'fraid so. SMF doesn't let you choose who can't enable/disable it. It applies to everyone.

Wait, what?

I thought that was more slanted towards people using tricks to get around the swear filter, thus making people who wish not to be, subject to 'vulgar' words. Those who didn't give a rats ass about it turned off the check box in their account settings.

The rules aren't very clear on that matter, but I think most people would prefer to have the option...

Can swear filters at least be enforced to people of age 16 and under? Though I don't exactly know how you're going to have to go around pulling that off.

One of the main reasons behind the swear filter is us using it to block and filter out the names of hacking sites and other things which the common people have no business reading. Surely you people'll find that understandable.

Then what if there are legitimate links that so happen to have a vulgarity in the link? The link will no longer work and will cause problems. Example, I have a link that is www.<vulgarity>.com, but due to the swear filter, it'd just make it www.<stars>.com.

I mean, I don't see a need to block out certain words. The only things that do need blocking are just the sites you're referring to.

If you must use a web url with profanity in it, dodge the swear filter for exclusively that purpose (feel free to quote me on this ;)), provided the site you're linking us to contains no bad content.

Because it was never intended to be removed; EH and FLAB just didn't have time to find where the option was to permanently enable it when we switched over to SMF 2.0. I, on the other hand, have virtually unlimited free time for minor and mundane things such as this.

f u c k. Hmmm, what swear filter?

Personaly I like the idea of it being enable for younger members, say like under 14's or w/e. Or being able to be disabled in the profile box thingy(haven't ever looked for it so I dunno if its there already).

How about everybody grows a pair and stops being so offended by expletives.

That wouldn't work since pretty much everyone under 21 lies about their age on the Internet.

And the option to disable the filter is not in your profile.

Besides, COPPA or whatever.

Because little Timmy can shoot people, cut their head off, saw their bodies into dozens of tiny pieces, shower himself in the blood of his enemies, and blast apart hundreds of people, but if he hears an F word he might shoot up a school.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard today.

By far.

Man what the fuck, -_- swear filter rule should be discussed before determining you know jrgp. Let's take a vote and reason why (although the reasons are probably very obvious).

And seriously, who gives about vote count? It just means that either you're a great supporter of soldat or simply no life and adding worthless posts to make new comers take them seriously.

Get over it.

Do you need to swear to feel like a tough guy?

What next! Bashing your wife, and saying she made you do it!
