Censoring content

I used to have to censor lots of words for a huge community I ran, because it was considered 13 and up, so...had to be PG. These days I don't really censor anything except words that cross into things like racism or extreme bigotry.
Fuck fuck fuck.
I doubt Nebby has a censorship
We just censor the n-word because there is no context in which that would be acceptable. Joking or not. We had a member post it a while back nobody approved.
Any other word is fair game. I am not offended by words. They are just words. There is no word censors when you're talking to people in the real world.
Oh my goodness why would anyone post the word Nancy! How dare they.
I agree it's nasty and no forum should ever use it.
I've had a bit of fun with them in the past. For example, I set up the word filters to change "wankers" to "Tapatalk".
It took a year and a half before anybody ran into that
This is funny and very creative!
As far as banning the "N" word.
I guess you haven't been to any rap music and urban culture forums and message boards.

You should've been here a few months ago, Doc.
Serafin posted a thread with the n-word right in the thread title - he didn't abbreviate it or use any euphemism for it - and spazzed out when I told him (in the thread, not via PM) that I removed the n-word from the thread title. That's the only time I can remember anyone on staff here (at least, since OT returned; I can't speak for the Wober years) has ever censored anything in a thread.
Such a use was obviously intentional, and he probably got the reaction he was looking for.
I think he was looking for an excuse to leave, Doc.
I was on a Canadian's forum where the owner changed the word "snow" to marshmallows.
What? How weird. Lol
Thanks!
There was also the time when I changed the C-word to "Piers Morgan", which had the following result:
I don't censor because I don't believe in censorship. People should be free to decide for themselves. For those who are offended, I have this advice - Man up and grow a pair.
Thanks!

Lol. You're trolling your members.
I know right.
