Title: why is there so much censorship on this forum
Post by: chyros on Fri, 20 May 2016, 10:11:38
So I was wondering why this forum censors so many words. ****, ****, *****, ****, *******, ***, I mean why the hell is this even necessary?! Oo

Under Profile look and layout you can check a box to leave words uncensored.

Maybe you (or the people who quote you) have the censor filter enabled.

Are they censored? Because I can see them in this post in great definition.

It's a family site, man. Or at least according to imav, one time.



Oh and btw, you can turn off the filter, it's in the settings somewhere. I did.

Can you? I can't see the option to do this at all Oo .

And as for the whole family site thing, what age exactly are we talking here? Surely by the time people hit secondary school they know every word in the book and then some :p . I don't think toddlers are on this site :)) .

I never really understood what people have against swearing anyway. I'd say it's perfectly natural to swear at every goddamn mother****ing piss **** opportunity.
