Seriously, we unblock a new word every day, and today's word of choice makes no sense. If you want to, you can say "I'm REALLY mad {at you} right now" and I think if you say that in the right way, it will "cut the mustard" even better then saying the word that's being voted on. Again, there are other ways to express your anger other then saying "I'm {insert a word here that ends in "ed"} off". If you really can't figure out another way, then maybe you should take an English class. This particular word is about as tame as it gets. I honestly don't see how this word can be considered "inappropriate". Also "I'm really mad at you" doesn't really work most of the time. It may not be inappropriate for some, but I feel like for a site that's about the MBs, it is. That's not important though, as for the "I'm really mad at you" thing, I didn't mean say it like that. I mean like this:

Person 1: I'm REALLY mad at you right

Person 2: lol

Person 1: I'm serious, stop it

There's no reason to use the word "piss" to get your message across. Is it easier? Maybe. But there are a lot of easy ways to say things that we don't allow here. If there's only one instance where it can be used legitamently, why do we need to unblock it? the target audience of the mbs is children and in order to make a wikia account you have to be 13 so since the target audience is illegal here the rules for it wouldn't make sense Under-age users have come on here since the creation of the Wiki, soliticing their age is illegal as well, and it's not our responsibility to send them away, so there's nothing really we can do...

So why not cater to them, if they come on anyway, even if they shouldn't...? but since people under 13 can't legally come here there is no reason we should change our rules to target them

The very fact that they come here anyway tells me we should cater to them, regardless of whether it's legal or not. I do think Skul has made a good point before though that if you want this place to be like the MBs, stay on the MBs. This is a different environment, and people have different 'needs'  And it's not so much that this kind of language is bad or not acceptable for younger people, it's that it creates a very different kind of environment from the MBs. To some that might be a good thing, and for some it might seem bad. That's ultimately what votes like this are about.
