Cin Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 There isn't a need to curse really, is there? Most of us can get through their daily lives without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Swearing can still be considered a warnable offense even when it's auto censor. I can't tell you how many people have committed "warn-able offenses" then. And yeah it gets asterisked out. But why cuss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goddamnit names are a pain Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Now this is a bit on topic, but there is a limit to what is considered swearing. I typically say WTH or WTF without the H and F meaning...yeah yeah ok. Is the "counterpart" to heck considered swearing? Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I guess that makes half the moderators warnable. ;D But seriously, if it's not PG, it's not really something you should post. Half the members ignore that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death00 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hell isn't a swear. Its a place. So thats fully legit. i love this logic. i swore once in one of my topics, but in real life i curse A LOT. i mean sure i could get by without cursing, but it's kinda like it's reflex.

Tentacruel Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Also do not post links to external sites. Wait, really? I can't think of anyone who hasn't broken this a million times. Is that a legit rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Colonel Remo Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 It is not encouraged to swear in any form. It's up to individual moderator discretion whether to penalize it. Even with the censor, it is not all-encompassing, and it doesn't mean spamming censored words is "okay", just because they're censored. The severity of the word(s), the frequency they're used, and the context is extremely important when considering penalties. It's safer not to swear at all. The times when profanity add to a message's intensity are actually pretty rare and easily misused. Unless you're mod making a snarky comment before locking a thre-*shot* Nah I kid, only Night really curses much anymore (Aix you don't even count as a mod after what you did to me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Wait, really? I can't think of anyone who hasn't broken this a million times. Is that a legit rule?If it seems like advertising, yes. And it does seem like that from a new member. I'm not sure but I heard one new member say the system didn't let him post links yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I guess that makes half the moderators warnable. ;D Since when did I make up half of the moderators. People do it, personally a bad habit of mine from the old showcase days. Yin keeps me in line, sort of, kind of, barely. Just try and avoid doing it.

And also don't argue if one mod lets something by and another mod doesn't. tl;dr Just don't swear/try not to, kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cin Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 No we're not supposed to cuss on here. It is considered a children's forum. Also do not post links to external sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Unless you're mod making a snarky comment before locking a thre-*shot*This shit is fucking pointless.OT: Most staff don't really the occasional word, but excessive use is a penalty. The safest thing is to not swear. Lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 You actually can, kinda, sorta, swear. But it gets replaced by asterisks. Why? Because much like Yin said, it's not really an encouraged thing.I mean, you could, and it would still get censored, but you at least want to have some dignity and conduct yourself in a reasonable manner.
