What exactly are you asking? You're overdoing it with the wall of text.

People might come to their senses. That seems like a perfectly logical explanation to me.

Basically I have multiple questions: One is why the users of B.Net think its right/fair that Bungie censors the name of what is really an entire group/culture/population of people just because some people want to use it as an insult, when really, it makes no sense being used in that manner anyway.
There are a lot of words that don't make sense to be used in a derogatory way, but they do get used. The word in question was used a lot by the members of this community in an insulting way prior to it being censored.

The same with -blam!-, -blam!-, -blam!-, -blam!- and -blam!-.

Also, why, Bungie censors that word, which at face value and by legal definition is not meant to be used as an insult at all, yet they don't censor of words that are intended to be used as insults, such as; ass, dick, or -blam!-."Legal definitions" don't hold any weight on a website run by a personal business. I hate to say it, but Bungie can do and censor whatever the -blam!- they want to on their website.

And ass and Dick are not "intended" to be insults either; one is an animal and the other is a name (your other example is obviously not a good example, since it did get censored).

I also had questions regarding Halo: CEA, however nobody has yet to address those.Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe. While our Halo-related forums and stats remain available, be advised that "official" answers and support about the Halo Universe (past, present, or future) are not.

Key

Your threads are getting locked for a reason. I uldnt be surprised if you go a ban after this one, dude. Even if you disagree with the cops, you can't keep committing crimes right after you're cited and not expect to go to jail.

My point still stands fromthe other two or three versions of this, it's a default density list that doesn't need edition for something this utterly insignificant.

Which is unfortunate, but still what about the other words that are used alot as insults but aren't censored.
Also, I wonder what those -blam!-'s were.

"Legal definitions" don't hold any weight on a website run by a personal business. I hate to say it, but Bungie can do and censor whatever the -blam!- they want to on their website.

Unfortunately you are correct on this part. However, the G word is also a name or at least sometimes part of a name.
By legal definition, 'Ass' and 'Dick' can/are used as insults:
Ass: "A stupid, foolish, or stubborn person."
Dick: "Usually vulgar: -blam!-"

So, these words which can/are legally defined as insults and are used as such should be banned just the same as the G word which is not an insult, yet, obviously, they are not censored.

(I checked these definitions on multiple sources, Dictionary.com, Merriam-Webster, etc. Please feel free to look em up yourself as well)

It's been said that the profanity filter was taken from what Microsoft blocks out. It is highly unlikely that this list will change anytime soon.

Achronos has already stated that the list from Microsoft was more of a recomendation.

He also said that prior to enacting the filter he handpicked what words to keep, remove and add. He also said it would take very little effort to edit the filter, he just doesn't want to. Tsk, tsk.

P.S. I'm pretty sure this specific quote from him is in one of the other threads, but I can't look for it this minute. I have to go for a while. L8er Ya'll!

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

This is the third time you've posted this thread (after having it locked twice). It was clearly demonstrated that your thoughts on the matter are as uniformed as they are irrelevant. You're not looking for a discussion you're looking for people to post the same idiotic +1 that you continue to use.

ATTENTION MODERATORS. My latest ban (14-day ban from Qbix89) is not legitimate, take a look for yourself. Please review this before considering me a "repeat offender". Thank you.

I agree with what you stand for.

Refusing to stop yelling until you get what you want? Spamming? Damaging a legitimate cause due to the sole fact that you continue to exist?

(Is it all three or a mix and match?)
