I've got no idea why this is filtered? It's a perfectly normal word used to describe a cigarette. http://www.habboxforum.com/showpost....6&postcount=35
It's a bit over the top don't you think? They use it on childrens TV so why on earth is it filtered on here?
You can just say cigarette.Quote:

so it's okay.
There are hundreds of words that don't need filtering. Dick is one of them. Fag comes from burning homosexuals at a stake I believe? So there isn't really a bad background anymore, that's dried up and buried in this day and age.
How come it isn't filtered when you say it? It hasn't been unfiltered as it's still censored in my post.
I don't see why, gomme especially, argues about every little thing wrong with the forum, like unfiltered words.
Why do people need to say the words you've stated, "my friend ****..." why not just call them Richard, *** - why not cigarette. Simple.
I disagree, I have been called that word loads of times. It doesn't bother me but some people could find it offensive so I'm guessing that's why it's filtered.Quote:

And as Gomme used a caital it overid the filter.
Why are people called Nick, Alex, John? Short hand my dear ;) It's like you calling me gomme, when you should call me GommeInc. Also, the D word isn't offensive, much like ***** isn't or piss, they're only rude when used a rude in context. *** isn't offensive neither, in this century at least. Most homosexuals find the word amusing and if you use it offensively you get aload of abuse thrown back anyway. Most people can just say you're a gay ***** if they really want to be more offensive, than the 3 letter F word :)Quote:

I agree wholeheartedly. The three letter F word as Gomme put it can be used in a homophobic context.Quote:
