Suggestion = Get rid of censorship, Not like major censors for F#^& and such, But seriously what kid on here is allowed to play a game with gore (blood) and voilince (guns, shooting) and massive amounts of combat yet there still sensitive to the word a ss?
Thats severly stupid. If you don't play pawn because theres swearing, you shouldn't play pawn at all. This isn't spongebob squarepants rainbow land barney adventure, This is Pawn.

lmao at your opinion on pawn..
this game is not bloody at all, just little spots come out when shot. BIG DEAL
and massive combat? LOL since when might i ask?
aand... spongebob>pawn. :D
well, i think they should stay.
they don't harm anyone, and they are not to make the game seem childish.
and that's what we have PM's for that don't block swearing, just enjoy those when you get them.

I'm not going to /msg (Randomname that I have to look at to remember because it's got 6 letters in it) just so I can cuss them out.
Spongebob is not cooler then Pawn, And shame on the fat nerdy emos who try to make people think it's cool for people over 8+ to like it just like pokemon games.
The little spots indicate that you have just lodged a small wedge of metal into a part of your enemies body and they are now spurting a small amount of blood because of it, this is considered gore.
I have been in a game match that would be called massive combat, 5/5 all in ONE PART OF THE MAP with P90s and MKs and Deagles and shotguns. Only thing that could make that even more combat like is if we were dropping air strikes on each other and riding tanks.

I agree. Kids like that shouldn't even BE on Pawn! Pawn is about Guns and wars and.. secs. :O No one saw that. <.< >.>

Hey, I said heavy in combat. Not guns and blood.
And I didn't say the MAXIMUM in combat either, I said heavy in combat, THE GAME IS FREAKING BASED AROUND COMBAT, THATS ALL YOU DO IS FIGHT, THERES NO HIGHER COMBAT THEN JUST FIGHTING 100% OF THE TIME.

Well, this isn't like COD, or Battlefront or Halo with ALOT of blood and gore. But we're trying to cut down of swearing so we can get more users. It's like Club Penguin, nice staff, good swear filter (little children play it, so duh). RuneScape has crappy swear filter and "Snitch" report. You get bannd for getting snitched by a user. rofl.

If this game becomes anything like club penguin, I think more members will be lost then gained. No one wants to play a shooting game were 90% of the players arn't even out of 4rth grade.
If you want my opinion, the whole concept of curse words doesn't make sense...they're no different than any other word, they can be used as adjectives, adverbs, nouns, etc. The only thing that sets them apart is that they're mainly used to use a severe tone.
Why does society look down upon people who curse? I don't know. Curse words are just another way to express one's opinions. The way I see it, the only reason society disapproves of them is because society says we should.

No, The only reason society disapproves of them is because of morality, which was invented by old religion (Different to new religion) and it stuck with us since. So old religion (Not new religion) is partially to blaim.

So society disapproves of curse words because it's tradition. That's as useless as if there were no reason.
We don't live in the time of friggin crusades. This is the modern world. People are more open-minded. Many people are not religious. Yet we hang onto these stupid traditions and superstitions.

this game isnt very "gory"
violent yes, but the idea is NOT to instil the idea into people heads "hey lets go get our forks and knives and have a team death match"
if you give a 5 year old Grand Theft Auto 4, since his brain still says "awaiting instuctions" he is going to think, its ok to kill police people
cencorship in the game is nessesary because Swearing and flaming ISNT REQUIRED AT ALL, i once saw a moderator in COD4 which is WAY more gory and violent than this, because one stupid mad player said "im going to look up your name and F-in kill your entire F-in family" so the moderator banned him

The administrator has made it clear that censorship will not be debated. Although not very logical, he is the head of the game and he can do whatever he wants.
In my opinion... seeing as how the words are censored, you should not be able to be infracted for saying them.
When you try to get around them, that is when you should get infracted.
So...
I vote for an option that allows you to turn the filter on and off.
If you want to see them, fine. If you don't, thats fine aswell.

We can't swear because it's advertised on CMG.
Which is focused towards younger kids.

I have to agree with this. It states clearly when you register that you are supposed to be 13 or older when you join Pawn, and last time I checked, PG-13 movies may contain cussing. Every teenager has heard a variety of cuss words before and, correct me if I'm wrong, your teenage years are usually the years when you cuss the most. If we removed the censorship less parents would let their small children play Pawn, causing less spam and childish flaming. Oh, and one last point, doesn't the censorship just make certain people want to cuss more? I mean, they see the rules and when it says no cussing the first thing those people think is "OMGROFLMAO IM GUNA SPAM CUS WERDZ BEKUZ ET WIL BEE FUNNEH LOL!!!!1!" Disagree? Make the word applesauce against the rules. In a matter of days people will be saying a lot and just trying to get around the censor by saying things like app le sau ce.

If the mods didn't have to waste their time kicking someone every time they see *'s in chat, maybe they would have more time to moderate PT.

We do hear it all day, people just put spaces in between to get around the censor. If there wasn't a censor there people wouldn't say it as much because it wouldn't be "sooper awesom beecoz i am braken da rools!".

Most people are idiots too I doupt they would mind being cussed out it would probably get them off. As for children, who wants them they whine there unskilled and they ruin the game because they won't stop calling people a noob everytime they die.

yet they say not to use the lords name in vain, which is what most people do if they yell "holy S" or "jesus christ" or "go to hell" anything in there is deemed "vain" to the lord, supposedly
