Swearing

[El Capitan]

The big question...do we allow it here?

For text there are basic word filters (which you can optionally disable in your user control panel)

This doesn't cover images, however which is was the poll is largely about.

[SimonS]

Imo yes. We're not linked with valve so why not.
While I could always understand it in the Official dod forum, having it here just makes things more lenient (Sp). I'm quite against censoring of swearing, especially in a mature war game forum. Partial censoring is ok, because it's the best of both worlds, you can tell which word it is, but it doesn't display the whole word. But imo just have all words uncensored. I think most of us here are pretty mature by now.

[El Capitan]

My thoughts exactly.

I think it should be allowed but if someone starts using it ridiculously, action can be taken on a case-by-case basis.

[RichyCunningham]

Absolutely. Swearing isn't always bad. It can be used in good ways.

[Stroddy]

Chyyeahhh, budddayyy. I hated the tight, choking leash back over there.

[El Capitan]

So the general consensus is "fuck yeah" ?? :)

[ReutherMonkey]

So the general consensus is "fuck yeah" ?? :)
I personally am of the opinion "shit yeah"!

[Stroddy]

So the general consensus is "fuck yeah" ?? :) Yes, fuck yes.

[swedish]

Yes. It's especially tiresome to have to edit pictures that contain cussing and obscenities.

[Fenris Wolf]

I too, agree with swearing.
















Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits.

[RichyCunningham]

Yes. It's especially tiresome to have to edit pictures that contain cussing and obscenities.
WOLL SMOTH AGREES!

Let us swear, but I'd say not against anyone.

ie: Somthing can be fucking stoopid, but not tell someone that they are fucking stoopid

[straybullet]

I'd be down to allow swearing. Although I found a certain humor in censorship.

For old time's sake, Basshunter should still be censored.

Voted yes ofcoruse :D

[Stroddy]

Basshunter should still be censored. Mod request to permaban straybullet.

Also i really think we need some old skool dod smileys is this possible?

On the task list...I hate the ones there now :)

Never!

[ShadowbaneX]

I was half tempted to vote 'no' just to be an ass, but I honestly don't see a problem with swearing as long as it isn't taken to absurd extremes. Calling someone a fucking moron is perfectly appropriate as long as that person is.

Oh, and speaking of old skool smiley's what about old skool posters? If things are going to be more lax here then at the 'official' boards will we be seeing some long forgotten faces here again?

[Stroddy]

If things are going to be more lax here then at the 'official' boards will we be seeing some long forgotten faces here again? Fuck no, motherfucker. This shit is fucking real now.

Question is, you a bad enough dude to handle it? http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j261/spyderf22/a135701f.gif

[Burris]

February 14th is now Mother Fucking Liberation Day, hell yeah mother fucker!

[Oli]

I accidentely voted 'no', don't kill me please :(

[Dr. Crawford]

definately allow it

[CrazyTalk]

why not. if it gets out of hand just apply a filter later

[jow]

Yes. Also, Stroddy is here. Fuck the steam boards.

[Rob]

Voted yes. We're not having to keep an eye out for things on behalf of Valve here, so let's just go for it. If people get stupid we can always change it :p

Or kill them.

Or kill them and THEN change it.

[Crispulus]

Can I say cunt? I really find a lot of use for it.

[Zirconium Blade]
