[ PROFANITY ON THE FORUM ] - official discussion

TMyApp · 03-09-2002, 09:02 PM

i have looked the other way too often hoping that people can be mature enough not to abuse the "free speech" policy of this forum...

however, if people don't think they can control themselves (i'm talking to anyone who used the "f" word in their posts in the last month or so)... a filter will be added to the forum... as it has been added to the game's chat...

that is all...

Nferno666 · 03-09-2002, 10:00 PM

i hardly cuss at all here....i use other words close to the one i really want to say to that person..

Warmor · 03-09-2002, 10:13 PM

A filter would be cool! Don't make it like EverQuests where it just makes it look like chibberish, make it like the code section of the Spider Man game for the PlayStaion, where if you say any 4 letter words it changed it to like Cheese or Bunny

asshole · 03-09-2002, 11:04 PM

Warmor, you mean like the one www.senshukentaikai.com has?

Well TMyApp, it would be Damned cool to have one of those.. but sorry, I just can't live without cussing

.
I will try to stop thou!

NO FILTER!!! NO FILTER!!!

I think I clearly showed my opinion.

Use of Profanity
puzzled leading scientists for centuries

we just have to accept swearing is a part of human culture

KidKrazyShit · 03-10-2002, 09:15 AM

you know, this really bugs the #### out of me. What is the big "f'n" deal with profanity??
How is the word "shit" different from the words "the,is,like,as,to"
THERE JUST WORDS!!! In my opinoin, if you cant handle certain words then you need to grow up. I repeat, THERE JUST WORDS. The word "f*ck" is know different from the words "me,you,us,there,computer,chair"

I dont, and don't think I will ever get the big deal with profanity. Who are we to judge what words are "bad"?
So, if a filter is going to be put in, ppl are just going to use @&#36&#36 for ass,f*(k for "the f word", sh!t for shit, so if I were you TMyApp, I wouldn't waste my time, but I guess you gotta do your own thing.

So all im asking is for ppl to just think about it, THERE JUST WORDS.

It isn't exactly profanity itself that is the problem; it is the incredible abuse of the use of profanity. People, when angry, don't just post, "F*ck you, retard." They post f*ck over and over and over...

It gets tiring to see so much profanity. A little profanity goes a long way in showing your emotion at the time; there is no need to see how many times you can use f*ck in a single post.

asshole · 03-10-2002, 03:22 PM

I also agree with KKS... whats the use, if there are more than 1 ways... and people still know what you are talking about or saying?

And TMyApp, the "Profanity Blocker 9000"(heh) also needs to be fixed in the server.. there's one problem with it, REPLY to this message to hear it...

Gothic Archangel · 03-10-2002, 09:16 PM

I do not wish a filter for the Forum. The chat room is annoying when trying to use profanity. We already have to put up with one filter in the chat rooms, lets not have it for the forum
