Why can't we say the f-word anymore on this Forum?
« 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...  ;)
... but at what point does it stop being CPR and start being like trying to reanimate a corpse?

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.
Hala (from the Anglo-Saxon word "halh", meaning nook or remote valley), until it was gifted by King Henry II to Welsh Prince David Owen and became known as Halas Owen

Don't make me post the lyrics to 'So What' by the ANL.

I'll do it, you know!
