ALL POSTSVote to unblock "damn"
<p>Hey look, a vote that hasn't been tried before!
</p><p>Quite a few people unblock "damn" in chat as it is and there's rarely a ruckus made, and when there is it's all for the sake of the rules and not that anyone else actually offended.
</p><p>A) Unblock "damn": 27 votes
</p><p>B) Keep "damn" blocked: 15 votes
</p><p>I vote A.
</p>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Consensus">Consensus</span></h2>
<p>Unblock.

<p>It's not like users' parents check updated rules on this website.

<p>Can we please stop bumping the vote with votes? Every time you do, it's another 2 days before the vote is over. Whether you vote yes or no anyways, it's obvious who's gonna win.
</p><p>Thank you.

</p> </div> <p>Exactly. No matter how it is used, it still creates a negative image. How long before you un ban what is considered 'major' curses? Are these just minor to some? </p>

<p>Nope.
</p><p>"A vote with at least 80 percent majority support or oppose after 48 hours may be closed. Otherwise a vote can be closed 2 days after the last vote was made."
</p><p>This has roughly 64% support. Just hope no-one else votes within the day...
</p><p>Boy, you guys are really impatient for this. 
</p><noscript>
</noscript> I bet chat will be flooded with the word when the vote closes...
