They Should Relax The Language Censor A Bit.
I’m not saying they should free up the seven deadly words or anything. But I get called on things they can say on regular TV. I understand there are underage people on this site but not that young. Most of the people here just use some different keystrokes to get by the censors anyway.

My favorite was early in my expirence here and I said I felt....up to something, and the censor tagged me for felt.... Up for goodness sakes. I submitted it anyway figuring they would see it and clear it no problem. Well they did only it was 3 weeks later. It completely destroyed the dialogue I was having.

 That is exactly what happened to me. I wrote in a shoutbox do you feel....up to some reading and it said it had to be reviewed.

Frankly I don't think a debate website should have a language censor AT ALL. We should all just sign a waiver the first time we enter to indicate we understand we may be exposed to all manner of profanity and offensiveness and then they should let this place be a true free expression site.

And yes, if they are still going to keep the language censor they should at least lighten it up. It's ridiculous some of the words they block, and meanwhile people who want to cuss still pull it off by omitting or substituting letters.

The language censor on this site is a joke.

It forbids the most harmless words.

Yet, people can use the most insulting, offensive, and prejudice words while sharing the utter most disgusting beliefs.

You're hardly the worst anyway, death threats don't need swear words to be worse than anything you've ever said.
