Should this be filtered?

Piss and ***** are just as bad as 'the F word' in my opinion and I'm sure in many '12 year olds parents' too.

God bless the Terms and Conditions, which clearly state:

"- Although the Administrators and Moderators of Habbox.com and habboxforum.com will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages.

So if a parent does have a go, you can use that against them and they should keep their snobby, angelic children off the webs.

There's also a rule about avoiding the language filter.

i agree with you there - then we get back to the debate about why "piss" and "*****" are unfiltered.. it's all very confusing !

I still disagree with that.

I still disagree with that.

with what? with the fact that "piss" and "*****" are unfiltered? if some angelic twelve year old was sat down having tea (at the table of course) with their parents i doubt they would be happy if they came out with "oh my friend was a complete ***** today"...

How do you reach that conclusion? In TV, films, books and any sort of media the F word is shown as a major vulgarity while piss is a minor vulgarity and a Britishism for drunk and urine. ***** just means needle entering the skin or a 'pin willy' (considering dick is unnecessaily filtered.

Go ask a angelic 12 years olds parents if they agree.

Why do people bring up 12 years old on this forum when the majority of the forum is 15+?

I bet a 12 year old's parents would be amazed they even use a forum online :S

Agreed.

Yep. I think they should be filtered as they are being abused and used whenever possible.

There are people of all ages who use the forum, I know of a few who are under 13.

Surely there's a minimum age to join the forum? A 12 year old is fully aware of what the word piss means and they're not exactly babies... Unless you think all 12 year olds need to be spoon fed everything and kept protected at all times online, so no arguing must break out or any negativity. It's all peace and love etc etc. Considering there are forums based on discussions of a sexual nature and for teens, Habbox kinda bring it on themselves that these sorts of discussions come about. If drinking is involved in teen life, the words being pissed, piss-up etc may all appear. And considering we're allowed to say shiz which means the 4 letter word for faeces, it causes confusion and makes people wonder why they can't say piss and ***** when a word derived for a particularly vulgar word is ok to say.

That's basically saying we should have no filter at all. Regarding the sexual content in the teen section you mentioned, there's a warning on the main forum stating that posting sexual content is forbidden and it is removed immediately.
