Activate the Swear Filter

Right, I got sent a warning because I used a naughty word for excrement without knowing it's against the rules. I've been using this word often in place of the word "stuff" as people do. I'm not disputing the warning but I've got to ask why this is allowed in the first place?

Forum software comes with the ability to censor words that aren't allowed to be used in posts so why is it not activated? I made the assumption that such language was allowed when it is not censored. I'm sure others do too. Every forum I've ever used that doesn't want strong language has it automatically filtered, yet this one does not.

Xenor is right.

If you don't like strong language, censor it. Period.

You really didn't think it was against the forum rules? Really? :rolleyes:

Actually that's a good point, heh.

But yeah.... any game's official forum has a basic language filter. Well, except for SWTOR's forums which have Overkill-TreatEveryoneLikePreSchoolers-LolTheyFilterTheWordPornography-RunByAbsoluteMoronsOfModerators filter.
