And your reasons? Your reasons for why we should have the swear word filter kept intact even if it is against the wishes of the majority of the regular members? Oh, your young son views the place from time to time. And apparently, this forum has thousands of members. Sure, this forum has thousands of members, but that's a null argument - and a cheap one at that. Most of those people sign up and never post.

How many view and post here on a consistent basis? And is 28 to 2 not a fair representation of that? And is the main subject matter of the forum, the one you mentioned all those extra members will be coming in for next month lest we forget, not an adult television show choc full of curses?

How long exactly would you like this poll left up for? Just how one sided a poll do you need to let this become to accept that the vast majority of members do not want a swear word filter? And what about other arguments put foward. Is your son unable to tell that four stars in a row probably represents a curse word?

As your views are so biased - can't take them seriously either! You would say black was white - just to oppose me - and you know it!

Yes it is an adult show - but the forum is for 13+. Maybe the owners need to decide whether the site should be for 18+ - although how they would police that is anyone's guess. As it is - children under the age of 13 know how to use computers, whether it be at home, round a friends or elsewhere and know how to access the site. Surely it is just easier for everyone - particularly those running the site - to just have a filter! Why do some have such an issue with that?

And not all adults like the use of certain swear words. That doesn't make them prudes, or old fuddy duddies - as you imply! A site that is open to all - has to have certain rules and regulations - and one of them needs to be some restrictions on the language used. If some are incapable of expressing themselves without the use of certain words - then a filter is the only option.
