due to doofys semi-famous swearing thread. could it be possible, if one chooses, to turn off the filtering in the forums? each user would have the ability to turn on and off the filter when wanted, and the people with the filter on would just see ****; and thepeople with it off would see the actual word.

thank you

*asking because I'd love to know what half the posts are.

It wouldn't have done you any good with my posts in that thread, since I actually typed the **** out manually.

One of the main reasons that the filter is here is due to a lot of underage children that use these boards. It the ability to turn the filter on/off was allowed by the user, then that could end up with some nasty emails to the admins from someones parent.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.
