Dale Nixon Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Why on earth is a forum dedicated to GTA censored? Why is it so when I type f*ck sh*t ass f*ck in c*nt ass motherf*cker and everything it is censored? I actually checked and they don't even censor those words on the Glee forum. Jesus Christ, remove it, it's silly and unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale Nixon Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Because of advertisements. /thread WELL, f*ck THAT. It's still ironic that a forum dedicated to a game like GTA would do that. Unless they want to parody themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pizza Delivery Guy Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The reason that I believe it is up is because: 1. There are a lot more under 12 year olds on this forum, (don't ask me why) an I guess the censor is up for that sake. 2. This is a more popular site on the web and is being more closely monitored. That's the best I could come up with. I think it should be taken off as well, but that's just me. And Dale Nixon for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn 7 five 11 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Because of advertisements. /thread WELL, f*ck THAT. It's still ironic that a forum dedicated to a game like GTA would do that. Unless they want to parody themselves. You understand that forums such as these would be quite expensive to run? And very time consuming to code, the ads are a requirement unless you are very well off. Which I think Tank would be, But I wouldn't know. Who knows, the guy probably runs this place at a loss.

Moth Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Because of advertisements. /thread WELL, f*ck THAT. It's still ironic that a forum dedicated to a game like GTA would do that.

MikeMyth Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) A Pokemon website f*cking has cursing. Did you know you can't see spoilers if they contain cursing? f*cking hell. f*ck. sh*t. To be honest, it's not really a big deal. Is it really so important to cuss over the web? I mean even though it's censored you get the idea.

I've seen popular and well-known forums without censorship systems like this one. It's silly and dumb; essentially people can still see what you're saying even if one letter from the word is replaced with an asterix. And no, that's not a reason for your counter-argument.

Jesus Christ, remove it, it's silly and unnecessary. Because we want to be in a nice civil environment. Its just the way the forum is, if you would prefer to swear a lot, then find somewhere else. Yes, but people can still use curse and 'bad' words and all that happens is that one letter of the word is replaced with an asterix. And before you give me a counter-argument like: ''Well, if it's already so unimportant to you and people can still use their imagination to complete the word. . . . then what is the problem?'' The 'problem' is that this is a forum dedicated to GTA. Well, let's censor GTA, why the f*ck not? let's see what happens. My point is this censorship system is so irrelevant and insignifcant that it might as well be removed. EDIT: So why does it matter if it's there then? I knew someone would say this. It's important because I'm f*cking drink and when I come on this forum I don't wanna f*cking see some goddamn asterix shadowing my f*cking language; understand, mothaaaaaaaaf*ckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah? I couldn't care less honestly, but thought this would be a good thread in any case. Edited February 22, 2013 by Dale Nixon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The google ads bring revenue in to pay for the servers and up keep and my wages. So I will not jeopardize that for you. Its just the way it is.
