Re: Profanity in the CB/Nodes

However, if some-one should choose NOT to want to see such profanities, should we not allow them that priveledge?

Noone is preventing your from closing your eyes, nor does anyone ban you from installing nanny-software on your own box.

What would the community feel about a filter that when you clicked the "create" button for a node or the "Talk" button for the CB the text was piped through a filter which replaced some letters of the offending word? This functionality could be switched "ON" in the user settings, but would be off by default. (e.g. s/shit/s**t/) etc.

Great idea! Make sure it includes the words I find offensive: god, guns, children, George W. Bush.
