Word Censors

Do you censor words on your forum?

I only censor a few bad ones.

I censor them sometimes, others I don't care. But if I do censor them, I usually allow people to un-censor them if they so choose.

I censor the ones that i dont say.

about 5 or so.

whatever I feel is too expcicit on my board i do censor out.

I don't censor to much because sometimes there are just words that you need to use that some forums do censor out.

I don't censor, you just be active on your forum and censor them out, makes your job bit more fun.

Some, Not really a fan of it though.

Haha, but is it really worth possibly losing members over that?

I actually lost one member because he was using some vulgar words, I edited them out.

I don't use them. I find them petty. As long as people aren't swearing in every post, and aren't using it in an abuse way, there's nothing wrong with it.

I would usually censor words that are very offensive, simply because it likely isn't the aim of your forum to offend someone. I would also censor these words to put forth a professional look to the forum, because foul language can often tarnish a forum because it isn't at all controlled.

For me, censorship is one of the worst things that can happen on a forum... therefore I don't censor anything. The world is uncensored... why should a forum be?

I don't really censor words
I never have

heh too many words, and too many ways around the cencorship...

so its pointless, people are going to find away around it...

He's right
member just start using works that are mispelt

There are ways to stop that though, if your dedicated you will eventually get all of the ways around taken out by adding new ways into the list as they pop up.

I don't have a community using curse words often. So my forum has no censored words.

No, I do not make any use of the censor feature; I allow the use of "bad words".

I have a set of around 10 in place

well it's ok to censor few words, but i think that if you have a general chat forum you should leave it all free, that will attract more users in my opinion. anyway, NEVER censor inside words. that's not a good idea.
