Little bit of a question about the swear filter

[GommeInc]

Some people have put them in their signatures which looks really immature but hopefully the novelty will wear off soon.

Gommel I agree I find the word you are talking about a lot less offensive than
piss or ***** which I personally do ( I know in the minority )

Indeed, they'll get bored after a month (unless they forget to change their signatures ) ***** is very rude compared to ****. Not sure who thought it was rude, I would like to see why it's not been unfiltered.

Could be used in a "I *****ed my finger" way though

Yes, but you can say "he's a *****," which is ruder than "he's a dick" which in social terms is ruder.

you can't, you'll get infracted for insulting members then

So why can't the 4 letter word which loads would associate with penis then be edited by a moderator as offensive when it is used offensively? There's not been any clear thought put into unfiltering the word by the looks of it.

the only non-offensive way to use that is to describe a type of pudding, something which not many people do really.

i was against unfiltering piss but moreso ***** as theres only one way that can be used in a non-abusive manner.

I don't even know a none-abusive away of saying ***** **** is less abusive anyway, and you can use it to talk about a penis... It's not exactly rude.

I don't really see a problem with the filter. It's better having it, then not having it. Arguments would seem even more rude if certain words were unfiltered, that would just cause more trouble. There is no real need to use them words.

Penis isn't really rude as it is the scientific word. The other words are more for insults so they will remain filtered.

I agree, if some words were unfiltered people would just go crazy with it.
