Hey all,

Recently, RuneScape has made it possible to disable the censor in game.

We at RuneForums have decided that the community is mature enough to handle the censor being disabled here as well. So therefore, most of the words are removed from the censor -- the major exception are words that are used mostly by spambots. So, if you have a valid reason to be discussing the names of anti-depressants, you may still be caught by the censor.

Please note that this does NOT change our policy on respect. Disrespecting another member, whether you use curse words or not, will still end with your account in a bad place.

Happy 'Scaping!

Lets see how people use this.

I've seen maybe three total posts on these forums that have used anything that was censored before, so honestly, I don't see it making too much of a difference. We mostly have a mature group who doesn't need to argue.

It's more of a formality really lol.

[Dave]

Yeah, there could possibly be little kids making accounts on this just like on runescape lol.

Nice, nice .. But honestly I don't think there's a use for some words, so I hope you still have the curses that really can only be used in an inappropriate manner still on your censor list.

Racial slurs and some of the "really bad" ones are still on

Good to hear.

Meh, I don't even swear a lot. Although, it is nice to know that I'm considered "mature". xD

[Sadisticist]

I swear sometimes, and I sometimes also nearly post these on the forums, but that's usually due to frustration. I hope you guys won't mind

[Teady159]

Everyone gets frustrated. As long as you don't break the rules you'll be fine.

I think the 'f word' should still be censored, if it's not still. This word is not needed for the forums in my opinion. Something like "I don't give a damn" is fine with me though

F bomb is still censored
