Why have a profanity filter option if you're gonna ban people for swear words?

Thing is... does the in-game communication require swear words or "severe foul language" ?
It's a PEGI-7 title after all and there's some restrictions coming along with that.
PS.
My only gripe would be some CMDR Names I've seen.
Made me wonder how on earth some of those ever passed a Filter, seen some seriously nasty ones throughout the years.

I don't see why it can't; responding to an insult with an insult.If it was me, I'd simply claim that calling another CMDR a coward was RPing.
Responding to that using rude words can't be defended in the same way.
The same exchange happened in Mr and Mrs Smith (2005).
John calls Jane chicken faeces, Jane responds by calling him a cat. (@ Mod: Not attempting to by-pass censor here; change or let me know to change if you not happy with it)
Seems fair.
Thats it there.
This has already been explained to you multiple times now. You are just ignoring the answer.
Its there for the benefit of others in case they come across someone like you. Not so you can freely swear as much as you want.
Holy crap dude I have! It's been posted like 5 times.
Just because it's a rule doesn't make it right.
Also for the millionth time, TURNING THE FILTER OFF SHOULD FORFEIT YOUR RIGHT TO REPORT PEOPLE FOR LANGUAGE
I doubt there's anything ban-worthy in simply using antagonistic language that could reasonably be excused as RPing.
The same could not be said of using an overtly vulgar phrase in response.
Gotta use a bit of savvy if you want to be edgy.
No it makes it a RULE, which you need to adhere to or face the consequences.. If you think the servers are a democracy, you're very much mistaken.
To negate any impact the profanity filter might have on regular words such as "cockpit" etc?
Well no duh my guy.
This forum is also a place where we can discuss rules and sometimes get fdev to change them.
You could just play in SOLO / PG instead if the nasty trolls are spoiling your fun...
So you can see the source texts and use that to report with evidence. Pretty obvious, no?
That's a very obscure use of the filter which doesn't apply to any other game in the world, to my knowledge.
In every game I've played that had a filter, it's there to hide swear words if some people don't like to see them, nothing more nothing less.
And to think I used to be a carebear. Never before have I seen such spiteful, nasty gloating such as this from even the worst ganker.
Dear FDev,
Please change your PEGI 7 game so I can use 18 rated language without consequences when the profanity filter is disabled.
Yours sincerely, I. B. Nutz.
Since you are stepping out of the game environment, try your hypothesis about being able to freely question and protest against the rules next time you get pulled over by the police for speeding, I am sure they will enjoy the debate!
Yeah but the question was why it might be optional.
The answer is that it was made optional because people complained that it censored words unnecessarily.
Discuss them, sure. Ask for changes, sure. Is that what we are doing here? It feels more it started off as a gripe session rather than a legitimate open discussion about game policy (although I think the current policy is just fine).
And make no mistake, the game is run not by committee or popular vote (so its not any form of democracy). Its run in the form of a benevolent dictatorship that listens to the people, and then makes decisions based on what "they" think is best. Often against the wishes of the loud minority/most active members (for good or bad). FD owns everything, and makes their decisions based on what they think will keep the game going (even if those are not popular choices for some).
Why wouldn't it be? Some people don't mind profanity.
But just because some people don't mind it doesn't mean you can freely do it.
