The swear filter is present for a reason, presumably to shield younger virgin eyes and whatnot... even though we do get the occasional pre-pubescent DinkKiller who likes to spill as many of those new and exciting swear words as humanly possible.

Why, my friends, do you see fit to bypass the swear filter? I for one am completely indifferent toward it, but the Ultimate Will of the Walma brings forth great truth and enlightenment, so tell me... why? Even when your words are filtered, it is easily understood by those "in the know" what you are saying.

I agree completely.

Why pass the swear filter, only to apologize for doing so in the very same post? It defeats the whole point of having a swear filter. A few people need their heads cracking. Twangers.

EDIT: Umm... a certain word beginning with W isn't included in the filter, so I changed my post. I guess the word is pretty much an English one and not really used in America.

The only two I've seen doing it are me and Kyle. Have other people been doing it as well. Uh, I guess I should say sorry. "Sorry."

It's used over here in Australia quite a bit too. A bit too much if you ask me.

Yeah, but I feel that in that particular post I could not have made my point come across the way I wanted to without bypassing it. It was ABOUT swearing for crying out loud.

Which particular post is this, if you (or someone else) don't mind linking to it?

I'd look it up right now but I am currently pressed for time, and it'd be convenient if one of my many lackeys did the dirty work for me. Maybe later.

There were two. The interesting concepts for D-Mods. And the other one was the 'What would you rather?' thread. I won't bother linking to them because I'm lazy.

"Why bypass the swear filter, Dink Network Staff Member Alumni? If you say 'Duck', people know what you mean. Well, most people."

If nothing else, there are indeed asterisks, if for some reason you insist.

Like I said before, the swearing doesn't really bother me any, but why people see fit to bypass the filter for unnecessary reasons, I'm not sure of.

I spose you're tight.

I guess I'll just use f*ck and b*tch and sh*t or do I need more asterisks?

DON'T VIEW IF YOU GET OFFENDED BY SEXUL WORDS!! (If they're not filtered that is.

So you'd rather duck, she dog and shoot? Can I test some? What about porn. Is that filtered? Orgasm masturbate. Any other words filtered?

I've always thought that swear filter is not here to shield virgin eyes(like 12year olds). Nowadays they already know more then they should(this is not the only site they visit).
But to make it humorous.

I don't think Kyle's reason is right. Since we can always read in our mind what the person was trying to say.

Porn, orgasm and masturbate are not swear words, smartass. They're sex-related words. Not much sense in filtering all of those...

I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess. 
Honestly, I really don't want to read those kinds of words, as they are often used only immaturely. If I read a thread with them, I'll usually start to close the thread, as there's not going to be anything of value in the thread.
