Fuck yeah, man.

Is it really necessary?

Is it necessary? Nope, not at all.

Unfortunately it would be a pain in the ass to moderate effectively and I am not really a fan of censorship so I don't want to go and add every single swear word to the swear filter.

In the future I am thinking of adding an option that will allow people to choose to filter words individually. As of right now the only option is board wide so if I turn it on it is in effect for everyone. I like for people to have options. Unfortunately this will all be custom development so it will take me a while to put in place. I am hoping to have something ready to go for high school football season. I will also be switching to new forum software before then as well.

Sorry folks, but this post is a perfect example of why this site will never be what the Huddle was. Too many people who just go out of their way to post crap like this. I'm 42 years old....my 13 year old son was basically free to roam the Huddle as he pleased, though he was really only interested in the sports threads......there's no way in the world he's getting on this site, mainly because of stupidity like this.

The internet is serious business.

Some please post the pic with the cat. I am chatting from my phone.

I do it, probably too much without even thinking about it. Doesn't bother me at all, unless of course in thread titles due to being on this site too much at work.

I agree with you except that my guess is that most people swear a lot more or at least a lot more freely on here than they do in everyday speech. My philosophy is that if you wouldn't say it in front of your grandma or if you wouldn't want your 12 year old kid saying it in public, then you shouldn't be saying it either.

I agree with the original poster that using it occasionally for emphasis or to make a point is fine, but using it for no reason when a less-offensive word would have made the point just as effectively isn't necessary.
