I care about cursing.

This isn't a science forum.

The profanity filter is from an old microsoft list.

What mods do or do not do is not really my concern as long as I follow the rules.

The Flood would be 100x worse if there was no -blam!- filter.

What does "this isn't a science forum" mean, anyway? What does that have to do with this?

What the -blam!- is this?!

  • 07.30.2012 12:20 PM PDT

Breaking barriers.

It's really not a big deal, but I do feel some words shouldn't be sensored. the majority are rightfully sensored.

OP said we can't talk about anatomy because of certain blocked words.

We aren't here to ruin your experience (Well Qbix is).

Can mods see through the filter? IE: If I was to actually write a curse word, would the mods see it as -blam!- or as the actual word?

Stupidity, when sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic

Have you been to an uncensored forum lately? It sucks.

I don't think the filter should be taken away. We wouldn't gain anything constructive if it was taken out.

No, ExcessiveFaun6 is not my real gamertag.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cortana: The message just repeats. "Regret, Regret, Regret."
Miranda: Any idea what it means?
Sgt. Johnson: Dear Humanity... we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!
Marines: Hoo-rah!

Honestly, I wouldn't mind having "f-bomb tokens".

You get two per week (non-accumulating), where you can tell someone to go f*** themselves. Sometimes the situation just plain merits it.

And science forums are the only places to talk about anatomy?

The fact that "this isn't a science forum" is not relevant to anything. It's not a valid argument as to why the profanity filter should stay the way it is.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

Something that bothers me is that we're able to talk about certain topics even if their name is blocked by the profanity filter. It's strange.

I like to trim my hedges.
Lol what?
I spent the afternoon t-blam!- my hedges. I find that t-blam!- is a better way to keep my beard neat and tidy. I prefer t-blam!- over waxing or shaving.

Gamers don't die, they just go offline.

"...and the fanboys will unite to slay the Call of Duty threat for the greater good of gaming."

I think the profanity filter should be scrapped, its not like swearing actually hurts.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Do many people use -blam!- in every sentence, much less a wall? No, they don't Which makes it pointless to block the word.

On a serious note, Bungie cares about cursing and honestly, I don't want to see a wall of f-bombs...it's really distasteful.

They'd use the words more if they weren't blocked. Did that honestly not occur to you?

Its not like its hurting you to keep it on.

I have always liked Bungie for their restraint, and my opinion of them would change for the worse if they gave into your salty tongues. All I can say is, "CRY SOME MOAR!"

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”
- Dawes, A little bit of everything

I don't -blam!- care. I do not see it inhibiting discussion.

Cursing Is acceptable in spoken word especially in the moment because of the emotions involved.

Cursing in text is both pointless and stupid
