View Full Version : Can we stop going around the censoring system?

This has become more and more of a problem with people going around the filtering system, by using vbcode or well placed *'s or apostophres. Let's stop this, if you are going to swear there's not much I can do to keep up with it and stop it.. just don't go around the censoring system and start inventing new profanity words.

I don't think you would be able to get away with all the swearing on a lot of boards. I want this place to be fun but let's keep things under control. Thanks for listening.

***** isn't even a swear word. ****, ****, damn, *******, bitch, etc. are and some of them are censored, some aren't. I wasn't even going around the system. If I swear and it gets censored out, so be it. But if I swear and that word doesn't get censored, I don't see a need to edit posts to edit it out....I mean, come on, "damn" is a swear word and it's not censored. :confused:

You people confuse me sometimes.

Listen...What if we were to talk about trees or cactuses? "I fell on a really prickly cactus today and I got needles from it stuck in my hands" etc....Gee, thanks a lot.

That's why pr-ck is now censored. Vulgar language isn't allowed.

It's the level of the vulgarity that determines whether or not a word is censored. All swear words are not created equally.

****** would have been censored had you not added a [ on it.

So, he started being a *** right around the time he joined up with my stepmom.

I've gone on long enough about my dad, but my God, he is such a *** now. You aren't talking about fingers or cactus or any of the other excuses that have been worked over with insincerity in this thead. In that post you are using that word in its vulgar form. Therefore, you are being vulgar, you are swearing--using profanity. There is no way around that fact.

God Allison, give it up.

The reason that some of those words are starred out are because it's TJ's board, not yours. Who pays for the boards to keep running month after month? If you really need to swear, find another board as lenient as this one.

Like Kitt said, if you were going to use prik in the sense of a tree, you would, but you didn't. You used it as dick. So quit whining and accept the fact that you can't have the boards the way you want them. First you whine and complain after pictures were removed from sigs (What happened? I thought you said you were leaving.), now this. Sorry, but it had to be said. And since no one else had, I had to. I don't care if this comes off as mean, as long as you know.

IMO, if you have to use a swear word every other word in a sentence, then you sound really stupid and your sentence doesnt really have much substance. Yes, I admit I swear.. but I dont go around using the vB code and such and I try not to make a habit of it. If you had respect for TJs rules, you wouldnt go around the vB code.

It is TJ's board because whatever the man or woman says goes and rules and I apologize if I am cursing and promise not to ever, ever, curse, swear, and/or put down people ever, ever, again!! I think that this should teach these people like these teens(yes!! I will call you teens like it or not!!) if they want to put people down or curse and make sexual harrasement, anti-semetic, and/or derogatory comments, then go on another board but please let's act civil and responsible!!

That's exactly what I said, you annoyance. Stop paraphrasing me. Teen? Since when am I a teen? Checck your facts before you open your noisehole again.

You never put people down? Ha, that's hard to believe, since whenever somebody confronts you, you tell them to go to a bar, get drunk, and have lesbian sex afterwards. Saying you don't put people down is like saying that Michael Jackson doesn't harm monkeys.

My parents cuss all the time, hence where I picked it up from. My dad cusses at me I cuss at him, which gives you a pretty good idea how my home life is. I could careless about swearing in front of my dad. I've heard it for 19 years and well, it's not like he made it his mission in life to see that I knew that the words are wrong. I do, but sometimes when you're really mad and don't have a punching bag around saying them lets off steam. Well, at least for me it does. My mom cusses, but I don’t really cuss at her. I used to when I thought she was trying to make my life miserable, but we’re on good terms now. The end.

Wow, you really are full of surprises aren't you? You like to call people bitches and make fun of them because their sexuality is different from yours and not to mention you made fun of Sarah by calling her parentless. Yeah, you're really mature. I may cuss, but I don't go around calling people parentless just to tick them off. Let's just say you are far from acting civil and responsible yourself.

It's not hard, and it sure as hell wouldn't kill her. I said something about a post she'd made on the TZ board last week, but she still hasn't apologized about that either. ohno:
