[QUOTE="This Ain't Chopped Liver, post: 3276662, member: 74137"] Just my quick thought without much thought— I guess the point of filters is that profanity is not allowed here but the filters then make it permissible, even encourage it. Is that logical? We mostly know what the curse word is anyway, so it is still profanity, it just isn’t in print, but the filter word that represents it is. Is that logical? Maybe the filters are a form of humor, though they don’t humor me but instead are an intentional “typo” to interpret through to the intended curse word. So we get the filter and yet know the profanity it is “masking.” A mask where everyone knows what is behind the mask—the curse word is still there. Maybe if you want a no-profanity forum, state that policy and then suspend people whom curse. That would likely rid most of the profanity. The filters don’t and instead permit it and likely encourage it, creating more “masked” profanity; so an example of policy that maybe backfires. I use the words, sheesh and jeepers, and that is enough to express frustration without having to curse, but that probably tires on people too.:p scheiss this [ deposit from a bull that looks like Art Briles ]— we know the profanity that this is and filters ain’t changing that reality.
