Some people, I've noticed, have said that no matter where you are, there will be swearing somewhere in that place.
This is actually somewhat correct, however merely the fact that people will cuss where it is not appreciated just shows how inconsiderate some can be. But, it does happen, and as seemed to have been taken into consideration by some members, a filter does seem neccesary. But that won't stop people that really have vile ways of spelling, will it? So Kovu decided not to put in a filter, and likely will not in near future, or perhaps never.
Nevertheless I would really like it if some people knew when and where the right place is to cuss. I'm not saying people should cuss, but if it is merely your manner of speech picked up from other sites or other people, and you simply have the tendacy to do it, not purposely offensively but simply because the people in your former group did not mind it, doesn't mean that FeralHeart will be the same for you. Some people have mentioned some children being 'more mature'. Let me just tell you that cussing doesn't make you mature. I'm eleven, and admittedly I'm Mr. Potty-Mouth on sites that don't care as much, such as tumblr. Other kids in my class will cuss to (it seems to be a tendacy picked up by a lot of kids in our generation, which I find unfortunate). They're the pratical opposite of 'mature' because they cuss and joke about ridiculous things.
And sometimes its younger kids on here that swear, most of them older though, of course.
Let me just say that if you're truly 'mature', you would not be swearing on a family-friendly game, where the rules state that vile language should not be in used- often or not.
Now I've never minded things like the occasional 'damn' or 'hell'- take note of the word occasionally, simply because one of them is not considered a bad word by all, and the other one is ridiculously subtle and unlike some of the much worse swears, does not hold as much of a vile meaning.
Whether it's said jokingly, in-character, or seriously and it's in a public place where you know that people will mind, you shouldn't do it. It's pratically the same as wearing an offensive shirt to a public place. People will mind, and because they mind you shouldn't wear it. Even if it's one person, that one person matters, and their distaste towards your language should be taken into consideration and acknowledged.
