    Damn it, I just can't handle the chat censoring.
    I once said:" have they censored the word d@mn?", and it said....
    wor* *@**....
    Like wot.

    I don't think it is a necesarry swear word, and I myself don't like it being censored.
    Now you can't even say for thug like 'damn good fight' or even 'damn son, you did well' on any of the servers.

    It is not a bloody swear word in my opinion, it can't even be abused.

    I don't mind it at all. Cursing by its nature is simply profane and unnecessary. I am quite confident I can express any manner of thought without resorting to crude commentary. Besides, words have a meaning. Words can hurt. Words can even kill. Yes "its just a game". . .but you don't know people in their shoes. I myself went through depression when I was younger. I found no real point in life, it was just a routine. Nothing was fun, but it wasn't boring. It was just empty. Purposeless. I honestly think if I had not been turned around, if I had been told to kill myself, I might have considered it.
    Words have power. It brought me to my knees in life, and they brought me back to standing tall. Yeah I get that its "just words" or that it "pales in comparison to what other people say" and that "you not telling them to hurt themselves". . .but it doesn't make it right. It never will.

    You say that it's not needed to have it censored.
    I say that it's not needed to have it not censored. Get what I mean?
    Does it make the chat better? I don't think so..
    Why not just leave it as it is?

    Maybe they could unblock it, but block it if it becomes a problem like "Hack or "nube"

    I think having it censored or not censored does not really matter. If you would like to say damn good job bro or anything in that manner you can just use /msg The word does not bother me but I mean apparently they have it censored for a reason.

    If you can not handle one word being censored I would advise learning some new ones.

    I agree, but also sometimes the censorship plugin acts funny like sometimes I just type in a normal sentence and it censore some random word... Probably thinking I'm trying to use a swear word or something.

    I think it should be unblocked because it isn't a hard-core curse word, like the other words.

    Until we can have a adjustable chat censor level per player, I think it's fine leaving it censored.

    Leet speak for "ass".

    Really, I doubt a young kid would know what that'd stand for. Tbh, I even thought it was just a set of random numbers.

    But why was the word censored in the first place? I myself haven't seen anyone use it besides me :V

    It's considered a curse word to many children. Our main demographic is 10-16 year olds, so we try to keep the server as clean as possible. Besides, it's a filler word in nearly all cases.

    It's a generalized filter. Protects against things like f@gg0t.
