Yeah, a-4-year-old's correct.

I don't think I'm so much against a swear filter itself as much as that everyone just breaks it all the time. If the board is to keep this, I should not be able to read a staff member post "Sh!t" as I have. The staff should abide by it since they are in a respectable position and it wouldn't be encouraging at all to general community behavior and manner to watch them break their own rules.
In short, all the staff should be like The Geologist. ;D

So they should all be boring nerds? Oh wait, they already are! Ba-Zing.
Anyway, do to COPPA, I really don't see why we need a filter, there isn't that much of a reason.

"Click it I fecking dare you." I just read this in the News.

Apparently most of the staff doesn't even care about curbing vulgarity (even promoting it, as shown by the "Floppy Disks" title edit, by none other than Amblin himself), so the filth here might as well be unleashed to its full extent—a swear filter makes it not just hypocritical, but very shallowly superficial at that when seen in the light of actions like these. Indecision is not far from being pathetic, even in comparison to the blatantly wrong choice.

FLAB. Take it off or whip the staff. (And this is an old staff, so I don't think that can be done very easily or quickly; online communities such as these ultimately have a lifespan, after all.)

Take away my right to cuss? Fuck that! ^˘.

If I do it in an unreadable font, will that calm all your flower-gentle souls?

I would have to agree with Keron.  Swear filter is useless. 

And I thought Amblin was one of the last moderators who was straight.  I guess everyone on this forum is in some way fucked.

The good ones are feck, because it is (or at least looks like) a reference to Father Ted, and bastard, since it's kinda clever.

Heh. Therefore trash it!
It wouldn't surprise me if FLAB's not even been reading this thread, though. There's been no response.

I completely agree, man. We can talk about all kinds of inappropriate sexual crap, with clear and colorful imagery but can't even say "shinyfoo"? Punishing the mods wouldn't do crap, since most of them have been here long enough to consider themselves invincible gods.

Take it off!

PM-ing FLAB doesn't really speed it up.
