    This cannot continue if the rules stay as they are, so we need to visit some specifics related to what is/isn't profanity and what should/shouldn't be allowed in posts to give the board input so they can determine if the rules regarding profanity need to be modified or left as is.

    Something to keep in mind when answering these questions.

    Personal attacks are not allowed, regardless of language being used. So, whether a personal attack/slam is done using a curse or not, it is likely against the rules.

    Sexually explicit language (describing sexual acts) is not acceptable as the rules stand, and that topic is not part of this discussion.

    So, when we talk about curses/language here, it would be in the context of being used as an exlamation, adjective, etc., not a means to personally attack someone (forbidden with or without curses) or describe sexual acts.

    So, please give input on the following words/points (the input on these, will help the board get a feel for what generally is or isn't considered acceptable by our members, and they therefore will apply that to other 'similar' words). Please give input on each of these questions:

    ====================
    Questions to answer
    ====================

    Specific Words:

    Should the word Ass be censored?

    Should the word B!tch be censored?

    Should the word whore be censored?

    Should the word sh!t be censored?

    Should f-bombs be censored?

    Should the word b@stard be censored?

    Circumventing the word censor:

    Should people be able to get around the word censor by adding letters like $ or ! (a$$ or sh!t)?

    If a person posts a word that is **** out by the word censor, is that ok, or should the post be edited/deleted and the poster warned (examples "**** this" or "the team played like ****")?

    Acronyms:

    Which of the following accronyms are ok or not ok (general translation of the acronym given, some variations exist)?

    WTH (what the hell/heck)?

    WTF (what the fu**)?

    FUBAR (fouled/fu**ed up beyond all recognition)?

    **** (shut the fu** up)?

    LMAO (Laughing my ass off)?

    LMFAO (Laughing my fu**ing ass off)?

    SNAFU (situation normal, all fouled/fu**ed up)?

    SOB (son of a b!tch/bum)?

    Other Acronyms you want to comment on?

    Any other topics related to language use/profanity that you want to comment on:
    Let the swearin begin biatches



    T - u prolly already knew what I was gonna freakin say though huh

    Seriously I was just thinking about this today w/o knowing this thread was out there - swearing just for the fuc of it should be ok - but you shouldnt be able to call someone a fuc head (unless they are a raiders fan, DS not incl. if you call him one I'll have to go off on your sorry ass )

    But I know we have a lot of people on here that it really does bother - so IDK cause I really love everyone here and want everyone to be happy

    Seriously - you guys get to swear and im getting censored still - I feel like someone is playing favorites

    Maybe when you are relating a story of what happened to you?

    Me - "I got a signed Elway Jersey for Christmas!"

    My friend - "****!"


    I guess.....
    When you tell Whodey to **** no one minds - by i digress - his ass never comes here anymore (i censored myself for you guys on that one )

    Kids have been swearing since 4th, 5th, 6th, even 7th grade.
    Seeing it on a message board wont hurt anyone.

    I've never been offended by what someone has said verbally before.
    Sticks and stones can break my bones but words on a message board will never hurt me.

    When I was 13 I was outside playing with my Fanner Fifty's, playing ditchem and wishing my parents would buy a TV so we could watch the one channel we could get at the time.

    Again .... if you interpret the F in WTF, ****, LMFAO, etc. as the word f**k, that's your problem, get your mind out of the gutter.

    Acronyms leave it entirely up to the reader to determine what each letter stands for.

    Did you write No when you ment yes?

    "Should f-bombs be censored? no"

    Just wondering because you said no to all the the F words in any of the acronyms, yet it would appear you said Yes to allow the F-bomb?
