Subject: Should private groups be able to customize their profanity filter?

Should a private group be able to pick and choose what they feel should be censored? I mean it is kind of like their own little slice of the site. But their power doesn't supersede Bungie's and by customizing their profanity filter it may be a violation of the Terms of Use.

So, what are your thoughts on this?

Profanity is a good way of expressing intense emotion. Unless you overuse it.

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

I certainly like the notion of adding to the profanity filter and changing what exactly each word turns into. I don't think I would have any gripes if they still kept their [public boards]'s profanity filter active though.

I certainly see the appeal.

Unless you expand your vocabulary without using profane words.

I can use a plethora of words to express disdain but sometimes noting gets the point across quite like profanity. Besides there are several words that aren't profanity that are censored.

However absolutely unnecessary.
I agree; expand your vocabulary and none will be needed however if you're trying to set up a comedy club, it's hard to not have profanity without using ridiculous replacement words.

Why do you have to edit a language filter? Cleverly made sarcastic answers are way more fun to read.

groups should not have customizable profanity filters. this site needs to remain polite enough for a home or work environment. I don't want to go into my privates groups and find the threads filled with profanity.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

I think for most groups this could work, but there's a small handful where this would be a terrible idea (probably more).
Its like giving kids a sword to play with, people are going to get hurt, so the best thing to do is just not give anyone a sword.

I don't see the harm in letting people use these words in the comfort of their own groups.

If you're on my side. Don't reply with crap like this. Otherwise, give me a reason why the groups I administer should have to follow Bungie's list of words that are considered taboo when I don't condemn those words at all whatsoever.

So if Bungie decides to allow private groups to customize the filter. Would you agree with their decision?

Yes.

But they don't currently allow that. So you don't think private groups should be allowed to customize the filter as of now?
