Actually Splinter has a point. The way it is now can probably drive people nuts, even tho it's ment in a good way.
People tend to use swear-words in general without thinking about it, and if you write a really long sentence and "accidently" type anything that resembles a swear-word you'll just get a notice down in the corner saying "you shouldn't wear, if you swear you'll get jailed.." , and you have to type the whole sentence over again without the swearing word in it.
I agree on that ppl shouldn't "have to" hear swearing, but the way it is now is still pretty annoying.
What's wrong with the good old censur on words which are swear-words? that way ppl who doesnt like them won't have to hear them, but we won't "force" people to talk "none-swearish", and that can probably piss quite a few ppl off, not because they want to swear but because they swear without thinking about it because it's a part of who they are, and how they are used to talking/chatting.
I would also agree on a version where it ALWAYS does @%"¤! when you swear or something, that'dbe pretty nice. That's in my opinion way better than that it stops the whole sentence from coming out and instead does a notice down in the corner, because that's pretty annoying.
I'm sure most of us staffmembers doesn't think about how annoying it really is, because it is not enabled like that for staffmembers, so we don't have to get annoyed by it the way players does ;p I pretty much never use swear-words myself, so it wouldn't annoy me, but I'm sure a lot of ppl will get pissed off by the way it is now, so I vote for an .swearon / .swearoff command, or an always-on @!"¤&-thing above swear-words, but I vote no to the way it is now.
The best thing in order to get players to "start talking nicer" without being too pissed about it is in my opinion if we would add something that does @!¤"% when you swear, on the swear-word, but that doesn't stop the whole sentence. Why? - because if we do that then we'll get ppl to avoid these words because they would WANT people to hear what they are saying, but at the same time we aren't stopping their whole sentence and pissing them off the way we just pissed Splinter off. That's what I think anyways.
