I try not to post any words that aren't caught by the filter.

There is a profanity filter, but I don't see what's so -blam!- wrong with cursing. I guess it's to protect the younger members ears.

I'm 41 and actually appreciate the filter.

Maturity is not a mandate to curse, it means that we can control ourselves and decide when it is not appropriate to curse.


I don't see it as a mandate either. And believe me, I don't mind the profanity filter - it helps control some of the more...."vocal" members.

Sometimes the words that are filtered seem a bit odd to me. I tried to use a phrase that is fairly common, and in no way obscene or profane, but one of the words was filtered out.

Phrase when posted:

b-blam!- with excitement

You guys know what it is, right? I'm not exactly sure what the filtered portion is supposed to mean that is so bad it would be filtered, but I don't think I want to know either...

But all in all, the filter catches everything that people don't need to see. I'd rather have it there filtering the occasional word that is part of another proper English word than not there at all.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Apparently not. I was thinking bubbling, then bursting, then buzzing, but all those got through.

Bustling. Nope.

I think I'm on the wrong path here.

Yeah I had to think about it but I got it... B-blam!- with excitement? Weird... =P

I used to have trouble writing Sussex or Essex etc. into search engines when I was at school, as there was a filter to prevent searching of 'forbidden' words.

Once you visit some of the threads in Zanzibar you will appreciate it. I could give you an example of what they are like but -blam!- would be the most used word in my post then.

Zanzibar isn't that bad. Ok, maybe that was a bit of an understatment.
You have to show the kiddies over in Zanzi how you play, show them how to post properly or what not.
...

Ok, its a lost cause. Zanzibar am flame big.
The "blam" filter is good, and I don't think its at all too strict our slack. Its juuusst right.

Ah my friend, there is no need for cursing on this site. Every member that registers or visits this strange place has been put under the Soul's curse which was a result of an argument between the soul and the webmaster. Yet surely there were signs. You did not see an omen? Alas, for us, it is too late.

When is bungie going to blam out "*insert term that the filter does not catch*"?

90% of English swear-words aren't blammed out. I won't list them, but I think that some Mods think they're not as bad as they actually are.

put it this way...if you think it's a bad word and doesn't get filtered than don't use it...english language has plenty of other words that can be used...if you can't think of one use this for help.

oh please for the sake of humanity...please do something about the guy below!!

Hmmmm....
Let's see here....
You can't say -blam!-, -blam!-, -blam!-, -blam!-, -blam!-, mother-blam!-, -blam!-, -blam!-, -blam!-, -blam!-, -blam!-, or -blam!-.

I hope that helps.

This post is a curse, you're a SAD bastard, how about that?!

Anything much past "damn" doesn't really need to be said.
