To all the mods, rather than quoting you all... As enforcer's of the house rules, I don't really think you need to defend FD's house rules, as mentioned, their house, their rules.
I'd be curious as to reasons (technical, legal, and/ or otherwise) as to the possibility of an "opt out" option. As an example, back in my Xbox Live days, I do remember there being an "open" area where you could pretty much say what you wished. I'm fairly confident this would still be the case.
Regardless, I think the mod team, generally speaking, do a good job of keeping the house in order. I'd like to see a little more ownership in terms of decisions made by mods, but this isn't the thread/place for that discussion.
It's a slippery slope, and hard to draw a line, but a line is a must. It's very hard to disagree with your point. I still do find it difficult to understand the extremity of the in-game filter, when I can't even name my Federal Assault Ship an Assault Ship without the stars blanking it out. And yet, my Anaconda's name, The Golden [censored]™ (and no, it's not a swear word, or even offensive, a little childish, perhaps...) , has no issue being visible in game, and yet, someone did find it offensive on the forums (after nearly two years in my sig, mind you...).
I just find the various filters, and individual standards, can be highly variable... Basically, I'm the sort of person that likes consistency.
