ocular rewritten

so, most people know that ST don't consider certain words to be swear words (see TOLORS), including damn and crap. my suggestion to remove the old forum filter for consistency, since it only censored 2 words (damn and crap, which I am using bypasses here for as it'd become * and *), just got rejected, although the wording of the suggestion is quite confusing. does it mean it is punishable to say those 2 words on the forums, even though they have been explicitly allowed, or do ST just want to make it less convenient to do?

Yes tbh i think st is just being lazy /j

From previous cases, I believe that while you can say those 2 words, you cant bypass them, and as the forum filter prevents you from saying them without a bypass, no, you are physically incapable of saying them.

(I think it was because saying it with a bypass would share methods of bypass or something)

I hate to be that person but source?

People bypass all the time (like in the OP) with no issues.

As far as I'm aware, it is not allowed to try to bypass the forum filter in an attempt to say these words (or any other words blocked by the forum filter).

They shouldn't be. I don't have a source, but I've seen users get alerted for doing this before.

I do have a quote from Paddle2See saying he wouldn't prefer it - but not an actual ban on it.
