F!~@ing gish!
Oh, serious. Sorry.
I've seen Mr. Byers show up in the Son of Forums thread twice to say "do not try to get around the profanity filter."
In case the message is getting buried in umpteen gazillion posts therein, I'm posting it up here to letcha know not to do it.
Just to clear things up here, they're weren't two offenses here. This morning I just cleaned up more quotes of the post in question that I missed yesterday, and forgot I'd already left a note. I'll edit my notes to be more clear.
(Just so it doesn't sound like there's a chronic problem or anything like that.)
Right on; I just thought the original warning got buried in a niagara falls-sized outpouring of spam.
Did somebody say Spam? If you want Niagara Falls-sized Spam, you've come to the right place, buddy! I've even got 29 different flavors!

Most of it reading "Mine!", eh, Heathansson? :)
Meh. I always just used interesting 'filters' of my own. If this causes a problem, I'll just type in the swear and let the built-in filters take care of it. Or go back to medieval analogs ...
God's Blood thou stinkard!
That's the easy part to get through....Right on; I just thought the original warning got buried in a niagara falls-sized outpouring of spam.

That's right! Getting through Spam is easy! I know I can never get enough of it!
How much can I put you down for?
I accidentally bypassed the filter, but I fixed it. Celestial Healer was the only one who saw it though. :)
But if we self-censor, is that okay? Like S**T?

I hope so, I do that all the time, mostly out of habit <_<

That should be okay, as long as you're not just using l337 to fill in.
Cool! Glad I asked.
Of course, it'd be best to you know, not swear. (Because if you're self-censoring, it means you're aware of it.)

Ah Ross, don't be too much of a spoilsport. :P
Nevertheless, understood.

You're a sock puppet for Sebastian? Or is it vice-versa?
I really am trying to be serious
Everybody run it's the end of the world.

and I feel fiiiiiiiiiiine...
There's a profanity filter? Wow, I just thought people didn't use profanity here.
As someone who was >< <--this close to shipping for USMC service, use of profanity is second nature to me. But I just don't do that here, it's bloody rude.
Common courtesy people, it's called COMMON COURTESY.
Shut the *censored* up! Do you *censored* hear what I am *censored* saying? *censored* *censored* *censored*!
~grins and runs~
I still can't dislodge the pre-Oblivion Bethesda Softworks forum filters from my brain.
I think most people who spent any time there know what a "spotted owl" is. (Heck, it's one of their board smilies now.) But I feel personally blessed to have encountered both "vanilla wafer" and "noble seamstress."
Well, I always approach profanity as a piquant spice to conversation. I usually don't say a lot of them verbally, but I like to use them when roleplaying and I feel they are neccessary. I also feel that profanity filters are kinda arbitrary. I can't say: "I cock my head in puzzlement." but I can say: "May your soul be damned to the bowels of Hell." or "My b&%!+ is having puppies soon." versus "May faeces drip slowly into your suppurating sored mouth."
I guess I just don't see the point is all.
Pat, I hear you're quite the cunning linguist.

Indeed.
The only time I use profanity is when my patience is worn thin, kinda like Steve Martin in Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
Car Rental Agent: [cheerfully] Welcome to Marathon, may I help you?
Neal: Yes.
Car Rental Agent: How may I help you?
Neal: You can start by wiping that f*****g dumb-ass smile off your rosey, f*****g, cheeks! Then you can give me a f*****g automobile: a f*****g Datsun, a f*****g Toyota, a f*****g Mustang, a f*****g Buick! Four f*****g wheels and a seat!
Car Rental Agent: I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.
Neal: And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of f*****g nowhere with f*****g keys to a f*****g car that isn't f*****g there. And I really didn't care to f*****g walk down a f*****g highway and across a f*****g runway to get back here to have you smile in my f*****g face. I want a f*****g car RIGHT F*****G NOW!
Car Rental Agent: May I see your rental agreement?
Neal: I threw it away.
Car Rental Agent: Oh boy.
Neal: Oh boy, what?
Car Rental Agent: You're f****d!
just say sea wall and rooster, dog boy.
