I believe Mat stated 2+2 refers it's business partners (book stoares) to the site and 2+2 wants a respetable site to be waiting for them.

"We" don't really have it. The site owners do,and since its their property they get to do what they want...sometimes without justifying it to those who frequent the site.

That said, I can think of some words that need to be added to the profanity filter for all other boards other than OOT:

Retard / Retards / Retarded
-Overused AND a high-probability indicator the poster is under 24. Last time I called someone a "retard" was in Middle School.

Donkey
-c'mon, is that the best you can do? Donkbet still fine.

Fish
-The newer you are to playing poker, the more likely you're using this term regularly

So when people say [censored] and [censored] it is easy to see if they are a smart idiot or just a regular idiot by the way they beat the filter.
