Subject: Why there should be no profanity filter

"Why concentrate on the negative when we can speak of the positive?"

Halo 2 was the best Halo game

I don't mind the filter on public forums, but there should be an option for it to be turned on/off.

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.

Clearly, because a word is now not blocked, means people would use it more. The profanity filter is ludicrously easy to avoid, yet not many people go around it or choose to use the words at all (having them show up as -blam!-), in the amount of traffic the site gets.

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?

A little bit of sausage, a little bit of hot sauce, a whole lot of awesome. Have a question? Ask me!

If you have nothing to say but curse words you probably don't have anything valuable to say anyways.

Butter my ass, turn around, spread open my butt cheeks, and say "Right here mutha-blam!-a!!"

To be honest I would probably use the words if they were not blocked. But I do my best to reword my sentences so that I don't have to need them. Sometimes it's just necessary to express certain emotions though. However, the -Blam- works well to emphasize the feeling.
