Use of Profanity

[amargasaurus cazaui]

I keep seeing people throwing out profanity in their comments, despite the fact we know kids are accessing the boards as well. I just wonder if its the "cool Factor" making people swear in the forum or just why its necessary....but even some of the tamer words in a profanity list just should not be tossed around in here...I know people whos kids use this forum and I just cannot understand the need to continue doing it.

perhaps the admins could use the bad-word filter like on the original board? Then it just kind of makes bad words go away. Plus, it was funny when it turned 'saltwater' into something completely different. And I won't say why or how.

Also, it's unfortunately the Internet--profanity is often used as a sentence modifier to make up for the lack of emotional resonance through facial expression and body language, in a way that cartoon emoticons often fail to do. Not saying it's right or not, it's just how things are.

Swearing is against the forum rules, so if you see it please flag it.

Not if you are referring to donkeys that use their feet for weapons.
