I figure I've been fair enough with the "hey, please flag it" posts, I shouldn't need to post a reminder every page.
Sorry about that, if you're referring to me.
Why don't they just put in a word filter here? Every other family-oriented site I know of has one. And if the naughty words are going to be allowed with a flag, why not just allow them period?
It really doesn't make any sense if you think about it, to conditionally allow "adult" words as long as a flag is there. If the naughty words might be offensive to someone, they're going to be offensive, flag or no, and if it's acknowledged that flagging is a problem, while the words are allowed, either the flags should go or the words should be filtered out.
