{{Ark|time=16:59, 1 August 2012 (UTC)|XJR-9=There is no way to proactively block profanity on <abbr title="Well, there is an optional module on some ircds, but not on freenode or, indeed, any of the other major networks.">IRC</abbr>. The only way would be to reactively punish use of pre-defined 'bad words' by implementing a bot that kicks users who use such words. Although I could implement such a bot without much difficulty, as Founder, I am ''not'' willing to do so as I feel that it would be too restrictive. <br>The old policies of forced PG-13 were far too restrictive and awkward to enforce, and were dropped for a reason. The old bot, NumberXVMoogle, which used to <abbr title="Adola, user said a curse word. The incident has been logged, and will be reported.">'report'</abbr> bad words, went offline more than one and a half years ago, and the channel's desire to enforce PG-13 waned shortly after. As it is, several of the current operators and staff members swear frequently, and I do not believe that any of the channel operators are willing to undertake the extra work required to enforce a PG-13 policy again. <br>The current policy is pretty much 'do not continue to discuss topics which other channel members have requested be dropped', and I see no reason to change that. Our channel is really quite tame, to be honest. <br>I would say that the problem is more domineering parents who try to over-protectively shield their children from what they perceive as bad things - otherwise known as reality.}} | {{Ark|time=16:59, 1 August 2012 (UTC)|XJR-9=There is no way to proactively block profanity on <abbr title="Well, there is an optional module on some ircds, but not on freenode or, indeed, any of the other major networks.">IRC</abbr>.
