[Firehorse]

why is this word filtered? It's just a word to describe some types of people.

I wonder why. Do you know how to better describe people like that? Mentally disabled. Case closed. :rolleyes:

Hmm, nice but still the word ****** has a slightly different meaning to mentally disabled. Like they act that way but aren't actually disabled.

Idiotic you mean? Well, then you're turning it into an insult aren't you.

otherwise, you could say they were mentally incapable. physically disabled would just be disabled soooo... got a problem?

I'm not questioning the meaning of the word Just why it's filtered when it's not a very bad word at all.

I mean... 7 year olds use it and the minimum age for this forum is 11, not 6 like most of the staff behave as it is.

In the eyes of the Moderators, it's considered as an insult and ano many people do call others that for an insult. There's not many mentally disabled people on the forum anyway (that I know of) but I doubt they'd want to admit it either.

Just to add on, do you remember when they unfiltered *****? Everyone used it against eachother but it worn off after a while. I doubt 'mentally disabled' would be as fast as that.

Calling somebody is though don't you think? What nice use of the word could you think of on the forum if it was unfiltered?

I wanted it unfiltered for effect, you could throw the insult of stupid and idiot at someone and they aren't any better than ******.

you may be describing a character in a comodie. "Mr ******" etc... Many uses.

It also just points out how down to earth the rules are, it's getting as bad as my school and I don't get told off for calling someone a ****** there.

You have just basicly said in your post that it is acceptable to call 'types' of people that word, which in my opinion is offensive.

Wait a minute... Uh, did you just admit you wanted it unfiltered so you can use it as an insult? I sort of got that impression when you said that O_o
