The profanity list hasn't changed in a long time because doing so requires a code update and test resources, and we prefer to spend those resources elsewhere.

Oh, you mean on Reach?

Haha, ok.

Well that's not very nice.

To everyone in this thread, refer to this thread for the real reason for this.

(or at least, a more detailed reason)

Mythic members are like people with tattoos. Just as soon as you become a Mythic member, you can kick anyone's ass. It really works.

I guess they must also replace Jew, Black, Mexican, Asian, and mentally handicapped with the word blam.

No, they replace -blam!-, -blam!-, -blam!-, -blam!-, and -blam!-

After preview: I went in order. FYI. They don't replace a derogatory "k-word" or a 6 letter long word for mentally handicapped.

What it boils down to is this is their site and they'll do what they damn well please. You have no rights. Play nice.

That's actually not what it boils down to. They didn't personally add the filter for this word. It simply exists. They just haven't changed it yet. Refer to my link above, I inquired about this issue a while back and Achronos seemed to understand my reasoning, even saying it may be removed in the future.

They haven't yet and that's their decision. When they do, it'll be their decision. And that's all because it's their site. If it never happens, that's their prerogative.

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

This thread is pretty -blam!-, not gonna lie.

You got a response on your second page. I had to repost this thread for weeks and get bans?

Trolololo much? xD

Also, did you not see his post on this thread as well? Thanks for the link anyway.

I saw his response here too yes, I just felt like the answer he gave me seemed a little more specific. Also I think you may have gotten banned because of HOW you explained the error.

When someone calmly points out that there are some contradictions in the word filter, they are far more likely to get a response than someone who indignantly implies that Bungie is full of homophobes and hypocrites, and constantly re-posts the same thread in a desperate grab for attention, when the issue has been raised in the past more coherently. Not to mention that you have your facts wrong; there's at least one homo-blam!- character in the Halo series that I can recall off the top of my head.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Some progress at last. Good work, OP: your persistence paid off.

Persistence? I'd say ignorance and a thick head. The idea was shot down by a majority of users in his last threads, and he still creates a new one.

I seriously doubt Achronos will uncensor the word, however, he may censor other words used to insult users.

Words like I guess they must also replace Jew, Black, Mexican, Asian, and mentally handicapped with the word blam.
are not used frequently as insults on these forums, in fact I don't think they are used frequently as insults on any forum.

Why is this thread open still, there's 7 pages of repeat points made for and against this, mostly against.
Three Pages
Four Pages

Personally, I think OP makes a very good point. The group shouldn't be censored. Users who use it in a hostile way should be. Make it a bannable offense. Oh wait. It already is.


- Respect your fellow members, or at least tolerate them publicly. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated, even if they probably deserve it.


So why censor it?
