Juliette posted a good reason for it not to be filtered. However, to request for a word banning, I think forum issues section fits more than this one.
Considering rudeness of said word, if it's hidden, people can use it as they wish and escape being warned for using it.

Problem is, those using it would get away with that, and call every person "n word" as they wish, protected by " **Filtered** " filtering.

I mean that if *all* rude words are filtered, like "idiot" being filtered as well, then we wouldn't know whether said person said "idiot" or the other word, which isn't the same use...

Also, it could be bypassed easily, and then, a word being not offensive at all, niger, would be considered as evading filter and give warnings. Furthermore, this act could be considered as "offensive" as it would consider Niger (Capital: Niamey) as a filter evading. "Niger,gri" also happens to mean black if not mistaken in latin.

Re: Nigger

The **filtered** protects the ignorant person using such words. Because we cant see what they wrote, So there are arguments for it either way. However I dont think it should be banned for now. I feel someone stupid enough to use this derogitory term should be banned from the forum board.

If we protect the said ignorant person by allowing them to use these words, they get away with what they have said, and isnt that a worse situation to be in.

No. It is either filtered, or a warnable profanity. It cannot be both, for the simple reason that we are not going to see what filth people want to sneak into their posts under the filter. What the filter doesn't catch, we warn for: n1gger, if nigger would be banned.
I am not the only one who sees the irony in a request to ban nigger(s) from the forum.

Besides, that only works with "edit", and that's something only the user themselves and the mod team can do.
