Hi dark, If there was a total blanket ban on swaring on this list then I really wouldn't care at all.
But nobody in their right mind can sit there and say that crap is worse than hell. That's just stupid. Sorry but it is. I've seen people including the moderators use that word within the last couple of weeks all you have to do is to go back through the archives to see it for yourself. So yes I'm sorry I do think that this is setting a major double standard which I really cannot agree with and there's no basis in logic for any real disagreement with my comment. -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: 14 March 2010 11:09 To: Gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] expletives Hi. I must confess while I am totally behind most profanity filters for the purposes of keeping things accessible to as many people as possible, a line has to be drawn somewhere. In my old boarding school they thought the word "belly" was swearing, ---- they even thought "heck!" was. I stil however see no need to pander to this sort of thing when the majority of people on the street wouold find it acceptable. I must say that on the audiogames.net forum, while language filters have been set for many words (including the F word), there was a moderator discussion about the word in question a couple of years ago, and it was decided to remove it from the swearing filter, so it now writes as it should. there have been no complaints whatsoever, and sinse it's a word I myself use (I've possibly used it on this list), people have been much more comfortable allowing it. ---- pluss of course, it is also a word which may come up in conversationn on other topics rather than as an expletive, ---- in fact the discussion about removing it from the swearing filters was prompted by discussion of the game desert strike, and it's use of h/llfire missiles as a weapon. thus, while I would certainly agree on keeping profanity down, I do think there is a reasonable line. Obviously, sinse yo moderate this list and not me, such a decision is yours to make and I'll be glad to abide by it, ---- however, i have to confess I don't agree that the H word should in deed be banned simply because some people find it offensive, ---- would you considder banning the word "belly?" as well?
