(originally posted in the training lobby forum by user Mortality)

Admin asked me to do this in the public forums, and I can't currently access the competitive forums to make a new topic anymore (with my tragic Dynaon account being self-deleted in a bad fit), so I have posted this here [training lobby].

This is a player named Mortality. Okay, I'm going to have to step in and say that this is not going to fly. There are some words here that make a lot of sense, but as a person who actually has a partnership with Adsense, I do not see how you're using these filters to clean up the site. It's not the fact that the words are used, but it's the actual frequency of the words used in places that members visit often, like the comments section. Maybe these could be applied to comments and forums only, but don't ban them in game, considering those are temporary and can be broken very easily.

And even then, you're going a little too far with the damned filters, aren't you? I mean, you're banning the words 'gay' and 'homo'. Does that mean you believe that Google is a homophobic search engine? Something just screams to me that you're overreacting over a few reports and now you're trying to clean up a dirty site, when in reality, we're only fucking human. However, there is a list of 'stop words' that I can agree that are very profane.

Now, to defend what the Admin is trying to do is very easy. He just wants to keep Adsense on this site because, let's face it, we know how he keeps this site up. Monetizing the site with ads is why we all can keep our websites up (aside from a well-paying job in the first place). It should be a group effort to help clean up the site, not be a complete Angola shut down of everything we normally use. Now, what we need to do is take out the less frequent but absolutely hurtful profane words and make sure they're filtered for further viewing of the website.

I should warn that if too many words like 'abortion' or 'slaughtered' are used, we could end up getting something called a PSA, a Public Service Announcement, on the site. Those look horrible on a website that's just meant to be about mafia. So let's do the Admin a favor and try to be a little nicer, but Admin, do us a favor and give us a little more freedom. it'll do both parties a lot of good.
