so why debate we shouldnt allow this rule. its part of the english language, u get swear words 24/7 on tv, 24/7 on games, Jesus u even get it alot on habbo so why not just let this be.

because, perhaps, not all of us want to read a forum with f this and f that.
gets me? it makes the whole atmosphere nicer. i do belive the filter should be relaxed, for example if you go on habmate, they have a less strict filter & its still a good atmosphere.
get rid of the filter together & i sincerely believe it'd be vile.

I would actully think it would be fantastic.. Maybe they should do what habbos done, like click something if you wanna be able to see swear words if your 13+

tbh when i log onto this forum i dont want to hear

"YOU'RE A ******* **** YOU ******* **** **** **** ******** YOU DESERVE TO ******* ROT"

Well your not.

i think if you're stressed like "**** this" or what ever is okay. but if it's aimed at someone it should be punished.

I'm sorry, but I truly cannot see any reason why this would be remotely useful to anyone.

Firstly, swearing isn't big and clever, and I think nearly everyone can get there point across to others without cursing and blinding. It doesn't add anything to the conversation your having, it just lowers the tone.

Secondly, not every parent is going to be happy to have there child visiting a site which is riddled with bad language. There is just no need. Some parents do watch there kids on the Internet, and those parents are going to be a bit put off if they see swearing.

Thirdly, it will make life harder for the moderation team. Our job is stressful enough already, without having to decide what swearing is directed at a person and what swearing is just a general comment.

So like example:

Ermmm Lets say I call Xavier a ****** I would get an infraction

Now if I say, Oh for **** sake I can't stand Xavier = No infraction or warning?


DONT INFRACTION ME ITS JUST AN IDEA :'(

Or you coulod get over the fact that xavier don't like you an stop using him as an example.

And no.

This is a HABBO FANSITE

even habbo lets you swear now? so if the site itself lets you sweasr the FANSITE should let you aswell -.-
