But why go to the trouble since it's a clear violation of the forum rules and everyone knows what you meant when they see the ######## anyway?

Better question is why it’s a rule in the first place if everyone knows what is meant. By making it a rule, you’ve got people excited about breaking it, where as I don’t think anyone actually cares about saying #### or #### otherwise.

I wasn't breaking rules. I was just pen testing. I even said "test".

My question is more along the lines of why the filter cannot be turned off. I don't fully get the feeling that it's because Bingo and the mods don't want to...

It can definitely be edited and/or turned off.

You'd have to ask Bingo, but from other sites I've seen (and YouTube channels), it's about advertising. Many advertisers have agreements that their ads won't run on sites that allow "mature" content, so to ensure they don't get blacklisted, sites censor profanity.

Also, I have gone to sites that don't block anything, and nothing makes me appreciate the rules here more than going to those places.

Woah. Dude. Get back.

Although I do agree. I dont know, in real life I really enjoy swearing, having a few rules is okay. I'm glad they uncensored 'bastard.'

I like some of the lesser swears and restrictions...it forces you to get more creative.

I'm not saying ####, I'm saying fuсk. In English, it's pronounced 'fusk' since с is the Cyrillic letter 'Es' which is most certainly not a swear.

Same thing as if you type fu*k, fu-k, fu(k, or fuϚk. It's not a letter in the English alphabet, it's a totally different letter and pronunciation. I'm simply using a different non-English language character to self-censor. So one would say in English "swear filters on forums frequented by grown adults are fusking infantile pearl-clutching if the context in the sentence means pretty much everyone knows what the word is anyway, so get rid of it". The very concept of something being a 'swear' is kind of infantile and stupid to begin with.

The mods will give you an infraction for too many number signs in a post too so who gives a #### either way

[GGG]

I’m always amazed how much the swear filter bothers people. It’s a big who cares

That’s because you’re not cool. I bet you don’t even smoke cigarettes.

I read this. I know most of the words. In this order? I have no idea what you are saying.

What is wrong with you?

In no way did I say anyone needs to cater to me.
I merely responded to why some people might need to sit with their spouse on a plane, when you said you and your wife laugh at people who need to.

I also said they should book the seats together if they do.

Hell, even after my kids turned 10 or probably younger I didn't give a fata if they sat elsewhere. Maybe because I didn't raise them to be totally fataing useless. Crap, my 14 year old flew to Costa Rica alone at Christmas with layover.

It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Elaine and Puddy sit next to each on the plane from Europe.

A little bit of distance never killed anyone.

GGG-LLM does not have any concept of cool in that sense, temperature is but a measure of the average kinetic energy per molecule in a substance.

I re-read it a few times to sanity check, and I've come to the conclusion that you can't fully understand English. Phew. Thought I had accidentally a word again.
