I understand this is a topic that probably has been brought up a considerable amount of time on this forum, however the problem is yet to be addressed.

Why can I type words such as sex yet I cannot type -blam!-?
does adding that u,a and l at the end really make it that much worse?
If anything it feels out of place in the modern world that we cannot type out a smexual orientation because it may be offensive.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

What the -blam!- are you talking about?

Straight from Achronos on this.

Most of the words on the profanity filter are there because when it was created, we got a word list from the MSN guys and I removed some of the silly things they were banning. It was a large list, and I missed a few items which creates some weird contradictions (you've probably noticed).
Though the thread applied to another word filtered, the same thing probably applies as to why that word is also filtered.

Why does everyone thing just because it "hasn't been fix'd yet" that it needs to be readressed?

Do you think changing it is really as easy as clicking a button? its not.

Honestly, I hope the filter isn't changed at this point.

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

Maybe the new hawtness will be super hawt and fix the blam filter.

Hawt damn, that would be hawt!

Oh well, this forums filter is a lot more lenient than others. I'm fine with it.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Achronos has said on several occasions that it is in need of an update.
