Blocking All Euphemisms for Curse Words

This post is locked.

Dr. Shady·7/29/2015 in Community Voting

A few users have been using a euphemism for a very bad word on chat and are mostly mods, while another user was warned for using a euphemism of a word that's not nearly as bad and was told it wasn't allowed. That's not necessarily good modding, is it? There should be consistency. Either allow all euphemisms for curses or allow none, it's simple.

For example, the euphemism "buck" which is clearly used as an alternative for the F-word is allowed.

A. Support, don't allow anything that could be taken as a curse word to be said.

B. Oppose, let all euphemisms for swears be used freely/Keep things the same.

C. Allow simple ones (such as "freaking") but not ones very close to the word (such as "buck")

D. Other (specifying which should and should not be allowed would help.)

E. Neutral

Votes

A: 1

I'd just like to keep in mind that this discussion is not on whether posting an "anime sketch of a skimpily clad woman" is appropriate, this is a discussion on allowing euphemisisms in chat. Please get back on topic, the current topic has already caused enough discussion.

C. we already have two levels of censoring on chat; red-x and yellow-x, so it's not really that hard to treat different words differently depending on their severity.

I personally like to be able to use heck or dang. But I feel like using one-letter-difference euphemisms for what are widely considered the most strong and foul words in the English language is not cool, uncalled for, and ridiculous. It would be better to allow all swearing instead, in case someone typos that one different letter and accidentally posts the real thing instead of the euphemism, and gets in trouble for it. Cos that'd be silly and messy.

Sorry, vote doesn't count, you need at least 75 edits in order to vote.

I just realized I never voted on this

</noscript> I vote C and TBH that image doesn't seem like it'd be appropriate for the wiki, but considering several admins have seen it and allowed it I guess it is? IDK I woulda deleted the comments with it if admins didn't already comment after it though TBH.
