It doesn't matter, people would bypass it anyway.JML897
That's what I was thinking. So there's no need to change it.

On GS, nobody is inclined to be mature like in real life.wemhim
I kind of resent that. I strive to mature and thoughtful in all aspects of my life.

Well, what I mean is, by inclined, they have no real motivation, except for pure decency. So, for example, I'm respectable of others here, am I inclined to? No, I just respect others, in real life, there's an actual motivation besides being respectable, here, the only reason to is if you are actually a nice person, not to leave an impression or whatever. That's why I'm nice and mature, I don't feel the need to bully others and insult them, which doesn't have any positive affect on me, but naturally, I just choose to respect them. A lot of others however, see that it's just the Internet, so they'll insult others. Almost like crime, some people might go around beating the fudge out of others, but since it's illegal, they won't. Where as others, they won't, even if it was legal, because they're just nice. On the internet, you can get away with being an arse, but some don't feel the need to be rude to others. In real life, you can't get away as easily, so people are more inclined to be a decent person.I think it should stay the same but having a part of site for people 18 and up would be cool.SOedipus

I don't really differentiate myself from one location to the other.I try to be like Atticus Finchin To Kill a Mockingbird: The same person in private that I am in public.

That's not the point. With a higher age restrictions....we'd be able to post whatever the f we want. I'd be able to finish that "f" properly.
It's not about age. It's CNET policy. Even ifwe were all 18 or above they could still restrict what we say. They are not obligated to restrict or scensor us now. It's just their rules.
I thought there should be a scensor option.Each user coulddecide weather he or she wantscertain words to appear scensored or unscensored.YOU CAN EVEN SET YOUR VERY OWN COPY OF WINDOWS to scensor words. A forum doesn't need to do it for you. You can enable it from your machine. Windows can do it for you.
You know what they told me? They told me nobody needs to see that stuff. So they are deciding what you can and cannot post. They need to scensor it but they feel NOBODY should see unscensored words. They don't think scensorship should be an option amongst each user.
You can reverse it. If windows can't there was a program that would unscensor sites that force scensorship upon all users. They were around back in the 90s. Which is funny because back in the 90's no one cared. Nothing was scensored.
