I believe SOME words should be censored!

What do you think?

NO! I think you should have the common sense to not use some words. But censored! NO!

I apologize for the use of the word that brought about this discussion. I assumed the phrase would have been read in context - in fact if you read the statement I ridicule the use of the word.

There's no need to censor words, I will refrain from offensive posts in the future.

Again, I meant no offense, merely meant to make a point.

The reason for this post is brought about by what I remember of Wate's Sound Off Forum members comments
on the subject of using profane/obscene word in posts. I am not one that can condemn anyone on this subject for that would be like the pot calling the kettle black! Hope that is not a racist comment!

The level of offense generated by a profane/obscene word or phrase depends on region, context, and
audience.

Although most of us have no problem with profanity, there are three concerns about it use.

One - A forum can not control the audience that views it contents. Some content may not be suitable for
a young viewer/audience.

Two – Some adults would not participate in a forum that allows it use.

Three - That word censorship helps the Staff of this forum to respect the Forumotion.com's Terms of services, as the Staff is responsible of the board's content.

A middle of the road stance on this issue would be to censor on a word by word basis being prompted my
member in an attempt to keep members and add new members to the forum.

The fact is...some people do not have the common sense to refrain from vulgarity.

There are those who get so angry when they can't make a point that they start calling people racist or harmful names.

FWIW, this is how I deal with naughty words on my email list.

Warning: There is a couple of naughty words on the FAQ.
Feel free to complain. The complaint address is real.
