Originally by: Wikipedia As of October 2006 the average age of an Eve Player was 27 of which 95% male, and 5% female. The average weekly playtime is 17 hours, or just under 2.5 hours per day.
Twenty seven? 27? As in... 6 years over the legal drinking age. As in 9 years over the legal smoking age. As in old enough to vote, old enough to die for their country, old enough to raise a family.
And yet... we're treated as children, why?
Originally by: George Carlin
There are 400,000 words in the English language and there are 7 of them you can't say on television. What a ratio that is. 399,993 to 7. They must really be bad. They'd have to be outrageous to be seperated from a group that large.
"All of you over here. You 7... Bad Words!"
That's what they told us they were, remember? "That's a bad word!" No bad words, bad thoughts, bad intentions, and words. You know the 7, don't you, that you can't say on television?
"Shit, ****, ****, ****, ****Sucker, Mother****er, and ****"
Those are the heavy seven. Those are the ones that'll infect your soul, curve your spine, and keep the country from winning the war.
"Shit, ****, ****, ****, ****Sucker, Mother****er, and ****"
Now, as I post this... I can imagine that several if not all of those were censored in some form or fashion.
He did a longer list... a bit over 200, that I'm sure would look even more like "***clown, ****sucker, Mongolian Cluster ****" and so on.
But tell me... how old are we? How little respect are we being shown... when we can't discuss a C-ckpit of a ship, because it'll get censored.
Even if someone is swearing... then leave it up to the forum community to deal with. They can easily report the offender, as I can imagine I'll wind up being reported for this before long. Or they can simply move on with their lives... because "colorful metaphors" are everywhere.
Please, CCP... treat us a teeny bit more like adults. Turn off this ******ed (whoops) filter.

Average age aside, kids do play EVE, which is rated T for Teen, and CCP probably don't want to have an unfiltered forum that would likely resemble places like 4chan given the downward slide they've suffered the last couple years. |

I agree that it is pretty ridiculous, especially when thinks like the German Guy with a moustache who invaded Poland are censored, but not shit. |

A bloody filter in general settings.
[ ] Check here to censor vulgarity
Which would be ticked by default.
And that's all. I couldn't agree more, it's an adult game, lets start acting like it.

Why exactly is swearing worse for kids than it is for adults? I don't understand this. How do swear words suddenly become worse when kids are using them?
Anyway, supported |

Oh no, kids reading swear-words! 
The imbeciles who decided to censor these letters, did they ever bother to think of what kids are exposed to in the media or around them in general? Getting teased for their appearance, weight, clothing, etc. - while being exposed to underweight role models and watching humanity eradicate itself because of political and religious ideologies.
No, we have to censor these words. Becasue clearly, those will be the end of our children.
Give me a ****ing break.

It depends what country you're in.
I thik it's because those are the words based on naughty thoughts which will corrupt the young and modern society as we know it. It's best to keep them censored.
Anyway, I'm off to see how my slaves are doing, blow up some ships (and their thousands of crew) watch some exotic dancers and take some boosters.
