Overly Moderated?

I don't think the age debate should come into it either, unless you've lived a very sheltered life and are home-schooled then most kids probably know most swear words. The fact that they are using the internet also suggests that they are aware of nearly all swear words unless their parents are sitting next to them checking for swear words while they browse HxF and other sites.

(Not saying the filter should be removed or anything like that, it should be there for the benefit of everyone)

Regardless of whether you've heard the words or not it doesn't create a nice atmosphere for people of younger age groups. It will put them off using the site. It's annoying when people say "everyone is older on hxf now!!!11" no. they are not.

It doesn't create a nice atmosphere for people of any age

true. however, if people you're friends with when you're 20 are swearing and your parents hear them, they won't care. if you're 13, there is a stronger chance they will. just an example which is relatively comparable to the situation.

i have come up with alternative swear words instead.
God thank Dewcawks.

It still doesn't make it a nicer atmosphere whether you are 13 and swearing or 50 and swearing, whether parents care or not is a different story

i never said it's a better atmosphere, i said it's worse for younger people. vast difference. i've already acknowledged swearing creates a poor atmosphere anyway, i'm merely playing devils advocate to allow people to see all angles of the argument, something numerous people are incapable of doing.

I don't see how that is the other side of the 'argument'. You were talking about parents caring not about what atmosphere it creates.
