I can enable Word censoring filter. It will look like "{censored} them". *g* So if anyone wants me to enable it, just tell me.

Yeah, it can be whatever I choose to replace it with. :) Only I'll need a list of what to replace and with what. Preferably through a PM. =P

P. S.: (I'll make these posts a separate topic.)

OOOO, sounds fun. Give me the list of words you want censored and I'll come up with substitutions!

First one:
sh** -> bananas

Haha, well, if I specify to replace all the derivatives from a word, they will all be replaced with the same substitution. Like sh**, sh***y, sh**head and so on. All will be "bananas" in this case. And if we're to specify a separate substitution for every derivative, we must manually cover all the possible usages of that word, and that's kinda tiresome. So it's better to create one substitution for one word with all of its derivatives (or even to simply create one universal substitution for all the words, like {censored}). But anyway, I'm not giving you the list of words, you give it to me along with substitutions for them (via PM). =P Also, Sinfulrook offers to substitute with symbols. Should I create a poll about what to use?

Is it possible to just turn on a default word filter and leave an option open to turn it off individually? I really liked that feature in WoW, even though I hated the game itself.

That'd be really good, since I don't like censoring of any sort. <_<

If there had to be I'd pick symbols. **** is very serious. Bananas could make light of a serious topic. I think of this place however as a place to have a bit of fun. So symbols is kinda inbetween. If it was bananas I might just cuss more because it'd be funny...

You can see it in action now. =P

I've added a big list of words to censor (found it somewhere), but it's overly nice. So if you think that some censored words must not be censored, post about it here and I'll delete censoring for them.
