Do you use profanity / bad words on forums a lot?



Do you visit forums that censor it?
 
I actually try to limit my use of profanity. I'm okay with it being used. Just not in every other sentence during a post. And yes, I do visit forums that censor it. Doesn't really bother me if they censor it or not.

No I do not use profanity/bad words on forums or in RL. I was brought up that there is no need to use such language. I think it's shows class and good manners not to use such words. I especially hate the F word and I cringe when I hear small children use it and it makes me wonder what type of parents they have.



I have been on forums that censor profanity and quite frankly I'm glad they do. I'm not a prude but I just think using this type of language is not necessary.
 
Yea I swear on HH, Not in every post/sentence. I think people should be allowed to swear if they want to.
 
I don't do it often but every now and then and I don't sensor my forum either. In general I find forum censorship pretty stupid in general. I trust my members and so far they haven't gone overboard with anything that I've needed to censor.
 
Everything is good in moderation. Excessive profanity is uncalled for though.
 
Well not everything is good in moderation... for example. Self-mutilation, heroin, suicide etc.

Obviously by the word everything I was talking about words that are considered to be profanity.

I don't care if people swear on my forum. I do swear on my own forum but not much, same with the members. I believe in freedom of speech and I can't offer freedom of speech and say no swearing.



You aren't allowed to swear directly at people though in an abusive manner.
 
The only cuss words that I ever say which are on rare occasions would be damn and or ass because what you say is easily recorded...now on Instant Messenger.... that's a different story, it is uncensored there, I've been on a couple of forums that disable cussing which isn't a burden for I can easily dispatch that from my vocabulary.

I rarely swear. Never used the 'F' word on forums. If I am going to say something that might be deemed inappropriate it will most probably be written like: @#%*
 
I swear like a trooper but I limit it depending on the forum I'm on.



I do hate to hear woman swearing on forums.

I wouldn't spend much time if any on a forum that has a strong stance on using bad language. Its fine if people are not using it in an aggressive manner towards other people... imo.
