Zone-Tan Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Serious question, hopefully a Mod answers... We've all been playing games about murder, prostitution, gang violence, racism, criminalism, and everything else in the mix. But I see everyone, and I mean everyone censoring every cuss word except ass. Can we cuss, yay or nay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
universetwisters Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I'm all for removing the censors. Kinda odd, seeing as we can go into all the gory and violent details of virtual criminal acts, but god forbid if we say "f*ck" or "c*nt" or "ni**er" or "sh*t"!

Zone-Tan Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 We don't talk about GTA in this here section. But we can talk about cussing in this here section. Neither did any of us say or specifically talk about Grand Theft Auto, we just spoke about the conversation of games and prostitution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tycek Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Cussing is generally forbidden due to the will of the owners of the adverts on this site. Their policy was to include filter on bad words and it was done. Using bad language may result in deleting the advertisements from this site and losing one of the ways to finance the servers. At least I recall Tank saying something in that matter some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it seems pretty generic, though I've heard b*tch on public TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is voluntarily asterisking out the vowels of swears. My favourite example of auto censoring is that apparently Sc*nthorpe doesn't exist.

RoadRunner71 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I don't really care about the censorship. The only problem I see is when an URL includes one of these words that are automatically censored so it's needed to resort that website that changes te URL and it's kind of annoying.

na89340qv0n34b09q340 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) You don't need to worry about what's allowed, it's all done automatically. Nobody is voluntarily asterisking out the vowels of swears. Except lil weasel who replaces the entire word with <>. I think it's a nice feature; it knocks those guys who rant with cuss words all over the place down a peg, and it makes everyone seem a lot less angry. And like Trip said, the ads are replaced with non-paying public service ads if google decides you're an adult-oriented site - There's no such thing as a free hamster.

El Dildo Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Word censors are in place because of the TOS with google AdSense and so on. I think this guy is correct. of course - all things being equal - it's obviously very silly that curse words are censored on a website that is dedicated to one of the most violent and obscene video game franchises in history. it's quite... ironic.

Mr Rabbit Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 it's for the f*cking advertising (I added the ''f*cking'' for irony not cos I am mad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodDamnMaster Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I've been using cuss words for years so I don't even consciously notice them when I'm typing responses. I don't see the big deal either, we're on a forum about a video game series that has more than it's fair share of repugnant language.

lil weasel Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I think some of you God Damned people are confused. Curse words are not censored (see above), it is the socially Taboo Words that get the *. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChumCrumpet Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Swearing isn't taboo in this day and age. You get the odd kid going 'yah m8 fuk u fukkin dick sh*t f*ck!' Because... I don't know, it makes them feel good? I swear only for emphasis. I personally feel like it's extremely immature to go 'oh god he swore!!!! Tell someone quick!!'
