ALL POSTSUnblocking a few Blocked Words
<p>IDK if we're allowed to say the words so I won't but I'll say something to get the point across.
</p><p>Note: As Mad has said if the words do get unblocked that does not mean you're allowed to use them for personal attacks or derogatory purposes.

Bourg, yes, they <i>should</i> be okay with it, but that doesn't mean they are. Unfortunately some parents will actually disallow their kids from coming to LMBW if we allow certain swears.

<p>Maybe a better solution is to not necessarily allow/disallow any specific words, and merely enforce language based on the situation? That doesn't mean just let an f-word or something like that go, since there's really no reason for that kind of word on LMBW, but when someone responds with a "Damn" once, is that a big deal? No need to completely disallow a word if it <i>may</i> only cause a problem in a few situations. If at the time it's used it <i>does</i> cause a problem, take care of it, but if it doesn't cause a problem, no real need to "disallow" it. Some words can always be discouraged, but my idea of enforcing "bad" language would be more situational rather than a predefined list of words to disallow whatsoever. Basically it involves using common sense, like so many other things. :)

<p>Neutral, HECK YES THIS WORD BELONGS IN THE VOCABULARY OF PRESCHOOLERS, no, no.
</p><p>On a more serious note, neutral, no, no and no. Why do you think the community would want the S-word to be unblocked?!?
