The majority of our members & readers check the site during the day from work, and so we need to be ‘work-safe’. A lot of companies block sites with profanity or other questionable content, so we want to get by those filters unhindered. The filter’s not used much anyhow, as we’re a pretty well spoken bunch it seems
The filter’s not perfect though, hence why it censors some legitimate words. Doh.
the ****ing ****ting ****ing swear filter is to **** sure my ****ing ***ing ****face swearing is kept in ****ing check… you got a ****ing problem **** that ****?
