why do you need to swear in the first place?

Maybe it adds a je-ne-se-qua to the post?

You just put the words you want censoring in the 'word censor' list in the ACP.

I think censored words are priceless.

"*bleep* off you *bleeping* piece of *bleep*. Your a mother *bleeper*, so go away you lanky streak of *bleep*"

It just wouldnt be the same any other way

I dont think I explained it very well - what I meant was could the user not select if they saw the posts with filtering or not...

I was pleased that I could use the word arse, but that I cant use the word gay (g-a-y) is weird. for beeps sake

Oh after previewing I see that instead of *beep* it now says homosexual...

how about we have a Taliban style board, girls have to be totally covered, we have beards

On a deeper philosophical note why ARE swear words naughty???

Why is f-u-c-k naughty but sex isn't?

You take your choice:

- You must be a member, and have logged in to read the board - and no filter
- You can view the board as guests - filter

Fan of the filter because:- it reduces peoples perpensity to swear, and stops words from being used that are offensive. The meaning can be got across with different vairations or modifications to words but the impact is reduced. This has the effect of cleaning up the board to a certain extent and stopping things from getting out of hand, perhaps.
