I think its good that people are sensoring swearing. My twelve year old brother looks and reads threads a while ago i was asked by him what beslubbering meant and i told him it was the senor blocking people from swearing. So keep up the good work.

Actually, it means to slobber all over something.  The fact it's the censor just makes it more fun.

I'd like to point out that bastard (and yes I know it has connotations to do with wedlock, but amphetamine parrot also has connotations to do with faecial excretement) is not filtered and perhaps should be.

This is actually being debated at the moment amongst the Staff and the swear filter is probably going to recieve an overhaul with words being added/taken away and 'beslubber' and the like being changed to something else (though still of course random :P).

I agree with bastard, but I don't think amphetamine parrot is serious enough to be filtered, kinda like damn.

Maybe the regiment consists entirely of Ninjas who were orphaned by Dark Eldar slavers. With a score to settle, these black clad night assassins fight against their hated parent-murderers with laser shurikens and untold ferocity.

Damn is actually filtered (kind of) at the moment (though you need to prefix it with 'God'), which was one of the things that prompted the debate.

It's hardly a bad word. It was but certainly isn't any more. "Bloody" used to be censored on television. Times change.

You have to love the smell of science in the morning. It smells of learning.... or perhaps a gas leak.

I couldn't understand one of Rasmus' posts, because the censor put 'lycra clad pixie' everywhere, when i put the censor off, it seemed that the word which was censored was freshwater  ???

Are you sure it wasn't 'saloutrageously sexy lycra-clad pixieer', which gives you: saloutrageously sexy lycra-clad pixieer.

Everyone is just better off listening, yeah I know at times those words may seem needed, but they aren't, plus that's why there's the filter!  ::)

Protip: the filter can be turned off anyway.  Go to USER CP --> Look & Layout Options --> Check the box: "Leave words uncensored."
