Dear Forum Users, Moderators, and Administrators,

I would like to be able to write D i c k e n s, Charles without being censored. I find it hard to come up with a good reason for censoring this name for any reason, especially considering the recommendation of the age needed to play your games (15, (fifteen)).

Eagerly awaiting an answer,

"tjosan"

    I personally find his books incredibly hard to read. They're just boring. Find a better author, maybe a newcomer. Perhaps Patrick Rothfuss or Jack McDevitt?

    The only ######ens I've read is Great Expectations, and I rather enjoyed it.

    ouch, my tender eyes <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" /> mods, ban this man for blatant bypassing of the swear filter! Also for dragging through the mud the good name of Charles Penisens. People on these forums are tarnishing the names of every Tom, Penis, and Harry they can think of. Who's next? Penis Clark? Penis van Lesbian?

    you're just going to get told that the current people knocking about didn't make the swear filter and aren't going to change it, despite it being awful, despite seventy-four years of downtime. and all the sake of those peeps who think of themselves as taking the moral high ground when arguing over the internet and genuinly get offended by swears.

    and despite the overzealous filter, anyone can bypass any word if they want to, ==CH4RL35 D1CK3N5ED==

    ben-style rant, out.

    That would probably be better PMed to Mouse or Comprox

    The sarcasm doesn't really help

    Penis van Dyke was awesome in Mary Poppins. Apart from the Lawwndan accent.

    Sorry, was that on or off topic?
