I know, that my opinion means literally nothing, but I think, that the filter is unnecessary, but bans are still can be applied. I mean, one thing, when your character screams f-word, while being ambushed - this is natural. Noban. When you are swearing just because you can - this is bad and anti-climatic. Ban. Restrict ooRP insulting or maybe make a borderline for this.

Think about this for a moment...during an ambush, it would be perfectly natural to think, "F***" but is it really natural to actually type it out? I'd argue it's not. It's unnatural to express every thought in our heads, even in extreme moments. If, however, you find yourself believing that your brain is directly connected to the muscle memory in your fingers & you simply can't help yourself, then you give an excellent example of why the rule exists in the first place.
The problem comes from one fact: there are new players who do not completely get the roleplaying idea and, for example, take act of piracy by unlawful players as act of griefing.
Do you think such players wouldn't take inRP insults towards them as a personal attack?

Write the F word on the keyboard does not seem natural at all, but screaming it? With radio turned on? That is highly probable.
I personally would be for turning the mature filter off. From what I understand, excessive usage of swearing and such is covered in the rules anyway.
Those "problematic" words exist for a reason, they have their time and place.
Can you explain specifically how the admins job will not become more difficult than it already is by having to take the extra time defusing the inevitable complaints from people who can't, won't, or don't take the unrestricted RP in the spirit it's intended?
Unioners is a faction that enslaves people for political gain, consigning them to a "life" of hellish labour, takes foreign dignitaries and their opponents hostage for cash with astounding regularity, kills innocents because they're a cog in a bigger machine and splits children from their rightful parents and raises them as their own.
I've been warned by use of certain alt-right modern far right materials from niche organisations in the current Republic of Germany. My first and only ever forum warning. No Nazi memery or imitation - nor am I glorifying any of it. My real-world views are quite the opposite.
I am, however, playing a role. So are others in my faction. There is also a level of sympathy - they are the victims of absolute economic catastrophe and corporate forces just as indirectly brutal as they are directly brutal. Sirius is dark and cold.

I would say: S***w such people and their complaints.
But if you are afraid it will hurt the health of the community....
The most efficient action is DO NOTHING after all.
