Censorship Policy

The users of ChiefsPlanet decided many years ago that we would censor a select few objectionable words. We decided the F-bomb, C-bomb, and N-bomb were amongst those. We have since added ANY racial slur to that list. We've also stated that any attempt to circumvent our automatic censor would result in severe punishment.

However, we've not been very consistent. For instance, I've always allowed a partially censored "fuck" to stand. I have never allowed umulats or other such methods of fooling the filter to remain if I discovered them. Our lack of consistency has recently been pointed out and I'd like to solve the issue. Please vote your preference.

I've always considered this a site for adult Chiefs talk, as well as other topics. If people want to use foul language - go for it. If you can't take a little bad language, then go fuck yourself

See, this is exactly my point. We come to Chiefsplanet, not just for football news, but to get to know people. This is a community. If we were all meeting at a bowling alley, EnDelt would have every right to say this. So, he should have every right to say it here. If it pisses off Angela, then HE has to deal with it. But it shouldn't be Chiefsplanet's job to protect EnDelt from that wrath. Consequently, if we disallowed EnDelt to be his normal, cheery self, we couldn't say that we actually know him could we? But, I'd say by not censoring EnDelt, we've all gotten to know him pretty well, and that's a GOOD thing!

Now, if some kid walks into the bowling alley and hears some adults swearing, that's not the end of the world. Same should go with Chiefsplanet.

Agreed. Although I would go further. If you don't think something is appropriate...then don't say it. That's your perogative. Your responsibility, even. Just like it's mine to decide that abso-fucking-lutely nothing is inappropriate. Filter if you want, that's also your right. Personally, I don't see the point; I'm fooling myself if I think seeing '****' instead of 'fuck' somehow covers up what's being said, even in spirit. And in the end, jesus christ, we're talking about words here. As for kids, well, as has been pointed out, this is an adult site, but if a kid on here sees (gasp) one of my "dirty" words, then by all means I grant the supervising adult full permission to point at me as a bad man and an example of how you do not want him/her to behave.

Actually, that personalized filter hasn't worked for a long time - since we upgraded the board, at least.

Was it the 'c*nt hair' or the "Goddamnit you mother fucking sheep dog hairy-ass shedding PMSing semen slurping gutter whore, I just slipped on one of your skanky c*nt hairs and missed a strike!"

Glad to see the no censorship option is in the lead.

fuck censorship.

Those who have been annoyed with my strong-willied ways the past few days will be happy to hear that I don't give a fuck.

Endelt, you're wonderful, you can get away with anything. I'm going to start using your tactics. The next woman I see I'm going to call "sugar cooch" and see what she does.

[Hammock Parties]

I think the filter is kind of funny. Leave it that way.

that one's not as cute.. no alliteration in this one... I think the same sounding starts of the words are part of the charm
