There are a lot of words on helpbots ban programming. First a warning, then a ban. i think it would be nice to put all the bannable words on the rules forum. Edited of course but enough to were you know what the word is so that way you can make sure you don't say any of them. Also if the word crap if allowed as a word i believe so should p*ssed... i honestly have no idea why that is a banned word but crap isn't.... someone explain that one to me please. But anyways back on topic. A list of bannable words would be awesome and if you post them on the official rules, at least message me all the bannable words please :)

(yes i do know ]bannable' isn't a word for all of you grammar correctors out there)

People can just not use profanity and should be OK. If they manage to stumble upon a swear accidentally, the server warns them. That's what the warning is for.

No.

There are words on there that most people don't find to be profanity. The one i stated above is no a profanity word but crap is. no one refers to poop as crap. So why would crap be ok and the word i stated above not..... there are 5 words that aren't abbreviations that i can think of that are on the list and that should be on the list. The rest i don't know what they are and why they are even on the list to begin with and i would like to know.

Crap - not very good, a load of junk lying around, has several different uses.
The other you used is most likely because it contains the word for, well, number 1's :P

Swearing isn't allowed on the forums either so the chance of having a defined list is slim to zero.
To be fair a lot of words considered swears are perfectly accpetable as everyday words in Aus, as are others in other countries.
It still doesn't change the fact they are words that in all honesty are used due to lack of a better vocabulary.

Edit: you got banned again didn't you *facepalm*

crap is number 2...... the word i stated above is number 1..... and has different uses as well........ its not even profanity..... crap is used more as profanity than the word i stated above.... in fact i don't even think you can use the word i stated above in a cursing manner.... its just another word to say you are mad... when you are reallllllyyyy mad.

(edit) yes i did.. for typing gibberish aka ljgflagtlaukfpiuahfpuahpuihepufah. which is why i want a list of the bannable words so when i type kjaehfah;flhlfjah;l i can make sure its not ;jhafkjahpufhaupi or jahsufha;ksuha -_-

Give the poor keyboard a break there Ari.
The swear filter was designed with basically one concept in mind- to keep profanities from our children. While crap appears to be an exception to that, that doesn't mean we should therefore justify words that are used as a very angry exclamation or generally have a negative connotation.
Consider it this way: If some 11-year-old kid's mother saw it on his screen, either from him or someone else, would they be happy? My guess is not really. This is designed to protect the younger element of our server, and if you can't handle keeping your mouth clean then you don't belong here where children will pick up and copy your use of swears.

TL;DR Don't swear. It's better for the children that way.

Good day, sir.

This will kinda tell people the different loopholes. There are some swears that aren't in the swear filter that almost no one knows about. No. You get warned, then banned, just don't use any stupid and/or retarded words.

As an avid fan of Transformers Prime, I have adopted the common replacement: "Scrap." :P

Course we all know crap is a gambling term as well.
