We're not debating swearing on RAFO; that's not going anywhere (at least, I hope not). We're debating whether we should have the ability to proudly say, "This site HAS no language filter", which seems a pretty small thing for which to sacrifice dozens or perhaps hundreds of potential members. Put another way: Which do you think RAFO needs more right now, new blood, or the ability to write "shit" instead of "shit"?
To be honest, if the alternative to writing shit is an influx of underage americans, keep the shit flowing.
*shrugs* I'm resigned to RAFOS slow but steady evacuation; no skin off my nose. As the underage Americans say, "It's your funeral.... "

I figured,but checking for filter subroutines seems like it would be pretty easy.

Subroutines such as what?

Well, honestly, I don't know, but I expect language filter subroutines are pretty standardized now.

The point is that there is nothing that a browser* will see of such a filter unless...

All I can say to that is that people who think cursing on RAFO/WoTmania corrupts the youth

Who cares about the cursing. In other ways wotmania did probably corrupt me, though.
