Now that I-

-have your attention, there are some things you need to know:

First, we already know there is an exploit that allows you to bypass the site censor and write expletives and other things without having to alter them.

We also know how it is done. We also know how to fix it.

But in the meantime before it is fixed, please be aware that if any of your posts contain uncensored expletives in it, you are at risk of being banned because we consider that to be excessive swearing as stated in the rules of the site. And if it happens more than once, we might just get impatient enough to have you permanently banned.

So yeah, I thought it'd be fair if you guys were told, because it's happened more than once now.

We know that the filter isn't perfect either, so if you feel the urge to swear, why not filter yourself? We have to make some kind of judgement when deciding what course of action to take when we encounter expletives, so the safest option would naturally be not to use expletives.

Now, just one other matter: seeing tons of posts insulting people and swearing etc. by a single user is annoying. It annoys us too. But please don't assume we're letting anybody get away more than anybody else. If the rules have been broken we will deal with the user accordingly.

In some cases, the posts themselves may remain for some time as we keep them as evidence while we consult the administration to see if any further action is required. In these cases, as usual, the most useful course of action is NOT to complain that we aren't doing anything, but to report the offending post to us, so that we can compile them and present them as required.

That would be most helpful, thanks!

I know you mods are trying to do your best in taking appropriate action against users who break the rules, but maybe [if you're not already] you should go through the older threads more thoroughly as many users are flooding them with spam.

If you see users flooding threads with spam, then you should report it to a moderator. We can only do so much at a time.

How can people go on the internet and expect not to see the words fuck and shit anywhere. Also, why is rape censored? It is actually a word, and in the WEPR section, rape is use quite often. Plus, damn isn't all bad, unless you're 7. Hell, the age group for Armor Games users is between 12-18, and no 12 year old thinks damn is a bad word.

Is it alright if I cry? It's not even spelled for gods' sake!

An expletive is a profane or obscene expression usually of surprise or anger.

They are known as curse words.

I nearly lol'd at all the ****s. Four letter words! D:

Rape (which is what I assume is the one you meant in the WEPR) is censored, iirc, because someone decided it was a good idea to threaten people with. Going around the censor for that specific word is not something I'd even warn for if it was in the context of a discussion (like in the abortion thread), and not just flung about or used distastefully.

Don't really understand your example :/

Bypassing it accidentally is kinda hard, though.

It was explained somewhere in pages 1 or 2 how to do it. Though I highly don't recommend it. When in doubt, don't. Or ask a mod.

What about just putting 'what the f..'
Is that 'bypassing' the censor or ?
Because some games on here need that sentence in the review xD

You're right. A lot of people around my age thinks it's not a bad word. In fact, even the teachers swear. I loled when I heard from my friend that my English teacher. She said "Don't you give this bullshit to me!"

I never swear, some alternatives are "insert profane word here"
or you put asterisks *insert highly profane word here*
In forums I italicize certain adjectives.
It's just my way of saying what I mean, but I almost never use it on here.
