Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

Why is this? Since the words aren't filtered out, does that mean that it isn't a bannable offense to use such words?You don't get banned just for saying a word, it's all about context. Unless, of course, you bypass the filter to say that word, then the mods don't seem to care about context at all and will ban/warn regardless.
Basically, I can say "dick" without fear of being banned, because in this context it is harmless. But if I decided to call somebody a dick, that would be flaming and I'd probably be banned.
It's also worth noting that if I wanted to use the pseudonym of dick that begins with a 'p' (and is, funnily enough, less offensive), I'd have to bypass the filter. So even if it was in the same context, it could possibly be seen as a bannable offence.
What I'm trying, and failing, to say is that it isn't always the word that gets you in trouble, it's the context and the intent.
At least that's how I see it, anyway.
