OK. so, this is a big one but... I'm sorry, there has to be something we are allowed to swear on. Look, I understand this is a "kids" site, but... a lot of us have grown up with this site. For years, maybe some of us since Games of Gondor. But, we have to get our message out. You want to understand how this person feels about this certain subject. And i don't mean a forum for... older. I mean, a filter. You have to be a certain age to view that subject. I'm not asking you to grow up, I'm asking you to see us in a different light.

Please.

1 People lie about their age.
2 The only instances where such words have any reason to be stated are in quotations and in non-profane contexts. Anything else is frivolous and unjustified.
3 If you can't express your feelings in ordinary terms, grab a dictionary or thesaurus and just read it. You'll find plenty of words that convey the same message.

I agree with FishPreferred , though AG's profanity filter does need to be updated a bit, so as to allow us to spell words like c***tail or c***roach.

Yes there are some words that get censored because the spelling for a swear is a part of the spelling for word that is considered to be appropriate.

There's really no reason to use profane language. There are many ways to express anger without cussing.

Example:

"I (curse)ing hate this game. It has (bs) controls and it's as if it was made for a**hats."

Instead:

"I have a strong dislike for this game. It's controls are too confusing and it's as if it was made for people with the IQ of a child born yesterday."

To be honest I feel like the second statement expresses more anger, and it was written without cussing.

I think the second statement is more... sophisticated. I do agree with you on that.

@akshobhya "Assassin" is not a censored word. Many words use the three-letter word beginning with "a" as a suffix, such as "association" and "assimilation," so that word is only censored when it's by itself or if it is part of a word that is already censored for a reason.

I strongly agree with FishPreferred. Look, some people fake their age to join Armor Games. IF people were allowed to curse, this site would look like a fishmarket- A local site. And guests (People who arent members of this site) can look at the forums and read the forum posts too (but cant post) and that would give them a bad impression of the site.

Yes, we understand. There is hate for the subject, and there is liking for a subject. Hate can be expressed without cussing, as @SirLegendary said.
