    everyone still bypasses the swear filter somehow or other. i don't think anyone has gotten into serious trouble for doing so either.

    bastard is fairly frowned upon here.

    I got an infraction recently for calling Liverpool fans "Scouse bastards" in a drunken rant before the Manchester United v Liverpool match.

    Makes me wonder why it's not filtered...

    I thought this was going to be an interesting discussion on the evolution of language, etymology, and perceived/agreed meaning. But it isn't.

    It just doesn't work on forums IMO. Any of the "bad" words take on much different meanings in real life and the sound of them is part of the appeal. They don't help convey much meaning online.

    I don't think that's a sign "bastard" is frowned upon, you're just not supposed to abuse fans in the soccer forum, no matter what word(s) you use, no?

    I got banned from AH once all right for saying "cunts" which I thought ridiculous. The word is used non stop on AH.

    Does anybody actually self-impose a swearing filter? By which I mean, * out letters to intentionally obscure the word?

    I do in the Ladies Lounge, as I like to be chivalrous.

    And by that, I don't just mean I like Chivers Jelly.

    If you hold F5 while typing your chosen swear word the filter gets confused, and you can swear as much as you fuckin like then.

    People don't swear much on boards because it would be about as irritating to read as listening to someone talking who swears wayyyyy too much.
