2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

If you bypass words like g@y or h0mos3xual or any other filtered words WITHOUT using them offensively, it's okay right? I've heard the only reason they are censored because people would use the words offensively. But if it's not offensive, it's okay to bypass, right? Just wondering.

Why the hell are you looking at this? Get out.

And no group invites, you jerk. I'm not interested.

No. They're censored because it makes posts less retarded. If you bypass that, you're retarded. :D

Well, some times you need to. If you've ever been to a discussion group you'd know why. That's why I hope there's some kind of way for groups to toggle the filter.

I'm referring to the main forums.

I don't know. If you are using them legitimately and bypass small, inoffensive words to convey a valid point, I can see the purpose of it - but if we find you doing something against the rules in another way, God knows we will exploit you to increase the ban time ;)

He bypassed the filter! Make it two weeks... damn sleaze.

I have been in a few situations where it was necessary to the discussion, it happens alot with the word secksual, but I wouldn't unless it was ABSOLUTELY vital to the discussion. However some moderators might disagree with me, so don't take my word as final.

I enforce that rule in context. If a user is blatantly attempting to use a profane word in order to simply post a profane word, or to insult someone/something, I'll call them on it. If it was used in a more appropriate context, as you seem to want to use it in, I'll be a bit more lenient. That's to say, some of the words that have a harmless meaning as well as a bad meaning, I'll let go if its the innocuous version. Just don't use it in excess, or I'll consider punishing you for it. That's just me though. All the mods have their own preferences as to what is deserving of punishment and what is not.

You should probably avoid using them all together. That way, there won't be any ambiguity as to whether or not you can get away with it. As you noted, there is a reason as to why they're censored after all. Play it safe, and don't use them. It is a bannable offense after all.

For your saftey from banning, I would suggest you not use them. It only takes one mod thinking it is inappropriate for you to get banned.

As an addendum to this, if you are looking to use these words in the context of a serious conversation, there are many ways to get around using the actual words that might be offensive and yet will still have people know what you are talking about. For example, "persons who date members of their same gender," or "WWII German Soldier." And so on.

Obviously these kinds of paraphrases sound ridiculous in an insult, but make perfect sense in the context of a serious conversation; which, of course, makes it perfectly reasonable (and safer!) to use them in place of bypassing the blam filter.

Merit speaks for itself. The mods don't need to be consulted every time you want to do something slightly questionable.
Use your common sense. Beyond that, post how you want. If you get called on it, do your time. Live and learn. What's more important is that you learn to speak, and think, for yourself.

Yeah I usually don't but someone in a thread I was in insisted that bypassing these words would get you blacklisted immediately. I did this to sort of prove him wrong.

You'd think if they're "-blam!-"ed, they would be offensive and shouldn't even be used on this forum. And they are offensive nonetheless.
The word g@y isn't offensive unless you MAKE it offensive.
