I understand why certain words are blocked. It makes things easier to moderate and blocks offensive language.
Problem is, it seems like you guys allow many offensive words (the a-word for one) and don't allow many words, like helll and damm (you do allow "damned" though)
(Note:I intentionally misspelled the words that would be blocked normally)
Why is this???
Example of A-word being used:

The words that are blocked are the vBulletin forum software defaults, which are obviously not very well thought out...
Clay and Dee don't seem to mind bad language as long as it's not overdone or extreme, and personally neither do I. If it were up to me and I had some free time to do it I'd probably just turn the filters off completely, but it's not really worth the time to do anything about it.
*shrug*
I share the same views as ohms. The reason damned is allowed, and it's not without the ed, is because the censor only checks full words. For example, **** (that's the "s-word"). *****. :p
At the very least, I'd like to see he11, @ss, and d@mn uncensored. Those words aren't really considered "foul language" anymore.
Well I consider them foul!
I meant as in, they aren't censored on things like TV and they're allowed to be said in low-rated movies, etc.
helll and dammn should certainly be allowed in these forums!
Few people actually consider them swears anymore, and the people that consider them swears consider them very mild ones.
can we say **** on here?
edit: Guess not..

Obviously. Still, blatant censorship just isn't right. Just letting people say whatever they what whenever they want isn't right either, but automatic filter systems like vBulletin uses always end up going way overboard.
Yeah it can go overboard. I've had non-swear words **** out before. I see the point there. I guess my rule of thumb is if my parents would have washed my mouth out for saying it I shouldn't say it still!
Why do we swear?...interesting topic, tho belonging in a different forum...see my thread in "Ejections"
As I said in another post:
PS why cant I say **** anymore? Im Catholic. They told me if I masterbated, I would go to ****. If I cheated, I would go to ****. If I screwed a pony in the rump end, I would go to ****. If I rise up against the crackers, poke hot rods through their eyes, stab them, beat them, and put them on a cross up-side-down, I still cant say ****.
So basically, it is not the act, just where you are going.
So lets see,
****, ****, *******, ****, vagina, boobs, breasts, knockers, whores just to test a few. I bet they dont ban nuts, screwhole, or pecker holster.
I prefer dirty sanchez, rusty trombone, donkey punch, and the latest, the Spitzer Swallow.
I just fell out of my chair laughingQuote:

AT LEAST remove crapp. Censoring that is RIDICULOUS!
Isn't it easy to change censors? I started an InvisionFree forum once, and it was easy, is it difficult to change censored words with vBulletin?
What's the big deal....just don't type in a swear word. Stretch your vocabulary and use other words.....
Yeah like *****, D@mn, sh!t
Why the **** are we digging up this two month old *******, stupid as **** topic?!?! :p
Metsguy brought it back up again.....to me it's dumb....so it won't let you cuss....no biggie.
true
But alot of the words it censors aren't even that bad or offensive, like crapp helll, and damnn. Besides, to my knowledge, it isn't that hard to decensor words, is it?Quote:

Why the **** do we ****ing have to use such words to get across ****ty points that half of these ***holes don't ****ing understand?
You could easily just had said I don't understand why we have to use foul language to get across the points I have to make to these guys. It's not that hard.
FYI: I am fine with it, because if I read something like this is just completely turns me off (with or without censors) and I agree with Rick D, we all should know words to use to convey our feelings correctly without resulting in fowl language. Atleast I think you guys should know enough words if I do (and I'm in High School :D ).
It's not like I'm saying the F-word should be unblocked, but at least unblock crapp, I mean, seriously, it's not even considered that bad anyway.
Yeah...that could be amusing...like Ty Cobb, after having been beaned, gets up, dusts himself off, and says "Tut-tut" to the pitcher...:cool:Quote:

When talking to an egghead, I use two-dollar words...when jousting with my peers, I speak in monosyllables...I present myself, to H.M. the Queen, as a gentleman, to the panhandler, as a heartless boor.

I don't give a **** <- That last word could be A LOT of four letter words....
You mean the word filter :rolleyes:.
If you google Websters you can find some 5 and 6 letter words too. :DQuote:

No, the correct way to say that sentence is "Damn, what the hell was that crap that came from your ass?"Quote:
