So many should remember the recent removal of the thread with that Nintendo parody video. It wasn't destroyed but rather moved to the think tank.

Now I will admit I made a bit of a fuss. I'd like to explain why.

For one, the video only contained a couple of swear words. There have been many videos linked to on this site which have had far more swearing. So this one being a big deal seemed somewhat random to me.

I simply believed our Professor was just trying to flex his muscles a little.

Now, I'm sure everyone here is aware that there is swearing on these inter-nets that we are so intent on surfing. I don't believe it is anyone on this site's job to protect members from the profanity out there. Especially considering that I doubt any of us need protecting.

I understand that there are rules, and I respect that. But why randomly censor a very funny video because it had a couple of curses? The only other thread I can remember being censored like this was one I posted some time ago which contained a video of some guy's crazy mom flipping out on him. That one dropped the F-bomb constantly so I can understand why it was censored.

But my main concern is as follows:

Are we not able to post links to any site that contains swearing in text or contatins videos with swearing? Why limit what non-pornographic entertainment we are allowed to share with eachother on this forum? Would the thread have been closed if it linked to the website that contained the video rather than the video itself? If it's not pornographic or excessive, what's the big deal?
