Nobody in the game of football should be called a genius. A genius is somebody like Norman Einstein ...Joe Theismann
I don't think ass or ******* needs to be cencored. If someone tries to get around it using other characters such as $ or ! it doesn't bother me too much, but it wouldn't bother me if those got edited either. . .just more work for the mods . . .
Regarding the censor, I think that it should be o.k. to post a word that is removed by the censor resulting in: ****. I learn very quickly to avoid those words and come up with a better alternative, but seeing the asterisks doesn't bother me at all, and it serves it's intended purpose.
The acronyms are all fine by me as well. Many of these are already parts of our society's lexicon, and the others aren't far behind.
I know what it means, what I'm saying is that when I see it posted, I just 'know' somebody is posting that they think something is funny, I don't sound out those words in my head.
Same with LOL, it just means funny, I don't sound out "laughing out loud" or "lots of laughs" I just know it means someone is laughing.
That's all I meant. I 'know' what they mean, or what they originally meant in terms of the words, but in practice I see them as:
LMAO = funny
ROFLMAO/ROFLMFAO = Really funny
WTH/WTF = ?? question/confusion -- It's an exclamation of disbelief in something that just happened.
The point I have tried to make is that the acronyms do NOT specifically reflect certain words. Funny how those that are so offended by the F-bombs will jump to the conclusion that WTF means what the f**k and not what the fudge. Same with all of the rest of them.
I understand tned's generalized comprehension and honestly I don't sound out the individual words either. But how do you ban something that doesn't necessarily say/mean anything vulgar or offensive?
And how many more times will everyone beat this dead horse before decisions are made? Seems like everyone has made their point at least 3 times in this thread.

Not everyone has chimed in. Yes, there are some that have commented several times, and that is fine. The bigger issue is that we are leaving it open for those that will be commenting for the first time. We want to hear from as many people as possible before the advisory board makes a decision.
Pardon my impatience. The thread is only 2 days old so I suppose it should still be left open.
But WTF is everyone? (J/K)

Should the word Ass be censored? No
Should the word B!tch be censored? No
Should the word whore be censored? No
Should the word sh!t be censored? No
Should f-bombs be censored? Yes
Should the word b@stard be censored? No
Acronyms:
WTH (what the hell/heck)? This is fine
WTF (what the fu**)? This is fine
FUBAR (fouled/fu**ed up beyond all recognition)? This is fine
**** (shut the fu** up)? This is fine
LMAO (Laughing my ass off)? This is fine
LMFAO (Laughing my fu**ing ass off)? This is fine
SNAFU (situation normal, all fouled/fu**ed up)? This is fine
SOB (son of a b!tch/bum)? This is fine
I don't see why any ancronym would be censored.
You are right. I'm not sure why I guess the brain really does a scan and just gets the jest without focusing on the words. The only acro I'm still on fence with is ****, and it's more that I don't want to the have the mods to have to police whether it's an attack or between friends.
