Well obviously that's Finnish for a start. There aren't any English words you can really use. I imagine that to start with swearing will be blocked. Eventually, they will be using a blacklist system rather than a whitelist. Who knows if they'll add swearing to that blacklist or not

Chat becomes less and less restrictive as you become more experienced in the game. I'm assuming it will be like the "Helper tree" where you have to progress through various levels.

It how it stars and then as you prove yourself, you get more words. I don't see why swearing should be blocked, although we shouldn't use it anyway in the presence of young people, but peado's don't usually swear whentryign to groom young children, so swearing isnt really an issue.

Paul says swearing won't be filtered in the end as their aim isn't to teach users manners. I disagree with this however; I'm sure many parents wouldn't be happy to find out their children (by that I don't necessarily mean under the age of 13) were being exposed to some of the language I've encountered on the hotel. Yes, it's nice to give us the freedom, but at the same time, I don't think it should be allowed on a site aimed at and available to users of such a young age.

Parent's say bold words infront of their kids all the time, if they dont wanna see the words thats what the filter option is for lol

He's right though. Habbo isn' there to teach us manners, thats parents jobs. If we wish to express ourselves by way of swearing, and he allows it, why not?

I'll be furious if Habbo eradicates swearing, it's meant to be a site for expression, and removing profanities will prohibit expression for many users.

how dare you make a new thread!!!!!!!!! have you not read all 200+ pages of the mute thread?!?!?!

(i joke, i don't really care about the chat i just want to be ABLE to chat)

[CreatureOfNight]

Even if we can't swear, I won't be mad. I mean sure everyone swears, but swearing isn't necessary. I'll still be on habbo, and I'll just be happy that we'll be able to actually chat/talk again.
