because most of us dont think its a problem in the first place.

if that swearing WAS present, the opinion would be different (read the comments, not just the poll)

I have read it, most of it, at least. I think it's likely that the pro censorship people are more vocal than than the anti censorship people, hence the poll and the comments don't align and why I referred to the poll.

As you know, I think censorship is a bad idea and I've already given a detailed explanation on this thread on why I think it is.

Too bad we can't do it like TBS does their movie editing. When someone in a movie says "F*** you!" in the edited version it actualy comes out as "Forget you!" with an overdubbed voice. lol

personaly i think this thread is tpu's polite way of saying stop swearing
this isn't a school playground so why have a potty mouth
plus it's better than being

i just use this

when i want to express some profanity :laugh:

From my wanderings across these forums, I didn't think foul language was that prolific enough to warrant any censorship. There is a time and a place for foul language and from what I've seen, most seem to be keeping it to a minimum.

Sometimes base language is all that's left to express a strong sentiment.

Smilies and asterisks sometimes just don't cut the mustard

yes it did take a fair bit of time, and i'm still not happy with either of e'm, could've been alot smoother, but not bad for my second lot of smillies, oh well i'm still learning

+1 on your whole post, JTS, especially the bold bit. I don't see much swearing either and the irony of my anti censorship position is that I seldom swear either.

hm i have an idea ,why don't you appoint another moderator (unpaid of cause) to keep an eye out for such things, that way no fancy footwork needs to be done to the site, and btarunr will be happy :laugh:

So I wonder, if someone wanted to be a mod (I don't) what would they have to do to qualify?

Merry Christmas! :toast:

One does simply not ask to become a Mod.

impress the mods without asking to be a mod.

Thats how i got it, i guess. More mods were needed, so they looked for people who'd been around for a long time (and seemed like they'd stick around for a long time more) without a bad record, but with a helpful attitude

I have a great record! Who has more infractions than me? I have to be leading in over all points!

I don't know.. I think we can count one other person that's been banned more times then you... But, you have been able to keep the same name.. :roll:

Changing names doesnt count.

we mean record as a nice person, not criminal record.

well, it ended up with me getting a ban stick, and you getting infractions from me

its a long-term plan for maximum fun.

Somehow impress without asking and hope to be noticed... and if they never notice you? I can't think of a more stressful way of waiting for the never never. :ohwell:

Worked for you though, so good for you.

And if anyone thinks that my conversation is really a coded request to become a mod, it really, truly isn't. I've got enough going on in real life without having a zillion post alerts coming my way which I have to look at and deal with and then deal with infractions and complaints.

I'm just happy to be an ordinary member of this great community. :toast:

If you want to be a mod you have to beat my infraction record. Talk about fappin' alot and call W1zz a nazi. He loves that.
