Subject: To those who self-censor....

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

I mean the people who, instead of typing in a swear (or forbiden) word and letting it revert to -blam!-, choose to type something like "blam" or "BLAM!" etc etc.

Whats the point? It seems like more work for you, and your meaning is not clearer. It's totally unneccessary, and I literally can find no redeeming feature that makes it a worthwhile action, unless you dont like to type swear words, in which case, idk why you'd need the censor in the first place.

So please explain to me your reasoning, if you will.

For a bit of added discussion, how do people feel about the censor? Is it enough? Or does it not cover enough words in your opinion?

I am the God Emprah of Mankind.

Deal with it.

Because it means we're better than you, you -Blam!-.

Made it into the update!

I type what I think. I think in terms of -Blam!- not <insert swear word>.

"Life is constantly fleeting from your grasp even from the very day it's bestowed upon you, but the shadow of death is always there, waiting for its chance to take you away."

"Even though many may not think so, ignorance and innocence are one and the same. The only difference is that one sounds nicer."

"I once knew a man who spent his entire life contemplating where we go after our death....it's a shame he realized it a second too late to tell anyone."

I will self-censor all that I f**king want you a**hole.

Really? Has B.net impacted your behaviour that much?

Check out my deviantART page

Some things I like:
Video Games
Anime
Art

I never cuss in public, so I'm not used to phrasing my sentences with cuss words.

In the past I have typed in -blam!- by hand, but sometimes I don't. I only use cuss words to add emphasis when other ways of writing a sentence don't feel right.

It may be that, but mainly I don't swear. I'll swear in my head sometimes, but I've actually said "-Blam!-" outloud before.

Not swearing much aside, thats really bad man. I would suggest a break from B.net for a while if it's actually changed your behaviour.

Because now we know what he said. Instead of:

I will self-censor all that I -blam!- want you -blam!-.

Do explain. The meaning of your message doesn't change, so why the extra effort?

  • 12.29.2012 10:31 PM PDT

It always makes me laugh when people type -blam!- in a way that makes it obvious they typed it. I don't understand it either.

  • 12.29.2012 10:31 PM PDT

I'm sometimes tempted to type "-Blaming!-" just so you know what word it is but it's too much work and it looks stupid.

  • 12.29.2012 10:31 PM PDT

Cause even typing a simple word terrifies them. Pathetic really.

Except I wasnt talking about what he did, and I believe he is technically by-passing the filter, which is against the rules.

Interestingly enough, "because -blam!- you" isnt actually a reason.

Put a space between the -blam!- and ing.
Problem -blam!- ing solved.

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

Because -blam!- looks ugly. Better have it display as I see fit.

You don't get it?

If I swear, then I'm a -Blam!-hole. If I don't, I'm not a -Blam!-hole.

It's not -Blam!-ing rocket science.
