Title: Why can't we say the f-word anymore on this Forum?
Post by: Master Ray on March 26, 2015, 11:21:16 PM
We used to able to say that fine English word (used since the 15th century) here but just recently it's been blanked out... :(

Seems like the likes of '*******' or 'motherfucker' are fine... but a singular use of that word is suddenly not OK...  I seem to remember that the 'Swearbot' used to blank it out... what's changed? What the ****?  Oh, there it goes again!

Has the Swearbot suddenly become self-aware?  Shit, can Skynet be far behind?

 :-\

Note - I'm kidding, just genuinely interested why the rules on swearing seem to have changed here.  Although I'd still love to hear why a mild swear word that is an anagram of 'wakner' is one of the banned words...  ;)

I don't use it much in everyday life, unless very angry. Got no problem with whether it's useable on here or not.

Funny how the F word is considered mild now whereas as a kid it was once very offensive as was Bar stard. Like the C word is now. I remember Anthrax in sleeve notes for Starting up a Posse queried why words can be deemed offensive when they're just words and why is one ok and one isn't.
I guess breaking taboo's is the answer. That said I wouldn't want the littlun learning em.

Absolutely. If my comment was being referred to, I'm not offended by anything on here - just being a miserable old git, and thinking we had a slightly more grown-up sense of humour !  ;D

I do like a bit of casual swearing, it passes the day on.  (I think it comes from working in the NHS).  This thread drives me nuts, trying to work out what the censored words are...  I suggest liberal use of the word "feck" for forum purposes ;-)
Right, I'm off to try and find a swearing banana.

I don't think NMA or Viv savage care if we use the F-word (Since it will not post the word).
I think it's probably the forum software.  From my experience swearing and the f-word is more acceptable in the UK than America. Everyone seems to do it and nobody seems to care. And the Irish use it even more. 

I know f-u-c-k all about if this is an actual fact or not. Correct me if i am wrong  :D

Well, it certainly is an expressive word.  But it's just a word. People choose to be offended by it. Somone in history had to there and say shit will mean poo but it will also be a dirty word. **** will mean sex and many other things but it will be the worst word that you can say.

I don't think age matters so much. I have heard several small kids swear more than me.
