racial slurs other than [censored]

The thing is that basically nobody uses "h0mo" as an insult. It's almost always got enough ironic content that I can't imagine people being offended. I'd think that's a safe enough word to un censor.

I agree with what Mat said earlier in this thread. There just doesn't seem to be any need for people to use "h0mo" by itself. Gay is still (correctly, IMO) uncensored, and people use that as an insult every day. I'm not sure that I understand the reasoning behind giving another option.

Is not being able to say h0mo really a big deal to people?


Before I became a a mod, one of my first posts about moderation was about how I thought the profanity filter was silly and unnecessary. But I understand the reasoning behind it at this point.

Now it seems silly to me that people would care about not being able to call someone a h0mo without it being censored. But if you guys can convince me that removing it from the censored list would be good for the site, I will change it.
