Just curious if there has been any instances when youd have to use the form... :P

Why not make use of the censorship tools available in the forum software? I like to use them to filter out racial slurs and convert them to innocent terms like "puppy" and "Puerto Rico."

Haha, no.

And Jim, that's a good idea. Maybe we should have everyone post what words they find offensive and we could build a censor database from that.

You want us to POST the offensive words?! HORRIBLE IDEA BOND, HORRIBLE IDEA. HERE COMES JIM IN 3..2..1..

Renwood · 06-02-2008, 12:09 AM

Not kidding. Racial slurs and insults about sexuality annoy me. The rest annoy everyone else.

Well, if we can't have honest discussion about what offends us, I'm not so sure if we'll really get anywhere.

When did swearing become accepted on the boards even?

One day nobody was because we had rules against it then bam, people started

Aladuf · 06-02-2008, 12:12 AM

*shrugs*

Alright then, I'm really not easily offended, so I've got nothing to list. People should say what they want as long as their not ignorant pricks about it. IMO of course.

Renwood · 06-02-2008, 12:13 AM

Prick offends me.

cunt

Renwood · 06-02-2008, 12:14 AM

Yeah, "cunt" is a problem-word too.

I was never sure on the whole "cussing thing" because I never saw anyone do it, but I never saw it spoken against. So I noticed one cuss word one day and just assumed it was ok... so oops?

I have always used bad words. I swear by swearing. But if I have to, I will have sworn by swearing.

You either express yourself with 4-letter words of expression, or you come up with something witty. I am the epitome of lazy, so I chose to swear. However, if I have to, grilled cheese.

It's true. I go along with the idea of censoring out every possible swear word because I will then use them and have my posts full to the brim with vague and mysterious asterisks.

Wonderful compromise.
