    I honestly did not mean for it to become this complicated. :p

    I only wanted to make sure people didn't mask obvious curses with stars, that's all.

    :p

    I should've known people would ask about stupid words like Hoser and whatnot. :p

    I think the ironic thing is that when you typed in a "four-letter word" at the UBB it came out as four asterisks. The UBB censor should be banned!!! :p

    I still think this is bunk. 99% of the people here aren't dumb enough to post obscenities and the 1% of posters who are dumb enough to do that would end up banned anyway. This policy is redundant and pointless and I respectfully ask you to drop it and go back to being admins/mods instead of thought police.

    Now what if I'm quoting a popular song, and I use an incorrect number of *s.
    (ie: Everlast: 'get a job you ***ing slob's all we reply') You know what word is being masked there (If you don't, you don't know good music :p ), but I fit criteria by using odd number of *s. Am I banned?

    Or another scenario, somebody posts a typical thread with random mumbo-jumbo in the JCC, they decide to slam their head on the keyboard to see what comes up, suppose it went like this...
    afhasdfh;asdh ;hgkl;a ag l;ashgrhl;as hjoajgar hl;oajttorha hklvnhfo;aw n gf;atg;oarnv;aro;gfao;rjgtrl;ajto ajrtojhoserafjopahr f;rhjgo; ajg o; ajgo;erhg;sho;gj.
    Now there is a controversial word in there (Only one I know of), is this automatic IP ban?

    Or suppose I should post an essay on marine life in french...


    See the many possibilities? Damn, (GL said it in ANH, ESB) I should be annoying like this more often!

    I personally think that this is rather childish and silly. This place isn't open to anyone under thirteen. Perhaps people just don't know what 13 year olds hear these days.

    Don't get me wrong, we don't need the f-word, s-word, b-word, etc. being thrown around here, but this is a bit too strict. I just don't need my mommy watching me here.

    Are there any plans for Snowboards to add the censoring in for us?

    Those who feel the need to use profanity lack creativity and intelligence.

    Blanket statements and oversimplifications would seem to be against the very nature of a discussion forum. Maybe this is why the "rules are the rules and that's it" mentality rubs some of us the wrong way. There's usually a better way to say things to your target audience than just broadsiding them with THE RULES.

    Houses of cards can be built just as easily from unyielding orthodoxy as from unthinking foolishness.

    Sometimes the F word or some other word is just simply the best way to say what you wanna say. It doesn't mean you have a limited vocabulary.. If you're using curse words correctly, it means you have a broad vocabulary and can find words to perfectly suit your emotion.

    That said, I never understood people's hysteria on the subject.. Words can't hurt anyone, and the type of people who get offended by certain words are the people who make those words offensive. I say just grow up, breath deeply, and move on. Then again, I don't run this place.

    Geez, this is getting to be like having a leash shoved up your [CENSORED].

    Whatever, I still like it here more so than any other place, so I guess we can all play nice and abide by the idiot rules.
