    Habbo is aimed at teens aged 11+ and as this is a Habbo fansite then them same kind of people will be visiting the site too. If we allowed people to post them abbreviations then younger members will be like ''what does ***** mean'' and it will encourage swearing and more avoiding the filter and it just creates more hassle for everyone. I mean some people say they want the swear word for emphasis but you can always say it like THIS!

    Is there an option to be able to turn the filter on and off for different users? Like how habbo have it? Maybe if you join a group or something? Faaar better, then you don't even need to moderate it

    It would still need to be moderated for people avoiding the filter who have selected to have it off then if when they are infracted or what ever should be the appropriate warning they could easily change it to allow filtered words to show, causing hassle. Also, just the hassle to moderators having to check (if possible) if people have the filter on/off etc. I, myself can't see it happening.

    Oh yh, good point about avoiding it. But I'd expect less would try and avoid it if that makes sense. And I'm not too sure what you mean by the last point. Simply, if you're in the group, the filters lifted, if not, the *s show up, simple

    However those posts should be reported by those who have the filter on if they're insulted by the language - if they don't report it they can't care that much.

    Fairly sure it's easy enough not to swear, most people manage it fine and it's only occasionally a minor annoyance

    As for wildcards on filters, it seems a good idea in theory but those who were on Habbo before they took the filter off (as is basically the case; no-one keeps it on as far as I know) you'd get random Bobbas in the middle of perfectly innocent sentences because the wildcarding on the filter got confused, commonly when I was trying to cyber with little boys and couldn't say 13/f/uk when asked my asl which was quite annoying

    Its not a case of if it insults someone, it is the fact of the swear words in them. Like Flyingjesus said, its not a massive problem not to swear - just dont avoid the filter and you'll be ok.
