Honestly, I think that a swear filter is quite frankly the silliest idea in which to be implemented in graal. True, it does prohibit profanity, but there are always loopholes around it, and it also does get in the way of certain words that are not profane at all. An example I’ve seen is “roo***p.” The only thing a swear filter is showing is that a majority of the community lacks the capacity to present themselves in a decent manner; therefore it’s sad that one would have to be used at the cost of Moon Goddess’ leave from something she loved to do. But as I said, swear filter or not, there will always be some form of harassment that will be there, as well as people who will try to look cool to get around it. So I say no. Regardless the good intention behind it, it’s just not really worth the trouble to add one. But I also, I don’t think that people should go unpunished when they are being crude.

Crime = Punishment
