Looks like some people have been told off or banned in the past because of their language here...
More to the point of the thread. Voted "no". I think the reason here should be fairly obvious. PWO has always been PG for...obvious reasons.
You told me yourself you dislike the no swearing rule Jinji. A five year old kid can look up beheading videos and snuff films .. we should be happy they are playing Pokemon instead of making fertilizer bombs..
Saying that children can find worse elsewhere is an absolutely asinine argument. Sure they can find worse.
If they look. The best PWO can do is minimize the exposure to that.
Like I get you may want to curse. I get that it might be part of your natural vocabulary. Just do it somewhere else then instead of whining and moaning about a rule that you don't personally like.
Not allowing cursing hurts everybody. Unoffensively cursing hurts nobody.
Not allowing cursing hurts nobody. I'm sorry your feelings are hurt over that you can't use a few words. The world is unfair I know.
I can tolerate the word filter but the sissy-boy policing/"moderation" with threat of the ban-hammer drives me mental.
People don't just get banned for cursing or using offensive language. This doesn't and has never happened. Take it from someone who's been banned for this sort of thing in the past, it's always because of whatever else is with it. Arguing. Flaming. Name calling. You're not gonna get banned for dropping a few curse words. You're going to get muted or kicked sure, but beyond that unless it's excessive/you've been warned, nothing is going to happen.
And FYI if you can't formulate an argument without insulting the other parties, you're bad at arguing.
