Just for the record, and to prove this has some use, a new player joined a few days ago and was speaking with me about the rp community. Shortly into our discussion someone decided it was appropriate to curse someone off at the bank. I have not seen him since.
The reason I mention this is because as an rp and pvp shard we should cater to both parts. As someone who has rp'd in the past I can tell you I would not find it at all fun starting here just to be cursed off for no reason within minutes.
"Oh that doesn't happen Shade". Actually it does.
Think of the new players, you think they want to spend their first minutes on our server getting setup or putting words into their swear filter? I personally want to get started right away and wouldn't even think to use the swear filter if it was that bad, I would just leave. Which is what this filter is trying to prevent. Sure it needs a little bit of tweeking, along with some more words added, but I like it personally.
Maybe if player could act mature around newer players and players they do not know, this wouldn't have even been an issue.
