And I see other sites, fora, etc. with equivalent or higher densities (even assuming that all *****ed out words are the "worst" that would fit that length) of profanity in Google search results routinely, so I don't see any evidence that we would surpass any such hidden thresholds, even assuming that they do.

I understand your logic; I just think your premise that we would be restricted in search results if the filter were removed is wrong.


Whatever... No, I'm not going to show you where Google says anything. I do not receive add revenue from Google and I don't remember the specific terminology used when I did manage such things.

I do not believe that we would be restricted in search results if the filter were removed however, I maintain that site content and policies regarding content affect ad revenue in the long run.

I don't give a rats *** one way or another but I have seen threads degrade into garbage just based on the verbiage used in the title. So a filter is a good thing in that regard. It reduces the ********.
