Why the fucκ are curses censored on shıtting internet forums?

Hairy Japanese BASTARDS!

It's very easy to bypass swear filters and write words like cunt .

Why are people offended by a few letters in a specific arrangement?

Most people can tell what the curse is by context and the number of asterisks that replace the letters.

Helps maintain some decorum about the place I'm sure. If swear filters weren't a thing some threads would become pretty ugly pretty fast. If you can't swear you are encouraged to be a little more intellectual in your posts. I use that term loosely.

AFAIK you can post bastard, prick, ass but not hairy bollocks or whores drawers.

Work filters, possibly. Swear words could well be blocked by company servers, and asterixes are a way around that.

Well **** me Freddy, why do you have to **** all over the ****.

At times, I feel like it's excessively prudish and a bit old fashioned.

But then I think about the general level of reasoning, articulacy and the emotional stability of a large proportion of the user base and I shudder to think about the quality of the contributions on parts of the site in a post-swear filter world. Somewhere like AH or CA would surely become, for want of a better description, shitshows. And they are bad enough as it is.

I read the title and immediately assumed you were annoyed that sorcery and witchcraft were not allowed on forums. Shame really that would have been a much more interesting thread.

Fup is where it's at. Not as course as the real thing, not as silly as some asterisks.

To paraphrase Billy Connolly, if you tell someone to f*ck off in the correct fashion they don't need to speak English to understand what you mean.

There's nothing wrong, I took it to be a peon of praise couched in the slang language of saying 'deadly' and 'sick' while meaning more or less the opposite.

Or it could just be looking for a reaction.

Or (inevitably) just another Fr. Ted reference.

It amazes me that people would purposely write a swear word.

I can understand a reaction when talking but to write it!!

Here's the benchmark to go by:

The percentage of posts reported on this thread.

If over 20% of posts are reported on this thread, the mods know their censorship policy is being effective.

Yes, the trick is to tell someone to **** off gracefully, and with tact. I was brought up with great ****ing manners, and it's rubbed off on my ****ing kids, too.

A sign that you've created a Cool thread is the fact that the thread hasn't been closed by a mod.

But the real badge of honour: hasn't happened to me in 11 years on boards :.c

This whole thread really merits Jimmy Carr's disclaimer, before the reader even sees the title:

"I suppose I'd better warn you that in my act there is a certain amount of bad language. I'm not talking about split infinitives. There will be some swearing and there is some material of a sexual nature. So, if you are offended by rude or crude material, for heaven's sake, don't be a canute about it."

Fuck cunt shit.

Forget about curse words, we have a rich tradition of proper curses:
-May you find the bees but not the honey
-May you be afflicted with the itch but have no nails to scratch with
-May you marry a woman that blows wind like a stone from a sling
-Etc.

Although my favourite is an Arab one:
-May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.
