if people want to have a civilized discussion with this word included in it, so be it – that's no problem. As long as the conversation is appropriate (which is a rarity, knowing the average age of the community :P), and chat is scattered with a bunch of X'd lego faces, that's totally fine-- All those blocked lego faces on chat do is just notify the mods a blocked word was said. no biggie. as long as it's used in a fine way then it's really no big deal. i feel if we unblocked it, some people would feel the word is now appropriate to talk about/use (which in many cases, it is not) and would abuse that power. just because a word is unblocked doesn't mean it's okay to throw it around and use it willy-nilly, as i have seen before. plain and simple, i dont trust enough of the community to use this freedom appropriately, as many will assume all abuse this right responsibility ;)

-harold "ladies man" eighty nine use common sense about it in chat moderating? ^ ^ ^ ^ i don't know how to respond. i would like the word blocked on chat while at the same i will use common sense. plus, unblocking words leads to a general acceptance that its usage is always appropriate (which is not 100% the case), and will lead to much disruption That is not true. We unblocked the word "prostitute" and are about to unblock the words "condom" and "rape" and none of those words or the topics associated with them have become any more common than they were before, nor have they caused any sort of real trouble. well c and r aren't unblocked yet so how can you judge whether they will become more common or not? it hasnt even happened yet lol :P. in fact, i've seen the conversation about both words leak into chat due to that vote and become a controversial topic

As for "p", i disagree, ive seen it's usage go up/the topic about it go up. it really hasnt
