I got kicked from another server today, not for team killing, or being a dick, but because I said "bullshit." There has been a noticeable increase in servers for games where I can watch virtual soldiers get their limbs blown in half a dozen different directions, blood flying everywhere, but a simple "fuck" gets me kicked and/or banned. I've asked server administrators for their reasoning, and if there's one thing I hear most regularly, it's the "kids play here!" defense. I'm sorry, but while I don't believe games cause violence or anything, I do believe that there's something of a mix-up of priorities if you let your kids play Red Orchestra or Call of Duty 4 or any other M-rated first-person shooter, but don't want them to see or hear the occasional profanity.

It's gotten to the point where I've seen "swearing allowed" servers occasionally, where once it was completely the opposite - profanity-free servers were a minority, and you would have had to search for them. Maybe it's the greater accessibility and ease of use of filtering bots these days, or maybe the gaming scene has actually changed this much. What do you think?
