    I thought about doing it to my nephews (9 and 7). But I found they are learning words from school anyways.

    I first turned it off because it censored words that was not rude etc. and I'm an adult, I don't get offended by profanities.

    Just saw the poll. You don't need the filter turned off to report folks. As a matter of fact, having the filter turned on makes it much easier to see who's using disallowed language since it's all @#$% and what not, so like I mentioned earlier, easier to see folks using profanity with the filter on.

    Specifically to report people. I get great joy out of the banning of uncouth folk.

    If you're reporting people for saying swear words, with or without the filter on, you really need to think about your life lol. Blizzard doesn't do shit about "mature language" (they do care about harassment. But that can easily be done without a word being censored.) so you'd just be complaining because you want to get someone in trouble for pointless stuff.

    Pretty much word for word what I was going to say.
    Don't understand why anyone would ask this question.
    Do you get upset every time some one swears at you IRL?

    If so: Fuck shit piss.
    Sorry.

    I'm a roleplayer, and it's always been jarring to immerse myself and have a random string of characters bleeping out swears. Kills me when I see that shit in comic books.
    Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!

    Because I'm a big boy who can handle a few naughty words. Mostly though, I've just found that my brain picks the worst possible thing to put in the bleeped part of sentences, so I'd rather just see what they really said.

    Because in my language they censor the "eved" in relieved. Seriously, what the hell?

    Because other people deserve to have their words be able to spread.

    I'm curious about what people are saying. I can pretty much guess with it turned on anyway. I find them a regular part of society now, they're just words.

    I couldn't understand myself with **** every other word.

    Language is man made, arbitrary and doesn't mean anything.

    I would have liked for it to just replace swears with random words.
