Once again,another!

Hey when someone swears it gets censored to this: **** But how about the 🤬 smilie?.

before: **** blah blah blah

after: 🤬 blah blah blah

That's ****ing stupid. I don't want smilies in my post, unless I explicitly place them there. I'd prefer to be able to just swear once in a while. I'm sure most 13 year-old have heard the F word, and other fun four-letter words.

 

[Cobraboy]

Yeah, the only smilies I want in my post are the ones I put in.

Fair idea, and it wouldn't be too hard to implement. But then there's Klos...

I've actually thought of this before, but I decided against it because of the way vB swear filter works. It replaces each character in the word with a specified character, which would be the smilie instead of the *. Then, you'd have a line of the smilies, which would take up a lot of room and look funny.

I'd prefer to be able to just swear once in a while. I'm sure most 13 year-old have heard the F word, and other fun four-letter words.

I'm not concerned about younger kids reading the words (because obviously it's nothing they haven't heard before), but I am concerned about the mentality and the mindset that swearing brings with it. Whether it works or not, I think it is one more discouraging barrier against immaturity and ignorance. Anyone with real maturity can get their point across without using profanity, and that's the kind of people I want using the website.

Yeah! I ****ing agree!

I'd have to say that I agree with Klos. in this day and age, i'd be surprised if anyone that's 13 hadn't heard these words.

Try anyone under 8. I coached an 8 and under roller hockey team over the summer and some of those kids had worse mouths than most the kids my age. The worst one was a 6 year old.

I've seen a few 5 year olds with language like that, although all Maoris learn to speak like that from a young age.

Hmm, i dont believe in swearing unless i necessarily need to let it out. I used to swear like a sailor, but ive gone past those immature days. I like the feeling of being respected and not criticized by others by the use of profanity. I mean sure, i get stupid sometimes, but hey, dont we all?

But my mom, now theres a gal that uses **** in about every other sentence..

Being Australian, pretty well every other word that comes out of my mouth is a swear word - and it's worse when I drive. That said, I find Jordan's language policy here quite refreshing, and I agree that it does help with conduct on the site.

There's plenty of forums out there where posts are so filled with swearing that it's almost impossible to piece together what the writer was trying to say - this doesn't need to be one of them.

Can we use capitals, please? If ever there was a country more deserving of capitals than Australia, I'll eat my hat.
