I had always wondered if using a letter to represent an obsenity was agaist the rules, as we see alot of it in the forums. But it is confusing when you allow BA or other words as long as their not directed at someone.
I always felt that it was wrong, but failed to report for fear of getting a false report warning.
Perhaps there should be a list that we all can find with the words and phrases that can't be used. If such a list exists where do we find it?
I have often wrote a reply that never got passed. For some word that I don't know what it was. If I had a list to refer to I could rewrite my post in the correct fashion. |

| The rule is that any form of expression, irregardless of censorship or symbolism, that is used to censor or represent a swear word not on the lesser known list of allowed swears, is a bannable offense. |

Profanity is based on its usage. Its why BA isn't bad because its just saying something is cool. But if you were to, say, call someone an A without the B, that would be profanity because it would be directly calling someone something bad and mean. So basically its about usage.
Of course some words will never be allowed to be used even if you don't think that they are that bad. So I always recommend that you be careful with the wording of your language.
And when reporting someone, don't worry too much. If youre not sure, you still ought to report it. Better safe than sorry. |

"Obsenity" Did you mean profanity?
"in the fear of getting a false report" learn to live a little pal, a false report isn't going to kill you
anyway reporting is generally not even worth your time.

@SlingshotJunkie, 'Its why BA isn't bad because its just saying something is cool.' By that logic, would me saying "that's F'ing amazing!" be acceptable? |

| @Usmckabar, that would probably be one of those thats borderline regardless of context that I mentioned. Then again, we do have an admin named Effword. But still, I would be careful using it. ROBLOX is, after all, a kids game. |

Technically it is as it is not insulting people, it's just telling something cool.
But if you hate someone and you insult them by saying "F", it is not acceptable.
Great example when you are playing a recently hot game (Not really now), called Roblox Theft Auto, people always say the "F" word when they are shocked a bomb is behind the car, but notice they do not get banned. (People do get banned even if the chat got Hashtags).

@SlingshotJunkie,
'ROBLOX is, after all, a kids game'
Which is exactly why you shouldn't use Profanity at all. But it's not like kids who play ROBLOX don't know any bad words..

| Why is the A word not filtered by chat/forums if it is profanity? |

@Simple,
I wonder that myself. I don't think 'Damn' is either.

I don't want to find ways of swearing.
I want to know why a post won't pass , all because of one word. But the word isn't giving so you don't know what word to correct. I try to help someone but can't say certain words and you don't tell us what was wrong. I want to see this list. You guys have one or the program for censoring wouldn't work.
I truely think this should be something that the public can find anytime they need to repair a helpful forum reply. |

What's BA supposed to mean for the B.A Bunny anyway? A lot of people think it means *Insert swear here* but since this is a kids game let's be real here, what is it supposed to mean Mods? |

Some people can be asses and use the word 'ass' to insult others.
The word badass and ass have been allowed as long as they are not used in a way to defame, or otherwise slander someone.

Exactly. BA, in its real form, is the highest compliment you can give someone or something.
The reason the staff don't say it when live is because children could be watching.

I'm not looking for legal swearwords.
I would like to correct bad posts. So that helping people isn't a violation. |

Ok you guys are not understanding this at all. Or you're just trying to troll me.
I type a helpful answer for someone in BH, I hit post but get the bad words used page. Nowhere on the page does it tell you what word is bad. How do you correct something if you don't know what it is. |
