To be honest, in moderation, swearing shouldn't be such an issue. Most people that play on the server are adults it seems.

I think the censoring came up when some soccer mom saw a****le on the forums and did the usual "Ruin everyone's fun" rant, and the admins decided to censor us all like we're 5 because of it
But that's just a rumor

I wonder when and why swearing words appeared in English...

quick everyone make a lando clone!!!
I think it's mostly because when we think black people we think african americans who's speech are really just normally indistinguishable from americans, so probably the only way to make a black character without falling into the african american sterotype is to make someone that's distinctly african-tribal, with a name like Matumbo or sommin

Snowflake isn't censored either!

Reminds me of when I insulted RNCs on my LR in German.
But true, that "in group chat used /l <insult>" should be fixed.

And I was warned for typing betch (Which is really stupid, since ***** is in the main storyline and shouldn't be censored, we're not 6)
And? My point was that it doesn't work sometimes. The ship/shit thing was just a specific example.
Of all the times the censor has gotten in my way though dumbass is by far the most frequent, and very, very silly.

Reviving thread.
Why the hell is f*gg*t a swear? Like honestly, a lot of people that play Disco are like 20+. Yes sure, some (including me) are under that but it's the internet. It's online media which is free and therefore will expose anyone who uses it to more dirty language. BUT things like "F*gg*t" are a swearword yet "b*tch" isn't?
Help please.

Although this is little under a year old, I'm pretty sure the admins kept the same stance on why we can't use swear words a whole lot, as well as why we have a swear-filter.

Because we're not twelve and there's no excuse to insult peoples' sexuality?
