Dont know about the vapor server, but #amiga at amiganet sure has its
own "standard" which is way more liberal than most channels I've been
on, funny thing is that noone seems to be bothered, might be an
idea to put up a "parential warning, explicit lyrics" in the topic
every now and then, hehe :)

A filter script that exchanges ruse words with less rude words might
be an idea? :)
Myself I find profanity intersting, as it various from language to language,
english seems to be locked with the sexual references, while noone is
disturbed by a "Oh my God", even though the bible explicit tells you not
to abuse the name of the bearded dude. Germans, as the farmers they are, like
to talk about the weather and their pets, so they scream "Donnerwetter" and
call each other "schwein" and so forth, the french thinks "shit" (merde) is
about as bad you can go and here in norway we curse by using satan, hell and
abveriations over that. For some languages profanity is more natural and
accepted than others... oh well.. a filtering script is a nice idea anyhow :)
