-
Sure! Be great actually. Try to keep it more Lego-oriented though.

oh ok. i was just worried cause the bots are made of metal and legos.

I'm in...
How do you post?

What? There is a post button at the bottom, it looks like this: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8935addreply2.png)

"Swearing only hurts people, and it’s not 'cool'. Alpha X has a word censor, but even then people know you’re attempting it."
Who is actually hurt by "swear" words? Besides, why is "sh**" worse than "poop"? Why is "****" worse than "copulate"? If you can't come up with an answer as to why one is offensive and not the other, your stance is irrational.

I'm joining as we speak!

You're stance is irrational. Shut up and don't join if you have a problem with it.

By definition, my stance is rational as I can clearly explain why I believe the way I do without any contradictions. If you are unable to clearly state why certain words are worse than their synonyms, then your position is irrational. Considering that you responded with a "NO U", it seems as though this is the case.

Reier is just trying to keep it a friendly environment for users of all ages
younger kids while being allowed to say poop are generally told to stay away from "crap" despite meaning the same thing
its all just easier that way,

Isn't that the point of the word filter?
-
it is possible to get around the filter with cr@p or cr#p etc
so the rules still need to be in place

"Crap" isn't allowed? Are you ****ing kidding me? Name one English-speaking 13 year old who hasn't said crap.
-
The POINT is- if you have a problem with not saying swear words, don't join.
No crap isn't filtered either.
Have a fit somewhere else jeff.
-
I just joined.
-
I was just using Crap as an example, I dont really know what is filtered or not
but yes its an argument thats getting nowhere slowly so there isnt much point debating over it,
dont like the rules, dont play the game ;)

You can't even offer an explanation as to why your fragile little mind can't handle certain words, but can handle their synonyms? Have you never put any thought into it, or do you simply have no legitimate answer? It looks to me that you're just against certain words because your mommy and daddy say that they're bad. Instead of coming to a conclusion on your own, you just proudly accept the bupkis that is handed down to you. Speaking of bupkis, is that allowed on your little website? It's Yiddish for "goat sh**", so if it is, this just furthers my point.
-
Well gosh darn....I have never heard so much dodo in my life!
-
and this whole conversation proves what???? I don't understand why ur startin "sh#t" frezal.

Hey bud, you seem to want to join this seeing as you've made such a big deal out of it. Fine with me if you do, but don't swear. "Sensible" or not, they're still swear words, and I won't have that on my forum. If you keep persisting to whack lil' old me for not swearing, something's wrong. I was raised not to swear and I'm going to stick to it, if you swear, that's your problem. But leave me and Alpha X out of it. You brought it up.

I don't even care about your forums. Sure, I used to love Legos, but the idea of digital Legos doesn't seem right. Much like books, I prefer my Legos to be physical.
What bothers me is how you're waisting your mind. Choosing not to say certain words can be perfectly legitimate. I avoid racial/ethnic slurs because I know just how hurtful those words can be. They exist solely to dehumanize others. I arrived at my decision not to say these words on my own after much thought. Thus, I can clearly explain my position.
You, on the other hand, are simply following orders without ever bothering to ask why the orders were given in the first place. This line of thinking is why a great deal of atrocities occur in the world; why religions spread so quickly and easily; how rights get trampled without any sort of uprising.
I'm not asking that you change your policy. Hell, you can even continue to save the "swear" words for your mind. All I'm asking for you to do is to think about why it is that you are offended by certain words and not their synonyms. If you can't come up with a good reason as to why one word is offensive and not the other, then do you truly believe what you think you believe?

Why are you guys even arguing over such petty things ?

Discussions on an internet discussion forum? Unheard of!
-
Argueing over the fact that someone doesn't want swearing in their own, unrelated forum probably is though.
So why don't we all calm down and be happy, like internet communities should be - you know, where groups of similar minded people discuss things that... well... they think similarly about XD
-
Oh wow., I just now stumbled on this discussion. While I understand exactly what Frezal is talking about, and actually myself think a similar way, I just don't get what the big fuss is... As craaig said, lets just all be happy cats.

HEY FREZAL. LETS GET A DEBATE THREAD GOING.
I love debating almost as much as you do, so lets have at it. Why are swear words considered unacceptable if their synonyms aren't? That's the question right? Fine.
-
sorry Nar that image is trademarked by the candy factory :D
-
You did not said anything about that before, Candyman... but since it is copyrighted now i won't use it anymore.
-
im only joking, a 20 sec edit isnt a proper candy job :P

Anyone heard of a guy called Blitz Kreig? He joined like the first day and I have no idea if he's someone on here.
He's cool and stuff, just wondering. And he spread the word about the forum and got another guy to join! :D
-
Remember that CookyX thing I had?
Ninteen45
Nineteen45
1945
I'll let you to the rest.
-
I no understand what you mean about the CookyX thing.
And Ninteen45 = 1945 - so you're Blitz?
-
Yup.
I have a major interest in WW2.
-
Kindred Spirits :D
I lean toward the planes though.
-
Whoa, back off!
I kid I kid.
Anyway, Back to the story:
