Since the staff and rules is against swearing, why don't we make a 'swear box' as inspired by a hilarious video shared to us all just now.
Everytime a certain swear word is ushered, a fine is imposed on the player in question, be it in private, group or system chat. After all, its all tracked anyway.
Sure its less freedom of speech, but this type of real crude language isn't needed.
Bloody and damn I hope don't get fined, since I use them sometimes.
Thoughts?

Group chat usually consists of lol, and "wtf was that", killing that sort of thing would make it incredibly limited for us to speak.

I agree. Should be a simple thing for Cannon to do.

On a more serious note, ppl will probably learn those words and bypass them.
They use asterisks. or a$$ for example.
It seems a bit pointless to implement it for that reason, but we might as well.

Please don't.. more programming hassle when all it'll do is encourage 1337-swearing.
Besides, I can't be bothered trading if a swear slips out in Group chat. Big deal.

Some group chat can get very, uh, harsh, but that's always with the agreement of those involved in that group chat. I would hope a FLhook thingy wouldn't punish or censor group or private chat. If someone involved really objects to it and the others don't stop, then they can be forum sanctioned.
Also, I would hope certain 'common' and less-harsh swears are still allowed, for the purpose of RP. Damn, hell, crap, bastard, bloody, etc.

Not to mention another thing what happened in the RM several times: one of our valuable members forgot the 'a' and 'e' in *salutes*.
Okay... I laughed very hard.
