How the hell do we know we're swearing in the first place then?

Example1: I'f i said Bastard infront of my grandad? he'd take my head clean off!
No problem saying that here in discoland.

Example2: If i said Twat infront of my grandad? he wouldn't bat an eyelid!
Here i'd be sanctioned to death.

How are we supposed to know what words have been corrupted by other nations?

I find the 4 letter word used to describe fecal matter perfectly fine and not-very-vulgar at all.

Embarrassing misconceptions occur when I use the term as an in-RP exclamation to describe a bad situation my character is in and instead get a warning message.

Yeap. Been trying to.

I'm in the "transitional" phase as of now. Mistakes happen here and there and I end up getting an embarrassing "no-swear" message.

Still think there isn't much wrong with saying the 4 letter word that refers to fecal matter anyway.

Try playing CoD on Xbox Live without switching off the other players' mics - kids these days lack self-control.

Fortunately Disco has been exempt from such behaviour - outside of skype that is.

Agreed,

Not to mention. You don't need to swear to get your point across in Roleplay.

If I remember correctly

Finish it.

Technically two words though. Not sure if the server covers spaces. I know some gaming servers do.

Need a double check for Discovery though.

One thing I'll agree with is that replacing swears on the server has always & will always look stupid, breaking immersion.
So the proposed solution is to institute it serverwide?

Suck my polemic you motherscratching gerbilnibble I have no intention of flooging supporting a move that forces cookie-cutter hemogeny just because a number of people lack the snarfbargling sense, maturity and saltsnotting imagination to think that just because their character has the mouth of a sailor in RP, it needs to be typed out all the time, every time. Y'all must be smegging high.

If it's all that important to swear on the server, replace the swear with ":static:" or something...& if that's an unsavory solution because every other word typed would be ":static:" by that character & look equally as stupid as word replacement itself, the problem is not with the vocabulary restriction, not with imagination, but with the players shallow concept of what needs to be typed in order to convey tone & attitude to others while playing.

Until someone figures out a way to magically keep people from taking a mile when an inch is given, there is nothing that will relax the rule. Period.
