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>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.

So if it fulfills its purpose, isn't that fine? If you're enforcing it just because, the purpose of the policy becomes having rules just for the sake of it. </p>
