Well in the Official RS Forums there was a thread on censoring and one person suggested that instead of the ******** it appears as other words: like the F word they use fluffy.
I think that is a good idea.

way back in the day when Jagex first implemented the filter (you know they used to not have a filter at all?) instead of *** it always came up as cabbage. sometimes it was pretty hilarious "cabbage off you cabbagehead!"

I think they should just censor the real words and rely on good people to report those who try and get around them.

I think maybe because someone could ask for your ip. If you know what that is, its not a problem, but if you dont, and someone says;

"What does the red writing say on the top of your screen when you log in?"

You could accidently let loose your ip. Not a very good idea. You could get hacked, not just runescape, but everything.

*dont tell anyone your ip*

o ok...ic.. but the that is annoying a lot of times.

Anubis · **Posted:** December 22nd, 2005, 4:58 pm

I do think that the censor is there for a good reason. We do have to understand that young people do play the game, and try to find ways past the censor. Which it why things like "2k until level up" and "Need 1k exp till 60 prayer" Are censored.

I do think that some things should have the option of being un-censored, just because it is really inconvenient when sending messages to freinds to only have it all censored. It makes me feel nooby when that happens. Especially when its along the lines of - ok, np. (why is that censored??)

Some things should stay censored, like the repetitive numbers.. and un-necessary swear words... yer, there are a lot of them, some dont need uncensoring. lol.

jagex's censor sucks you cant even type "nats i" , as in: "after i make these nats i am going to use them," and the word they are trying to censor there is nazi! god. jagex should put an option that can turn the filter off
yay that was my rune member post!

Taybob · **Posted:** December 29th, 2005, 11:34 pm
