    The censor is now connected to the Rep system so that some people can say certain words and others cant.

    Waterford was just a test, the proper system will be coming online soon.

    So what words are us commoners going to be banned from using then?

    You know i've always thought rep systems informally enforce censorship and a kind of class division among users but wow you guys are really running with the idea! :)

    Just curious, which admin decided Waterford would be appropriate?

    Seriously though, how would a system like that work?

    If you got bad rep would that mean that a word to do with whatever you posted about that lead to your bad rep would be censored...



    Are you sure you're not just seeing how you can mess with us plebians from your most high and mighty admin towers?
