Default Do we really need a filter on the word ****?
Do we? I mean, I can understand 'f' and 'c' words but why the 's' word? Is it really considered that offensive a word today? Does it cheapen up the forum is it just a word that doesn't need a censor? Personally, I'd class it on the same level as 'crap' or 'piss' and those words aren't filtered out.

Over to you guys...

Think you're pushing it a little bit there. I'd rather there was no filter, too, but I can understand **** and c to the unt and that. But ****? Really? That actually takes the piss, IMO. After all, it comes out of your body every day.

Obviously there should not be a filter. Astrexis and crap members make the forum look cheaper than swearing and if anyone is offended by the swearing then it's their problem and they are in the minority - not the majority.

However this has been done to death and the swear filter is obviously here to stay. James loves it. It's his baby. Source of pride and joy. Reneging on it at this point after how much he has defended it in the past would be lunacy I can only compare to offering blowjobs to greyhounds.

There shouldn't be a filter at all, they're just words.

But yeah, sh*t is the most stupid one of the lot. Quite frankly if you're offended by the word 'sh*t', you can eat my sh*t.

Swear filter broken - yet no warning?

Posters are breaking the swear filter left, right and centre. Yet it's only a few of us that have ever been infracted for it.

But yet we're all treated the same. Cough, cough.

I wouldn't have the swear filter in place, but with the younger members, I can understand that.

we need the swear filter and we need some more bans some members need to realise there are rules for a reason.

You can't see if other members get infractions, though. All I can say is I get sick of seeing constant asteriks and people having to work their way around saying words without fear of a ban or whatever.

I agree with the swear filter. I don't mind the odd swear word, but i don't like to read posts full of it.

If nothing else the actual filters need to be sorted out on the three main words - sh*t, fuc* and *****. Because when they're all filtered, they all look the same - ****, ****, ****.

And that doesn't make any sense whatsoever when you're trying to read a post, no one knows which word you used. Surely the words should be filtered as I demonstrated in the first line? That'd make more sense...

How does the filter help with that? You already know the astrexis are swears so it makes no difference. And it's not as if members who don't usually swear will suddenly take it up if it's err ... legalised.

So uhh ... yeah.
