Posted: Mon Dec 25, 2006 5:56 pmok, how is this for an argument.
censoring words shouldn't be the responsibility of a webmaster. If someone isn't supposed to see the words, they are underage and should be restricted to viewing potentially unsuitable websites by their parent or guardian. punishing those who wish to have a casual, adult environment because of the ineptitude or neglect of a parent is unreasonable. Furthermore, the TOS of these webforums clearly states that monitoring such behavior is impossible and not against the rules unless federal laws are broken.

If you haven't observed, online forums tend to get a little nastier than other forums of communication because of the anonymity factor. Stopping curse words is just a way to help hold that in check.
