An odd acronym that is red x. I didn't even know what it was until I googled for like three minutes. Could get in the way of a legitimate acronym that means something different. Example: 'Bidirectional Forwarding Detection', which would commonly be shortened to "BFD," would be blocked. Admins/cms can clearly tell if one is trying to use the originally blocked meaning.
(A) Unblock: 8
(B) Keep Blocked: 13
(C) Neutral: 3
B - you allow this it potentially opens up a number of,possibilities
B, stop with these petitions.
Again, context. I know for a fact that a mod would not kick a user for using a redx if the discussion at the time was completely appropriate.
We all know what it's supposed to mean, and if not, a quick google search can tell you. If this were a common acronym that meant something besides the one containing the f-word, then maybe I'd consider it.
But the fact is that it isn't, and you know that good and well. The f-word is currently blocked, and until it is unblocked, all acronyms containing reference to it should also be blocked.
So, B
No idea why this is blocked, is it a widely used acronym? If it was BFG or something I'd understand, but I've never heard this one before. I'm neutral, as I don't think this should be a red-x if it's just an obscure acronym, someone could relatively easily say it accidentally.

Per Apple. Really though, even if someone were to get kicked when they shouldn't have, it's no big deal. Just. Rejoin. Chat. xP Kicks serve as a way to quickly stop something, and as a warning that stronger action will come if poor behavior doesn't change right away. If it was an unnecessary kick, then no need to worry about any of that. Rejoin, and chat can easily continue as it had been. :)

BFG would be used less than BFD, honestly. If you want to talk BFGs, then w:c:doom is where you need to be.
