There's an auto-filter that replaces some words, although I'm not sure what-all it checks for. It's easy enough to bypass, of course, but the moderati probably wouldn't like that.

 

However, some phrases (for instance, 'poo-out-of-luck') really don't have the same ring to them with said replacements.

After spending nearly 10 years in the navy, I certainly live up to the cliche "curse like a sailor." But after reading your post I just realized that I do not believe I have cursed even once on these forums. This is such a laid-back, friendly and helpful place that there's really not much desire to use profanity. Great compliment to the Nexus community.

 

Then again, I'm sure sooner or later someone will start doing it just for fun, like everybody knows at least one guy that will walk into a crowded room and fart in hope that at least one other person thinks it funny. It never is.

If I see swearing I remove it without necessarily mentioning it in a post, but I don't look at all posts these days. If it gets reported someone will remove it. Of course it depends on what constitutes a 'deletable' swear word. Oblivion has quite a few of the milder ones in game anyway so I don't worry about them.

 

I am inclined to swear when things are not working well - like waiting in for those deliveries that never arrive, or experiencing the fifth computer crash of the day - but not when writing on the forum. To resort to the kind of swearing that gets censored you either have to have such a limited vocabulary you can't articulate without swearing or be so angry you don't care. And I have learned from experience that one should never write stuff down in anger that anyone else is going to see.

 

As an actor/director I sometimes get cast members to do improvisations. One is to act a serious fight (about being discovered two-timing a wife/husband/girlfriend for instance) but without swearing. It can have interesting results.

If you swear you're probably doing one of those things. :rolleyes:
