Why are swear words filtered on this website?

If I wanna say e.g. Jordan Mutch played like utter f***ing dogs*** the filters don't stop anyone knowing what I actually meant?

We all swear and know what each other mean despite the asterisk.

Is there a good reason behind this or would it be something others would like to see changed too>?

Swearing shouldn't be necessary on an internet forum and I would prefer to see circumventing the swear filter punishable by a yellow card.

I swear as much as the next man but not in front of kids or places that kids could be reading

I'd like the swear filter to stay Not because I don't swear. I do from time to time. It's nice to get a rest from it. As many around me struggle to speak without swearing.

There are more creative ways to describe players.
Eg "Jordan Mutch played like Wayne Andrews' left leg."

So I'd get a yellow for saying scunthorpe!!!!

I've no idea how this software works as I think that it's home made but it probably works on the basis of blacklists and whitelists that need to be manually updated.

i like the fact that Bollocks is not considered to be swearing!

What a load of Bollocks!
