Because bad words are bad influence

I hate people that is like "BUT THE CHILDREN HEAR THE BAD WORDS AND THEN THEY START USING THEM WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT THEY MEAN" well, I think most people can agree with that kids learn more bad words irl from their friends, on tv or from their parents than being on the internet...

When I was your age (assuming you are around 10-11) I never told my parents what sites i visited, I always closed firefox when they entered the room :P

Nah, my parents are paranoid and still think I can't tell the difference between a pedophile and a kid :<

So... people are getting in trouble for self-censoring words they don't think will be auto-censored?

Then what do we do with words we don't think will be censored but we want them to be?

Sounds good to me. I personally don't like a lot of swearing as a whole.

Umm... Why infract for swearing? Isn't that what censors are for?

I think this rule is sort of pointless and strict... But if that is what makes you guys happy then go ahead and infract at will.

Contrary to what you may beleive, most of the active users are not little impressionable kids, most users are in the teens. And in my opinion, seeing a word being used on the Internet isn't going to scar a child for life. I learned the B-word when I was 7, and it never impacted me in any way.

I personally do not beleive infractions should be thrown out at the use of a single swear word, but if someone is known to swear excessively, then something should be done.

I also beleive that the filters here are too strict. Some words that really aren't offensive are blocked. I can't say them, obviously, but the filters should be reviewed.
