And on those particular words I happen to agree with the filter in most cases. Children play MMO's. Children sometimes read the forums. I don't need pissed off e-mails from parents every time some kid runs across someone breaking the filter with one of those words that begin with F. I get enough of those as is.

I completely understand why the filters are there, I was just curious why the s-word was filtered differently.

Also, do you really get a lot of mails from angry parents? Smiley: lol

Silly parents. Letting their children browse the internet in the belief that they won't see anything but sparkling unicorns and rainbows.

Anyway, I got the answer I was looking for.

Its a shame that you have to do someone else's parenting for them.

It's a shame that parents would be bothered because their child used a swear word.
