Why is the filter made for 11 year olds?

[Seatherny]

Tbh, I don't really want to go around the forum seeing posts like this in every thread:

----------------------------------------

Wow thats fucking awesome!

I fucking want that game!

Terry is a fucking arsehole

----------------------------------------

I can guarantee if the filter was removed, things such as that will be posted in most threads.

[kk.]

I think someone should reply to what I wrote..

I also have a question. Does habbo filter abbreviations? Like even when the filter is on?

[Seatherny]

The argument about the words are on the forum forever, yeh they are, but the user has chosen to see those words. I mean, whether you see it for 30seconds, or for 7 days whilst threads active, it doesnt make a difference, you've still read it and you chose to. I just hate seeing the stars and not knowing what they're saying.

How would it cause moderation problems :S I fail to see how so please correct me if I'm mistaken.

At least trial this suggestion. Joining a group would work because you wouldn't auto have the filter off. Also, 18+ and gender forums.. Pls

There is no option on vB (not that I can remember) to turn the filter off for certain usergroups.

Having the option to turn the filter off would be pointless and tantamount to simply removing the filter altogether, as I doubt many people would want it left on because they wouldn't be able to follow half of the inane and cuss-filled conversations that would crop up as a consequence of the change. Frankly, with the exception of maybe a couple of jokes we're not missing out on anything important by not being able to swear, so I don't see the problem with having a filter.

The filteris a little strict ...

You know you're failing when habbos rules aren't as strict as yours.

Yes that works, if you don't like it leave :rolleyes: how stupid a suggestion is that?

Very sensible :S If you don't like an ISP, you move to another. If you don't like a job, you leave and get another. If you don't like your wife, you kill her and remarry. Its not like its a new concept!
