Opt in/Opt out swear filter

[Mikey]

In my opinion there should be an option for turning it off or on but if swearing is used to offend or upset other users then they can get an infraction etc, but if it's not towards anyone then ye?

How much would your life improve if you could see unnecessary language?

Not much haha! But in some cases it has to be used.

I can understand the reason of why management don't want to implement it because of younger users but I can also the the other side of the argument with the older users. But for the sake of the younger users of the community I suppose the filter should be kept the way it is.

edit: changed a word lmfao, didn't word it right

Then just swear, people get the point when it comes up as asterixes. Just don't avoid as it's useless and quite naughty

just a question, do people cry when they hear swearing in real life?

No, but I'd rather have a discussion with someone using words that mean something that words (like many swear words) that have been skewered by the pointless and meaningless stick that the words lose all meaning and validity

No, but when people continually swear (like the oh so mature people on here would do, I get the impression that they are not very intelligent chavs.

[Inseriousity.]

The idea that people will start swearing more, I find unlikely. Sure, at first, for a couple of days, there'll be more swearing but once the novelty wears off, it'd go back to normal imo.

Despite that, the filter here isn't really as stupid as Habbo's was. Habbo used to filter 'as soon as' cos of the ass, for example and it was really frustrating and hard to read things. That isn't the case here.

No, but I challenge you to find any in any mainstream television channel before the water shed
or any media, newspaper etc etc etc. They filter too. It is the responsible thing to do as far as I am concerned. Even films are classified with ages limits. That's the way of the world - end of , really. I can hardly see a habbo fansite becoming part of the alternative media. Also I have not heard one sensible suggestion in favour of it. What positive attrubutes to the forum would it bring?

Various newspapers do not filter, and OFCOM impose restrictions to safeguard children from swearing for the watershed, I dare say there would be swearing if it wasn't for OFCOM's restrictions. That is a totally different situation using totally different media.
