Should the swearword filter be abolished on TiBB. I personally do not think it's needed for a few reasons.
1. People circumvent it all the time. 2. The language used on reality TV is no worse than the language used on here. 3. Anyone with a membership to a reality TV forum is old enough to read bad language. Thoughts? |

i don't think it is nesessary, you have to be 13+ to sign up for tibb anyway, and by that age most people have sworn/heard/seen it all already.

This is a Big Brother forum. Big Brother is not a kid friendly show. I don't see why this forum should be.
Simple. |

Its pointless.
Its not as if people havent heard it before, and if your offended by it because your 10 years old then ****! I know 4 year olds who swear (shocking init) so seriously, its not needed. And its not as if its going to offend anyone, its just writing. Fucking needs took off if you ask me

Plus should the mods not cater to the majority? Who are the majority? Late teens and adults who can tolerate the swearing or kids?
Plus plus the people who swear will evidently continue do it anyway making the filter irrelevant. Again, simple. |

If this poll continues in this manner, I'd say mods/admin would have to respond.

I really don't need to say much more other than that I agree with the posts in this thread. There's absolutely no need for it. Just get rid of it.

Do away with it, and add a filter function in the control panel.

Perfect compromise right there. If swearing nauseates you to the point where you find it necessary to see four or five astrixes in a row instead, switch your filter on.
And for the record guys when your members do see four astrixes in a row, the brain registers it as 'fuck' anyway making the filter even more irrelevant. We still know they are curses. The human brain is good like that. |

I remember hearing something like this on a comedy show, and it's true. What on earth is the point in it?

Or maybe have a filter option in the user panel. If you are offended by swearing then you can turn the filter on?

I believe for legal reasons a site with users under a certain age has to have a filter. Silly i know but true

Does it really need removed though? It doesn't make any difference really.

Well no, it doesn't NEED to be removed but most people on here find it is unnecessary. I hate seeing posts full of asterisks. What are they trying to protect me from?!?

Yeah, I say it should be removed as well, or at least use Enid's compromise.

Kids hear far worst in the street. What 11,12,13,14,15 or 16 year old do you know that doesnt swear? Everyone does now, its just pointless having the censor. I agree with Enid, put an option in the control panel for it or not. I hope the mods see this and take notice.
