Annoyances III – Swear filters

I’ve yet to experience one that has been able to get the balance right between being overzealous and pointless. Probably because it that place doesn't exist.

You see, the problem with words is that they have many variations. Words are sometimes contained within words, or as I don't call it, the ‘Scunthorpe problem'.

Then you have custom filters. Like a game that bans words such as ‘noob’, for seemingly no reason.

As everyone knows, they are obviously easy to get round, by use of slightly altered words, spaces, non-letters or even hidden characters. Which is obviously is far better.

People make such an issue about swearing, and I fail to see why. Is it really the end of the world?

You cunt.
