You can still swear using text chat - just put spaces in between the letters of the offending word. Like f, u, c (you get the idea). Hardly a swear word because it's just a bunch of letters.

That's what I was getting at. Rather defeats the only defensible point of having a swear/unpleasantness filter.
I understand that some people don't like having to see or hear the words that other people use, and that it is apparently considered acceptable to block some of the forms of expressing some of the words that some of the people don't want to see or hear. But since it doesn't (and never can) truly work anyway, there's no reason to not simply have the filter as an option on the recieving end for people who do or do not wish to use it. That way, the one who feels uncomfortable hearing such horrible language as "disconnected" doesn't have to, and no one else needs to be bothered.
Yes, the PS3 and online services are open to minors to use with their parents' consent, but they are not restricted for use by minors only, so the "think of the children" argument doesn't really work. Unfortunately, the "our lawyers are afraid of people who might enjoy complaining and we don't want to spend a few extra minutes making things more pleasant for everyone" argument always does.
I'm sure I've said it before and I'll eventually say it again, until it doesn't need to be said.

For RX3, it's probably the X3 part. Z06 I don't know.

Can't understand why Z06 is censored.

They should just block words for users under a certain age! If a user is 12 for example, if I (being say, 30) type anything into the box it'll show up to anyone except that, or those, persons.
That would be, in my opinion, the best solution and stop this censorship madness! I can't type LSD? Really? They use that term in the game, com on!

Well it's a boobies emoticon!
I know, who in their right mind is going to type Limited Slip Differential with their controller/wheel? Nonsense!

I understand that, but, hey, free internet improvements is always a good thing anyways.
You could still call your ISP, "why is it so slow? I'm not paying for this garbage."

If i'm honest, I never knew that... I thought it was a face like a cat... I'm now currently looking back on all the people I have sent that to and all of them have horrified faces!

Came across a new one the other day. Can't say "tape-delay" as in the Rolex race this last weekend. We eventually narrowed it down to the "pe-de," after thinking it might be the "e-d" but that is allowed as are both words. Possibly a derivation of "pedo?" Not sure, but I don't see anything too similar in the recent list. I'm also not sure if we tried e-de or -de now that I think about it, but pe-d works.
^^ I never knew that was anything but a cat face myself.
