ALL POSTSShould "buck" as a substitute be banned?
<p>So yesterday a user voiced their concern at "buck" and "buckin'" being used in place of a well-known expletive. The similarities to the two words is minimal, only a single letter.
</p><p>My question to you all is, whether to ban the use of the word in place of the swear. Personally, I don't think making it a "yellowx" or "redx" word is needed, but I'll give the option anyway.
</p><p>A) Ban the use of the word as a replacement
</p><p>B) Block it as a "yellowx"
</p><p>C) Block it as a "redx"
</p><p>D) Leave it, there's no need to ban or block it
</p>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Current_Votes">Current Votes</span></h2>
<p>A) Ban it: 1
</p><p>B) "yellowx": 4
</p><p>C) "redx":
</p><p>D) Leave it: 12
</p><p>"E: discourage use of the term as a euphemism for a similar offensive term on chat": 3
</p>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Consensus">Consensus</span></h2>
<p>D) Leave it.

<p>Uh, btw, question:
</p><p>What exactly is the difference between C and A?

<p>We can't ban it. It can be used in a postive way. So B), I guess.

<p>Not sure if my opinion counts here, but if you're going to ban a perfectly-legitimate word with legitimate uses... I'm gonna oppose. Should "luck" be next? "Puck"? "Duck"? Eesh...

<p>If you block that word, BCG can't Roleplay anymore! Also, that means no more Starbucks in chat!
