who else hates it? especially here. like my sig says, what 13 year old doesn't know most swears these days?
of course, this isn't limited to this site, but also life in general. i think censorship is a completely ridiculous waste of time.
oh well, this thread will get deleted quick because i'm speaking up against the gods of the forum. guess i'd better bow down and beg for mercy lest i be struck down...

A 13 year old than doesn't know @sshole is a good child, a proper one in my opinion.
I didn't really know any swears when till i was 14/15... I didn't know what girls were until then either. The youth of today way to eager to grow up.

censorship has been much more lenient over the years. You think this is bad? Go look up the production code (Hay's code) from the 1950s.
as for this site, it's the admins' call. get over it.

You're fighting a fight you don't want to fight. nah, i want to fight it. down with censorship! in all seriousness though, i'm just stating an opinion. if that bothers anyone, discuss it with me. i'm all for having a nice discussion rather than having a thread deleted for vocalizing an unpopular opinion to those in charge.

Censorship has been really changing over the years, especially on television. It's becoming so much more lenient, it's crazy.
In regards to this forum, there are set rules for censorship that aren't going to change any time soon. Yes, we have a lot of member here that are older and use language in every day life that isn't allowed here. However, you have to remember this is a wrestling figure site that also has it's fair share of younger members. Yeah, they might already be aware of such words and perhaps they even use them in conversations, but they can't use them here. Just the rules. I don't think it's really that big of a deal to have a certain word blocked out with stars.
And you're beating the censors in your signature, which is against the TOS that you agreed to when you signed up here. Just saying.

You think not being able to say or crap is censorship? There are some Egyptians who would disagree with you. Just saying. You just think you know what censorship is.

You just think you know what censorship is. i know, sucks for them. but you know what? i live in america, where, last i knew, there was freedom of speech. and as far as "certain words being blocked with stars", i know. not a big deal. it just gets on my nerves when things such as song titles and words containing a "swear"(mass-hole) get blocked out and/or changed to something else. and honestly, i'm more annoyed by the words getting changed to something silly rather than just being starred out. reminds me of that orbit(i think?) commercial... "you lint licker!"

"you lint licker!" You do know that the silly censors only came into play because of people complaining just like you're doing right? Despite what they say or how they act, the admins of this place love to pull strings and watch us tick. Changing the censors to silly words is apart of it, and as long as we complain about it, they'll keep doing it. But I guess I'm a bit different. I actually don't use profanity at all. I find it easier to not have to censor myself around certain people when I don't use that kind of language to begin with.

Here's the thing. When you sign up for a forum, a web site, or anything, you (almost) always agree to at least one Terms of Service during the sign-up process, and, occasionally, your use of that service/forum/etc. is a tacit agreement to another, more specific, Terms of Service.
When you sign up here, you agree to Proboards' ToS. When you post here, you agree to WF's ToS. You have no right to Freedom of Speech on WF. You gave it up for the right to post.
Or as Bungie says on their site: You have no rights. Play nice.

I come to the forum to read things and post things for others to read, not worry about someone swearing. Replacing Shi* with Poop is, dumb? Sure, but who cares? It's not like you don't know what they're talking about. Have a problem, take it up with your congressman. ;D

What Mole said. Seriously, if you don't like it, there's the door. We have to abide by ProBoards rules first, or the site gets shut down. Secondly, we have our own rules, which are in place because we have an extremely high population of under 18 users. Most of you were kids when you signed up here, even if you are an adult now. Sure, you're more grown up, but not everyone here has. And can you not communicate with others without cursing? It shows a lack of maturity and intelligence if you can't, and yet you want to be considered an adult?
Seriously, you would think we were gassing jews in the mod board lately with all the whining about us enforcing the rules. Seriously, if you can't play nice, then do me, Jack, and the other admins a favor and leave. The amount of reported posts and nonsense and fighting we have to deal with on a daily basis is ludicrous, and at an all time high, which is why you find us a lot less lenient than in the past now. Frankly, we are tired of it. So you guys wanted less warnings, that's fine because there are going to be a lot less warnings, and a lot more bannings.

You know, your right. For too long, we, the people of WF have been censored. NOW IS THE TIME TO RISE U-
This message censored by Proboards Inc. Holding Co. Ltd.
In all seriousness, i dont give a poop what the censors do. I come on this site for a lot of reasons, and swearing isnt one of them. The only thing I wish they didnt do was censor words in the middle of words. I cant properly express my love of crapake mushrooms on this site.
