I think we should get rid. Why have it if we're never going to become official? If somebody was abusing it as in swearing at people all the time they should be banned i agree but like if we're trying to get our point across swearing should be allowed.
Due to there being different age ranges of people that use the forum, some words / phrases are deemed unacceptable, therefore the filter is in place.
But you gotta be sensible people are going to hear it in real life its inevitible. The youngest members like 12 ? = in high school = will hear it. Your just hiding them from the truth "/Quote:

I have not hiding from the truth, if you look at most forums they have filters on them, it will not be taken away.
Yea its life. You will hear it like it or not.Quote:

Why do I need to give examples it is the just normal common sense to have a filter. There is no point in arguing over it, it will not be removed.
thats stupid "/ It isn't normal common sense to have a filter if we aren't on the official list nor ever going to be
You will probably find that some people don't like swearing and therefore the forum has to cater for them, therefore the filter is in place.
I'd say the majority dont care. And why is the word sh'ift filtered?Quote:

You should be aloud to swear past 11:00pm :)
Who would listen to that rule? I think some words in the filter could be removed, but not thewhole filter.Quote:

younger users? the youngest are like 12 not 4
Exactly, and swearing at 12 is not going to do you any favours in later life is it? Think about other people, not your own freedom and leisure.
I am. going on habbo a 12 year old would see swearing. In real life a 12 year old would see swearing. Going to school a 12 year old would see swearing. My 9 year old sister knows all the swear words "/Quote:

We don't want that to happen but we can't stop it; we can stop it on HabboxForum with the filter.
whats the point in stopping it if they already know it ?Quote:

If that is too complicated for you, the more they see it the more they will use it.
And they are going to see it in books, hear it at school, real life and other situations.Quote:

Yeah an option, good idea Track.

Thanks =)
The filter is not here because we hope to become official, but because we want a nice forum where people respect each other and everybody can enjoy spending time.
I don't think not being able to swear spoils it, it should be possible to get your point accross without using any swear words.
There are even younger members and the forum is better with a filter although there are some words me personally would like unfilteredQuote:

Seriously though, there's no point. Even if SOME kids may know them, does that mean we want to expose everyone to that kind of language?
SOME kids do drugs. Does that mean we should give them to everyone, just because they'll probably be exposed to them in the future? Sure, they may say no and not do it, but there's a huge possibility that because they can, they will.
No because drugs are dangerous :lQuote:

So we should be able to swear if we want.
