Profanity Filter...whats the %%@!ing point?

#0 - Oct. 25, 2006, 12:53 p.m.

I'm honestly curious why there is an option to have a profanity filter enabled or not, while then when you speak "profane or obscene" language you are warned on those actions. Does anyone else feel it makes no sense at all? And since there is a filter available why are certain words not "allowed" to be said even tho there is a filter available to everyone?

I'm at a loss as to why this issue continues to resurface every couple of weeks, but for the record (and this proverbial "record" of which I speak can be found at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html ), the profanity filter is installed as a protective barrier around those who wish not to see the words deemed "profane" under any circumstances, not as a license to go around swearing.

If you are caught using profanity, filter on or not, your Account can and will be actioned according to our Game Masters' policies. This issue is not up for debate; please let the matter rest.
