I enjoy the swear filter. Makes for less ******* ******** conversations.

Give me a word that encompasses as many different meanings and emotions as 'feth' and I'll start using that.

No, the only thing that expresses ignorance is blanket statements like the one you just made Redbeard.

BYE

Werd.

Nope, we do our fair share of cursing, our media is just run by Nazis.

Do you have a link for the rules as I couldn't find them on the BBFC site.

Thanks

I don't know where they are on the site.

I knew about them because part of my job is doing age rating submissions for games and videos, so I've been trained up in the procedures.

However, look at the PEGI rules which are similar but a bit stricter.

What exactly is the problem with using fething profanity to make sure that all the donkey-caves out there understand the gak you're trying to peddle. melon-fething nanny software made by a bunch of pussy-ass bitches who can't deal with a little cursing - bunch of witches, if you ask me.

Didn't mean any of that...I just wanted to see what the filter would do.

By the way, apparently "bitches" and having "ass" at the end of a word should be added to the profanity filter.

Why would you want to remove badass from the Dakka vocabulary?

also, I can't type a certain synonym for "snicker" because it contains "the N-word" (which is a stupid name, IMHO).

We only do full word replacements, not sub word replacements so you can still snigger in Scunthorpe.

Can I type pissed ?

Appearantly I can.

Lets see how many of George Carlin's words they replace. MOD: PLEASE DON'T WARN ME ABOUT THIS!

I'll be posting one at a time.

I agree. The United States government has been going downhill since Kennedy and it has taken the steepest dive since Obama got elected. (I'll leave my complaints out of this post.)

THERE SHOULD BE NO MEDIA CENSORSHIP!!!! The person should be responsible enough to know what they are watching reading or hearing.

Also: If swearing makes you British then I am Irish. I fething swear like an old salt and I can out drink most of my friends. Plus I am a Macgregor and a Menominee Indian so I can fight better than most people, so I dont think any thing should be fething censored as stated above.

Macgregor sounds like a Scot name. I'm a Cameron.

I wonder how Father Jack would go on Dakka... FECK! ARSE! DRINK!

Edit: Awesome

What kind of swearword is (word that I should have just googled instead)

Seriously, I don't know it.
