Are you allowed to swear in Waypoint?

Just asking. The title says it all. Anyways, I don’t want to swear to attack other people verbally. Just to express myself. Like, I don’t know for example, Master Chief is so bad- !

You can say damn and badass but that’s about it for swearing.

Anything else will be replaced with “Yoink!”

Is that still against the rules even if the word is censored?

Depends more on how you use the word. Flaming and spamming are still flaming and spamming even if the offending words are masked with “Yoink!” or some other placeholder phrase. Note that partially obscuring the word – with asterisks, symbols, et cetera – generally counts as a censor bypass.

Of course, it’s better to avoid the situation altogether. Needless profanities are often seen as immature, not impassioned; nobody’s going to give you a funny look for calling Chief a badass, but a person ranting about “Yoink! Reach’s Yoink! Yoink! DMR” isn’t going to impress anyone. :\

No you can’t

Great Waypoint, just great. You know your lucky your good at -Yoink- my -Yoink- or I’d never put up with you. You know what I’m talking about. When you -Yoink- lubed up -Yoink- toothpaste in my -Yoink- cherry -Yoink- Episcopalian -Yoink- extension cord -Yoink- wetness -Yoink- with a parking permit. That is the best.

It’s to simply show you can swear.
