With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

If I remember correctly, Achronos gets the list from MSN and adjusts as necessary. The only thing I can suggest is taking out a thesaurus and finding synonyms for the words that are censored.
All said and done many times over, hence the sphincter and female dog references. But that's not my point. I can understand why the f-word, s-word, racial slurs, the slang term for "new person," and the attraction between two people of the same sex are blammed, since they're used heavily in flames, and if you censor them, the flames go down because they're not as effective without those words. But the b-word and the word for "uptight?" It's just a waste of time to even bother adding them to the censor list. And yes, the b-word can be used for flames, but most of the time the use of that word carries a jokingly tone, and in this day and age it is rarely used with the intent to truely offend someone.
Now, censoring some of the words for liability and legal issues I can understand, but I doubt "uptight" falls into that catagory. The b-word shouldn't even fall into that catagory.
And please don't mistake my tone. This is just a complaint, laced with some questions and suggestions. I am NOT whining about the fact that I can't say some of the words that I want to say, since I don't use swears that often (or rather, I don't use what I thought were swears that often). I'm not that lazy. I can use different words if I have to. I'm just wondering why some of the more unnecessary words that are in the censor list are even considered bad enough to warrant being censored.
