Default If we're not allowed to use certain words on OnRPG

Why dont we just word filter them and THEN punish people for going around the system. I know this may be crazy talk and all but it is possible.

I mean I know why words are blocked and not allowed and such but me and certain others can't help but say them even if its not ment as an insult; gay is a good example of this. Not exactly like im screaming hate all homosexual people with that one word, I just use it for everything.

OT: World filter more words instead of just telling people over and over again with infractions and such?



Didn't know where to post this since i don't think we have a "Tell us what you want done" section.

Norrin if i use the apostrophe wrong please don't kill me

Banning words such as gay might be a bit rude and it can be seen as discrimination.

Depends on context.

Using the word gay as in reference to the gay community is not against the rules since it's not offensive.

Insulting someone and calling them gay and another terms that are offensive only when used as an insult is offensive, however, and Moderators will treat it the same way we do every offensive post we come across.
