I was once told that this is a "private" forum, or something of the sort.
So if the forum is private, how is gametavern still liable if little 11 year old Billy from Ontario gets linked via Gametavern to a site that says the F word while he is searching for porn?
I fail to see this. I dont understand it.

And the reasons for banning swearing are more than just to protect kids and parents, its also to keep the content of the forums on a high level. Allowing swearing tends to lessen the quality of posts and turn sites into mind-numbing cursefests. Why that is, I have no idea, but it seems to be the rule rather than the exception.

I dont know if you've noticed, but the swearing isnt removed. It's just replaced with stars. So we can still formulate what it means, thusly defeating the purpose of cleaning up the forums with no swearing.
Why not ban the words:
Ish, uff, uffin, eff, effing, fudging, and things of that sort. Because we all know they are replacements for swearwords, which, as you have stated, are not meant on the forum.
Frankly (not directed at anyone in specific) I dont understand all this uffin' ish about swearwords not being allowed. I dont think that if we can see them, suddenly we'll exploit that fact. Considering thats mothereffing handicapped. Usually people do things because they cant. So if we can post swearwords and that ish, and be able to clearly see them (opposed to seeing ****, which, still gets to your imagination.) I doubt any of us would take advantage of that more than we already do.
All this ****ing **** is pointless to me anyways. I swear regardless on here if I feel the need.
See, can you tell what swearwords I said in that above sentence? I bet you can decipher it if you're really crafty. I bet you can find out what I'm saying.
Hell, why not just change the stars to empty spaces so that we we have no idea how many characters the word is and what context it's used in?
This uffin' ish is retarded, Peace the eff out of this shizz yo.
