ha.. NO a good example of something that isn't... nor is frak or a plethora of others. It's the dvck or sh!p type evasion that is at issue. Always has been.

so curious question

saying go fark yourself doesn't immediately make the reader think of the no no word like replacing a u with a v

seriously this thread was a joke I really don't care it's just a peculiar rule to me when people can throw around reerun breeder insults and tell people to get AIDS

I'm pretty sure my mother would rather see the f word spelled out with a v then read about someone who breeds reeruns while running into AIDS trees.

...Just saying.

two completely separate issues.

and yes, saying DANG makes people think of damn, etc etc but that doesn't stop broadcasters from setting these types of rules... I personally am not afraid of words... any words... but others are. The BEST example of what you are saying is the term "n-word" ...

and honestly, my mother is an expert when it comes to breeding reeruns

(figured I'd beat everyone to the punch)

that's a good point...and I agree. I didn't think of the dang damn comparison but damn is a little less controversial than ****.

Wait, it's against the rules for me to use ! instead of "i"?

Yeah, I'd be all for removing that rule. If somebody doesn't want to read posts from people who swear, then we have an ignore feature. People who are offended by words have the option to not see posts from people who use grown up words. This isn't exactly a formal environment. More like an online bar.

Or you could just not worry about trying to change it, just type it as it is, and the word filter will do it's job for those who have it set.

BUT there is a CUSTOM word filter so that people don't have to do silly shit like that. JUST TYPE THE DAMN WORDS and the grown ups here can see them all. That way EVERYONE wins except the people who think it is cute to type SH!P or whatever. Typing a V or ! serves NO PURPOSE except to be an asshole to the people that have CHOSEN to not see those words. If you want to say ****, just say ****.
