The odd time it is a humorous diversion in a sandbox-like environment ...on discussing swear words.

But I believe that talk of doing away with ...even a flawed profanity check system in place that cannot catch all words of questionable intent...is not an answer.
Fixing it is...adding words to the list is....
getting rid of the profanity check isn't.

Many would self police themselves well here without it.
Many would not.
The numbers of either are irrelevant.
What is relevant is the shock value of even a few people using profanity so easily to derail, sabotage, and otherwise harm meaningful dialogue and discourse ...far far too easily.
What is relevant is that it would only take a few people to poison this place.
In the end it is about having a welcoming and comfortable environment that people can participate in.
If profanity is simply allowed casually here...
I believe it won't take long for things to go sour ...
If such flawed filter systems as we have are kicked to the side...
or we end up having people in minority or majority subverting the profanity checks to vent in an ugly way upon one another...
then I for one would have to seriously consider leaving this place.
It would be... I think... the only reason why I would leave...
Proper considerate behavior for one another is essential here.
The swear filter and our moderators are the only preventative tools we have here...taking out of the equation .. half our tools to keep the place clean, welcoming and friendly...doesn't help.
