Can I use the word "fuck"

king · 11-02-2007, 11:02 AM

Hey mods,

can I use word "FUCK without negative points" ?

what about image like this, does that count as negative points?

you dinged me 3 points for oversize image, no warning, no nothing.

that is not fair.
so, what are the rules?
who determines what word and context, what size of images is acceptable, what not?

Only if you say pretty please!

No, seriously king, I think we have now fairly well established that the odd swear word here and there (when appropriate) is not considered too serious a crime providing they are not used intrusively or in an abusive or insulting manner towards other members.

We just ask people to go easy, thats all.

Nice of you to drop in king!

Oversized image? Can someone explain? I didn't see anything in the announcement thread at the top. This is my first post and i don't really want to start in a negative way. Three points?

I've never called someone 'a shit' but I have called many 'a piece of shit'

The point system is the warning....

I'm a little un clear as to what you are asking...

is it ok to swear? ... well if it means so much its not a problem, you can use swear words.... but as long as they are not insults to other members, this is just the way this forum works... we don't want bullies here... simple as that. its for everyone and we don't want anyone moving in and making it there own... we are here to keep it everyones forum

heretic · 11-02-2007, 02:53 PM

Why is the F word such a problem? It comes from the meaning Fornication Under the Consent of the King.

ahhh I will have to check if the piece part means you get less points

but honestly... the mods here are easy going... but at the moment there are people that do not want the place to be easy going..so its tricky...

well my own personal view on swearing is look at what they all mean... the f world means expressing pure sexule energy.... the c word means the womans vagina..... ..s word means our extrament...

and these are all offensive?

why is rape not a swear word.... or toucher?

these word are much worse.

so it is odd.

that being said no one wants to be called a peace of s**t.... and it does not really contribute much to a forum...

on the old forum i once made a point of how not having rules in there can mess the place up.... and i mouthed of all over the place proving the point that one mans "Free forum" is another mans riot.

It has it's roots as a word to praise women from Africa apparently. It got changed drastically though.

In some ways it is, it is usually serious when said.
that being said no one wants to be called a peace of s**t
Some people need to be called that to awaken them to their behavior.
I have used it personally to do this.

Wow! I think I liked the old third wave better, you may have had a foul mouth and bad spelling but at least you were honest..

hahah wordage! Perhaps some digging up of old posts is in order to demonstrate the hypocrisy of this newly elevated staff member?

I made that point once too which didn't go down well lol (yes, I am using a different name just to keep you guessing

) All the trolls actually stopped freedom of speech, which was kind of ironic.

I don't tend to swear much, but I don't particularly mind if others want to, as long as it isn't a personal attack aimed at me (or another member of the forum)
