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>

lol LSB are you saying that implying a swear by replacing it by an innocent word equates to bypassing the policy? lol wat

<p>Dude, you are misinterpreting the policy real bad. By 'all language' it means the actual words, censoring is actually saying part of the word instead of replacing it entirely.

<p>If you guys wan to just stuff the policy in your pocket and only take it out if someone is hurt, or offended someone, or is really needed, fine. I can't do anything about that.

<p>We're not. Substituting swears is not against the policy unless used in a way that offends another user.
