Subject: Why is '-blam!-' censored, but 'whore' isn't?

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Because Bungie love whores. Why else?

I'd like to think of the word "whore" as a scientific term.

There are no inherently bad words anyways, there is only bad usage of words.

Maybe for the same reason you can't swear in the Forums?

The profanity filter was basically a refurbished of a list of "vulgar" words from another source; it's intentions not designed to capture, lock-up, and quarantine every profane word in existence. So while some may see one word deserving to be replaced by another, it's not a matter of utmost priorities.

I mean, we aren't some profanolics anonymous site where all profane words - in any context - are strictly prohibited...are we?


Nice try, but 'whore' is a very common profane word. You would think they would think of that when adding words to the list.

Never seen it said on the mains (excluding this thread, obviously). But that's not to say that it's never been said; it just seems that it is extremely rarely used to flame-bait individuals. Although there may be a re-vamp to the filter some time in the future, just don't take the word "ass" away :P

It is because you aren't mature enough to have the discretion of when and where to post Pu5sy and whore which you have already proven by asking through creating a pointless thread...please read the rules and regulations you agreed to uphold when you crafted your account please. Thank you and enjoy your stay on b.net

This has been PSA broadcasted by Foman's mom please note the exits signs and in the event of a frog blast in a vent core, we ask that you follow the safety procedure and exit protocols to the letter.

Why is '-blam!-' censored, but 'whore' isn't?

And by -blam!- I mean a cat.. or I could mean the -blam!-cat dolls. Regardless, if I was one to get offended by someone's comment on the Internet, I'd think that 'whore' would have more of an impact than '-blam!-'.

Any word that can be used in even just a tiny bit of an offensive way is censored on 343i's website.

You can't be serious. I honestly don't care if you think the thread is pointless; no one asked for your opinion. Oh, and bypassing the filter isn't allowed... Maybe you should be the one reading the rules and regulations.

As for the question at hand, it's completely serious. I don't see how you came to the conclusion that I'm not mature enough by the content of the OP.

There have been many threads made similar to this. From Achronos:Posted by: Achronos
The profanity filter isn't meant to catch every insulting or profane word or variations thereof.
So.... ass.
While that's understandable, you'd think something as 'well known' as "whore" or "slut" would be censored rather than something as mild as "-blam!-".

At the very least you can use the word "-blam!-" in a sentence without being 'insulting' or 'degrading'. I'm pretty sure you'd have a hard time using "whore" or "slut" in the same situation.

I <3 you too Bungie

This has degenerated to a "-blam!- slut whore tits" thread like the ones that have come before.

Personally, I rarely find people abusing questionable words to flame, and if they do, generally they're banned pretty quickly.
