Hey :)
A lot of members of this forum swear and its not as if people never use it.
I think as its a teenagers forum, I think swearing should be allowed when saying something like "oh ****, i forgot to do it" or "I hate Luke (off Big Brother), he is a ******* **** who is the biggest game player in there."
But it shouldnt be allowed when its being used to be rude towards another member.
E.g. "You are a ******* moron :@"
What do you guys think?
We've been over this several million times in this forum and the answer is no.
Edit: Anyway, if you're that shallow and uneducated that you have to use swearing in every sentence where there is plenty of other vocabulary that you can use you're not really going to get far in life.
I haven't seen a thread on this so I apologise.Quote:

I agree with you run i have not needed to swear in this forum once! It shouldnt be allowed cuz if i am on here and my little nephew who can read reads that! Well... you know what will happen.
we should be allowed to say " *removed* " though..
Edited by brandon (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not avoid the filter
Why do you feel the need to say "I hate my ******* mum" as opposed to "I hate my mum"?Quote:

If ou feel you should swear, you obviously need a better vocabulary.
Anywho, I like being able to type the swear word and then it being *'d out because I don't like swearing, so when it *'s out, it's good :8
Arn't words like ********** *ed out? If so, thats annoying. Takes me ages to work the word out in the Teens Forums :(
I was just suggesting an idea as I have seen so many people swearing on the big brother forum ..Quote:

e.g. this thread is ****.
Nah, then you'll get ***** who think they are "hardcore" for swearing =[
And then all the e-rebz and zeddas coming back on the forum and spamming it like hell.Quote:

I rarely swear, I was just suggesting it as sometimes, like someone said, its difficult to know what people are saying when its all ****'ed out.Quote:

It's not hard to work out what the word is, given the context.
Like 'For **** sake'.
Habbo give you the option to turn it off? :OQuote:

@ everyone saying "if you swear you need a better vocabulary" or whatever - just because you swear doesn't mean your dumb. Sometimes a swear word can express how you're feeling better then any other word. Like if I were to say "**** YOU!" someone would know that I'm angry at them but if I were to be like "Excuse, I do not like your attitude and I'm going to have to tell you to have a great day and here, take some sunshine and lollipops" (obviously not like that, but you get the point) then they wouldn't see that I was as angry as I really was.
A swear word is just like any other word in the way that it can express how you feel, properly.
That being said I'm not really for this idea as too many people would over use it and I think it'd just be more anger issues towards moderators who wouldn't be able to decide whether it was used properly or not, resulting in them infracting someone and the infractee getting upset with them.
We have never (and will never) allow swearing on the forum.
you don't achieve anything from using **** grammar.Quote:

Let's keep the standard high, there is no need to allow swearing.
What the **** is that ****?Quote:

I personally think swearing should be allowed, after all if you think about it, it's only words.
If you refuse to allow it in the forums then it should definately be allowed on the chat. I recall a staff member giving the reason for the filter as "the forums are for formal posts, not conversations" - something along the lines of that.
I agree, a friend of doesnt swear unless he is very angry.Quote:

The discussion of swearing on the forum has been had before, and was decided then (and still is) that the filter won't be removed.
Argueing within the thread doesn't particularly help the cause that you're asking for.
