I still enjoy how you guys have so aptly chosen to censor "****" (the f-word) but not "nigger."

If you are going about censoring words we all know, you might as well compile a huge list and block them all.

More so, I'm fascinated that our society never flinches at the sight of "f*ck."

Apparently, no one ever thought of inserting a "u."

And even more so, I'm amazed that edited music still exists, because, frankly, if you can't fill in the blanks, you aren’t proficient at the English language. And if you aren’t proficient at English, the lyrics are meaningless to you in the first place.

I’m not angry though, I think it’s hilarious. I guess it's just common insecurity. People feel better when they see f*ck instead of the uncensored word. And likewise, people feel better when they hear "mother fu-scratchout," in place of the full spoken phrase.

Delete threads! Close posts! It's a privately owned board, do what you will. I'm really indifferent, just mildly intrigued.


Just like when I turn on a rap station and hear "shi...edit" or "mother fu...edit."

I'd rather let my kids hear the full thing. Music = art (at least good music, anyway, but that's a subjective thing). Swearing has great presence in entertainment.



Edit: buuuuuuuuut....ultimately, censoring stuff is better for a message board, even racey threads, just because it makes everyone happy. it's not like you don't have google or private messages. about half the message boards i’ve been to have had censoring, and it seems to be just as successful as the boards without it.
