Disclaimer: I am highly offended by foul language. Please refrain from its use, or, if you must use it, please censor it.
I am afraid I have offended one of the site admins - I deleted a post of his from my previous blog due to the foul language it contained. Therefore, I am formally apologizing here for stepping out of line. However, an important question was brought up by this incident - what is the limit on bad language?Children do visit this site - people from 13 to 16 should not be exposed to R-rated language - but the general rule is worded "Do not swear excessively." This also goes for blog comments. But what is "excessive" swearing?The blog in question had already had two different people posting swear words in comments. The first one, I warned; the second, I removed. Two of certain swear words is enough to earn a movie an R rating here in the states - so are blogs allowed to go into R-rated territory?And what amount of control does a blogger have over the language others post in his blog? If a blogger (such as myself) objects strongly to foul language, should he not have some control over what language is found in his blogs? Can he not at least request that any foul language posted in his blog be censored? And what should be done about comments that contain such language?I've been working on and off on Lions of the Atlantic - correcting game bugs and fixing issues. Look for a release in a couple of weeks.
I posted a blog on this a while back. People seemed to think I was just being a whiney, picky little idiot. But it has been said there will be the option to turn on a language filter in v3 of 64Digits.
Yay language filters! Didn't we used to have them? Each time someone said f— it would turn into ciribot. Or it might have been an admin or mod who edited it.
It was flashback and ludamad that changed f*ck to CIRIBOT.
There was a blog with hente comics in an image. I object to that, but you just have to ignore it. The internet is just a place where you are going to find that stuff, no matter where you go. So I figure cussin is one of the lesser issues.
Dude it's the internet plus some of this attains to real life. You're going to hear swear words. Theres nothing you can do about it.
@DS, is profanity the use of free speech?
Also, the internet is not held by the US. It is an INTERnationalNETwork.Yeah, I do not like foul language either.
See, these are the idiots I was talking about. They can't seem to accept that some people just prefer different things. Idiots. If I were admin, I'd ban some of the people here in seconds. Go fall in a ditch
The internet is a place you'll find these things, but this is a community. People should have options in a community, and the option to filter swear words is a good option.please, Nobody and DS.…
You live in a strange country, Rob.Also, this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. This blog has gone from being clean to being unacceptable for viewing by children in less than an hour - and according to some, I can't do anything about it.
