who use swearwords the most are the fat truck drivers who live in a dump, if they are the most mature people to you... I won't finish this.
Also remember that each time you evade filters you can get warned for it. If we remove filters, you could get warned for every time you post fark or shiz.
Besides if you need the f-words so badly you can just evade filters

So that gives you justification to tell me to be quiet? Whatever. I have as much right to post here as anyone else. So why don't you "shush"?
Anyways.
Remove the filter. Let the members get themselves warned.
