Censorship
Few things annoy me more than censorship. Please remove the b.union word filter. It violates the free-speech of the nations using this forum.

The character Andreas the Wise is on indefinite leave. But he does deserve a cool war ribbon.

Re: Censorship
first off, what was even filtered?
second, if this forum is anything like our old one, you can personally turn it off for yourself in your profile.
EDIT: Gralus does actually have a 'free speech' clause, but you'd never be able to argue that a word filter violates that, as our laws are purely IC. Plus, when used correctly, word filters can be rather amusing.

Re: Censorship
The word bunion, which is a contraction of Bastion Union which some people like, and some people (like me) don't like.

Re: Censorship
Oh, no, you can't censor a silly thing like that. Just tell people not to use it. What's wrong with just calling it 'Bastion?'

Re: Censorship
I'm actually quite fond of "bunion", actually
Re: Censorship
Because "Bunion" is fun. I generally keep it out of serious discussions concerning Bastion, though.

Re: Censorship
Shireroth's law dictates that certain names be censored. Those laws are now harder to enforce due to this union.

Re: Censorship
Personally, I have no objection to those names still being censored. Especially given you can turn off the word censor and nobody else is using it yet ...

Re: Censorship
Well, I do. Prosecute people in Shireroth if they say Jesmer. You have laws, you have courts, you can do it if you want. Leave the rest of the world out of it.
Re: Censorship
This is actually rather similar the problem we had when we first formed Gralus, and Novatainia had various posting laws. Basically, we decided that they have jurisdiction in their own forum sections, but not anywhere else.
