    Swearing isn't a matter of maturity at all? I have cleaned songs for DJs many times before as has many others before me and some current DJs to. People know that in the rules it is stated the songs they can't play so they shouldn't be playing them and as far as I'm aware most DJs make sure they don't.

    But it seems like it because there not allowed to hear it but older people do? If you get me... to me as a noob it is anyways. :p

    Imagine **** You by Lily Allen without swearing. Its the same song but it removes the comedy and feeling...
    i used to put the names of my favourite singers here... then i realised nobody cared

    You think comedy is made by swearing in songs? Buy a Nicki Minaj CD and come back to me.

    I don't even swear and I'm mature, don't really see how on Earth you become more mature if you listen to swear words? Surely you're more mature if you don't. I mean, songs shouldn't even need to swear, I know Payphone sounds better without it.

    To younger people it seems that older people can and older people are meant to be mature. Comedy in some songs is swearing and the reason there funny to me personally.

    @Samanfa; tbh I think the point he's trying to get across tho is that a mature person isn't very bothered by mild swearing.

    In my opinion though swearing shouldn't be allowed on the music on the radio, as we need to encourage newer younger members to habbox anyway and having that sort of thing on the radio is not great. I personally would like to see mild swearing not removed but I feel that it is probably better anyway, though it can remove the feeling of some certain music, especially from artists like amy winehouse, but a few artists really isn't enough for a change of rules tbh and really it shouldnt be allowed to have the swear words uncensored.

    I swear it was suggested once by Jin that we should put a watershed on HabboxLive. Although I think this was on in a general chat on MSN and we never went through with it. Do radio's in the UK have a watershed like the television does? Never actually looked into that. Not that it changes anything in regards of Hx.

    The watershed idea wouldn't really work cause of all the different time-zones that are tuned in though to be honest...

    True even if Habbox doesn't have a big international side and is mainly UK/Europe. Then it's our good friends from the United States.

    Default Swear words in songs --

    I thought we couldn't swear on air or play explicit songs because we are official and maybe sulake have a rule about that. But I don't really mind if we can't swear because most songs come with clean versions

    I'm sure this has been put up for discussion many a times. They all come up with the same verdict: we're international, we can't have a watershed.
