I disagree completely with censoring words. This is a mature forum, anyone under the age of 17 (including myself) should not be here, anyone under the age of 17 who is here is acquainted with Halo, the violence, the mild profanity. Anyone from 5th grade on up use the words anyway.
Don't make generalizations like that.
I know plenty of people, myself included, who stay away from those words and don't really prefer to hear them (which really makes me wonder why I ever enter #moap).
Did I hurt your feelings? I'm sorry, I didn't know my generalization was that offensive.
Did I mention sarcasm is great and I really don't care if a small minority doesn't like swearing or hearing the words? I, myself, find swearing offensive, but it can be damn useful in proving a point, if used in moderation.
Did I sound like I was offended? I'm sorry, I didn't know that my words made me seem like I was offended.
Heh.
But still. you've got to take everyone into account in a scenario like this. Not just the majority. Plus, the filter isn't really that strict. On that subject, I don't think that the word bastard really needs to be filtered.
A generalization, in this instance, is harmless. Using it doesn't hurt anyone, nor does it degrade anyone.
I think the filter is a little too strict, however I'm happy we're able to say "sex" now. Now, anything referring to the opposite of hetero-blam!-ity is still filtered, which is imbecilic. I just think it's a waste of programming. We have moderators for things like this, if they get out of hand.
