ALL POSTSUnblocking the word "piss"
<p>Since we're allowed to do this now, I'll start off with voting on this word. It's a pretty darn common word, if you ask me. And we have crap unblocked, and "piss" is at the same level or so with it. And I need a stronger way to say "ticked off," as many of you have also lamented as well.
</p><p>EDIT: As Mad rightly pointed out, any usage of "piss" toward someone in an inflammatory and offensive way will still be prohibited.
</p><p>Shall we unblock "piss"?
</p><p>A - Yes: 17
</p><p>B - No: 23
</p><p>C - Neutral: 2
</p>

Keep it blocked.

</p><p>I know piss isn't considered very offensive, but I know from experience that once piss is unblocked, a few more words will be unblocked. Of course it won't likely reach the F-word being unblocked, but for at least half a dozen users I know, the next word to be unblocked is going to be too much for them.(Or, perhaps more accurately, their parents.)

<p>I don't think your experience is very accurate, because I don't see that being a problem in the future. As with the existing votes, any words that cause a legitimate concern among users or their parents will be opposed.
