Hi everyone!!

Disclaimer: With this discussion post, I may be treading on thin water... please read this and consider what I am saying first before directly replying please ^_^.

Well I haven't been around the monastery for a LOT of time... but from what I have seen so far, and so on, I have noticed that in many questions here in the monastery, there is the occasional profanity that is really distastefull in my humble opinion. It really isn't a bad problem or anything yet, but I think that since there are young kids here, as well as older people, I believe that there should at least be some type of filter to blank out those 'distasteful' words. It really wouldn't be too difficult to create a search/filter item for the site to block these words out, and it could have a feature for the user to turn those words off or on. Mainly my reasons for this idea is due to the variety of age groups on here, and we should try our best not to offend people if possible. Also, all of that 'distasteful' language is already out there in the media, why do we need to bring it in here as well?? Thanks for your time, and please tell me what you think on this topic if you are for, or against this idea submission. ^_^
