Swearing filter

[Dynastia]

I've got a pretty filthy mouth, and quite often let out a word unfit for civilised company without meaning to. This can also happen when I'm typing something up quickly and not doublechecking every word I post ; so as you can imagine, I was relieved to see there's a word-replace filter here (and anywhere else I post where swearing is not tolerated).

 

Only problem is, I've been checking out the rules and the reasons people were banned, and noticed quite a few folks have been banned for vulgar language. So my question is, do I have to start doublechecking each post I make before I hit "reply", or are these people who deliberately bypassed the swearing filter with ASCII symbols or whatever, and I can pretty much relax and let the swear-filter take care of cleaning up my posts?

I'd recommend being a tad careful and trying to clean up your posts a little from now on. The filters aren't very extensive so a few f-bombs or the like might find you getting punished :X

Like Dark0ne said, you need to take the time to be careful and re-read what you typed. If it is not important enough for you to re-read what you type, then it is likely to not be important enough for anyone else to read the 1st time.

 

The vast majority of those banned for use of vulgar language was due to them EXPECTING they have the right to do so and purposefully trying to get around the filters. The filters are there to catch the occasional oops, especially those new to the site so they can see that there are rules that prevent such things...and hopefully learn to avoid doing so in the future rather than trying to figure out how to get around them. I personally enjoy giving those the boot that try. I also tend to wipe every post they made in order to clean up any other filth they tried to leave behind. :devil:

Being from a commonwealth country and knowing that the way we talk in casual conversation tends to be pretty monstrously offensive to a majority of Americans, so I do try to be careful on international forums. I've got no problem with having a few words struck from my vocabulary, and no problem with checking over my posts ; I just wanted to quickly check to see how careful I'd have to be.

Well, there are quite a few Americans that speak with a curse word as every-other-word in a sentence during casual talk but everyone has to clean it up while on this forum.
