But a mature content option would allow many older users more freedoms with their speech, while offering a more child safe website for those who prefer that.
Both DeviantArt and YouTube have mature content filters that seem to work pretty well, and those are just the places I know of, so perhaps one here would also be a good idea. A compromise for both younger and older members on here to have more freedom, and more protection.

I really think this would offer a free range of liberty

I once tried to make a role play, but mods told me it was too violent.

Like, a kid could lie about their age (some peoples are already claiming to be 18++ when they arent at all :v) and kinda, idk, shock himself?
pluuus this is not youtube, this is a pokémon game and pokémon never was Especialy for mature players.
You just gotta deal with it, if you wanna swear, use the palpad.
and if you wanna make a mature roleplay, use another place.
Even tho i gotta admit the swearing rules are a bit too much, the players are usualy 12 YO+++ and even at this age (and especialy lmfao) people swear a lot :v
of course, some don't, but still :v
Also this was already requested

Faking your age is much too easy. Just because they might've already faked their age elsewhere, doesn't mean we should fuel what little kids know about mature content.
Honestly, I don't get why it's so hard to just not swear/talk about mature content? I swear a lot in real life and I'm also pretty dirty minded. But, I just simply don't do it here. I'd like this to stay a site where both younger and older people are included and can see the same things.
All having a mature content button is going to do, is make 99% of people use it because they want to be included.

You can curse. Just don't do it on this site. It's not that hard. You can vent without hurting another user and swearing - I'll be the first to say that considering my diary is 99% venting.
Not swearing isn't that hard. How does typing one word make you feel better? You can find better alternatives that won't either teach a child a bad word or make someone else feel uncomfortable.

Actually, I have yet to find a source that accurately states why swearing helps. The source you've given is a .com website and only quotes a single study which has only studied the effects of swearing on physical pain. Finally, this is merely a study and not conclusive. I have yet to find a reliable source that accurately states and confirms the reasoning behind what you're saying. I'm not saying it might not be true, but it's simply a study so far with little backing. What you've given me cannot be used in a lab report or a university essay report so I see no reason to consider it evidence here either.

I'm not saying depression isn't as bad as a physical injury. I'm simply saying that the first study you've shown me is a single study. It is about holding your hand in ice which in itself is already a rather weird way to study pain. Secondly, it's a single study about something that is closely linked to psychology. Psychology is a highly debatable subject. Most experiments can not be replicated. Therefore, until there is a conclusive report, I don't consider that evidence.
Finally though, I'm just another user commenting here. I'm simply posting my opinion as a user not a moderator right now because you haven't broken any rules. Disagreeing with me is perfectly fine so long as you aren't rude about it.

The swearing filter is there for a reason, there is absolutely no need for this mature-content stuff.
You are wanting to express yourself on a children game, which is fine, but you are perfectly capable, as a teen/kid/adult/whatever age you are, to express yourself without cussing.
If you have such needs to cuss, take it to personal messages/private chatting sites, such as skype, slack, whatever other programs there are.
If you truly believe cussing is the only way to release whatever anger/stress/suicidal thoughts you have, a childrens site is not the place to do it.
I don't care if there are people of all ages here, just because you're not a child, should you be excluded from such rules, whereas such rules would force children to lie as is about their ages, because they now feel left out.
