Mods do warn/ban users that bypass the filter.

I'm a college dropout.

Half the time it's not really an issue. There's a lot of words that are censored that really shouldn't be, and I don't think the mods really want to be nit-picky when they have more important things to clean up. If there's specific incidents where it's out of hand, then use the report button or message a moderator and they'll deal with it eventually.

It's not really a big deal. People who bypass the filter know exactly what they're doing, and disallowing certain characters won't stop them from finding other loopholes.

I just got off a ban for censoring my own swear word, which was considered 'bypassing the profanity filter.' Please, do not be ignorant. I feel that some Mods ignore it, but Duardo is rather strict about it.

Just like the day members found out how to post images in posts...
Oh God that was an awful day.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

It's no secret how it's done. Mods see it daily, and I'll be Achronos is quite familiar with it. So... why is nothing done? Why can't people just be responsible and not use invisible characters for goodness sake?

Seriously, if people were more mature and responsible about their actions there'd be no need to limit anything at all on this site. No need for filters in the first place, no need for most of the rules that are simply based on commonsense. But of course, this cannot be expected of people... especially on the internet.

Edit: Was that too harsh?

And given some of the people on these boards, I can only imagine the horror...I'm glad I wasn't here for that hell.

I came, I saw, I conquered. On my quest to become Mythic. So all can be jealous of the amazing blue glow from my title bar. =) ~BlindChild~

people get banned for doing it so they are doing stuff about it

Read the first sentence of this thread. It's not as heavily enforced as some of the other rules, but does it really bother you that much?
