Censorship Policy

The users of ChiefsPlanet decided many years ago that we would censor a select few objectionable words. We decided the F-bomb, C-bomb, and N-bomb were amongst those. We have since added ANY racial slur to that list. We've also stated that any attempt to circumvent our automatic censor would result in severe punishment.

However, we've not been very consistent. For instance, I've always allowed a partially censored "fuck" to stand. I have never allowed umulats or other such methods of fooling the filter to remain if I discovered them. Our lack of consistency has recently been pointed out and I'd like to solve the issue. Please vote your preference.

I'm abstaining. Hell, I'll talk the way I talk regardless of how it's fucking censored.

I usually say *****.

Is that okay? I'm not trying to phool anyone, just that it was phine with everyone.

[Bowser]

Ehh, if we can't use it, we can't use it. I abstain.

Who gives a fuck? fuck it.

This is a tangent, but what is the Planet's policy for making major decisions like this. Is it simple majority? Is there a guideline regarding the number of options in the poll or about how they should be constructed (to avoid manipulation)? Might not be a bad idea to establish that policy at some point, or re-state what the current guidelines are.

Simple majority in something like this.

There have been a few circumstances where it has required more but it is generally announced in advance.

For instance, if 30% of our board feels a moderator is out of line and deserves to be fired, I think that's too high.

That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure.

Afraid of Tom Cash and all his alts costing you your gig, eh?

I would say the last option reflects your opinion, then.

Yeah - now that I'm looking at this poll, I'm not sure how fair it is anyway. Maybe I should start another poll to determine the fairness of this one....
