I think to get this forum a few more members, word filters for swear words should be put in place so people of a younger age can feel "safer" (can't think of the word xD).

Also, where are the board rules? :erm:

Well, you have to be at least 13 to join unless you're under parental consent in which case the parent would decide if the place is safe for their child or not. I can pretty much guarantee you won't gain members so it'll be a 'safe' place. People don't join based on filters.

I suppose you could put up some sort of argument that board rules will help members new to forums but it's equally acceptable to PM members should they break minor rules and teach proper etiquette. Obviously, everyone knows not to post around going "PENIS PENIS PENIS" so it doesn't seem to be that big of a problem.

Of course, there could be other reasoning that Sith has that I didn't use.

I see no problem with swearing and I think people should be allowed to swear without being censored. So I'm against this 'motion'.

I don't see a problem, if you think we swear too much, you should take a look at the obnoxious community of MER. I haven't seen many swears from anyone here, though.

If a Staff Member sees something inappropriate, such as vulgar language or illegal content, it will be removed. I'm not really sure that we need filters, as Staff will simply remove it accordingly.

Not really.

EDIT: To elaborate simply, we don't have to filter ourselves for your personal beliefs.

If someone swears unnecessarily or frequently they will be dealt with.

That's because when we see it, it's removed. :)

I don't understand. If someone swears, it'll basically be edited out?

It depends on the swear word used, and in what context. In most cases though, yes.
