@cap'n
It's relevant only because James has caused trouble in the past--long before we got here--and it seems that he's only doing this to stir up trouble again.
It's well known that he has issues with the modding. However:
THIS.LANGUAGE.ISSUE.IS.NOT.AN.ISSUE.
There's bigger fish to fry.
And let's all not worry about this until Stardrifter has her say.

@cap'n
I'm bringing this up because its what he's known for! He's the type of person who says "Hey I'm bored what can I do to entertain myself" I understand some of you wont agree with me on this but as long as I've been here I remember seeing him do this shit before just because he could he's 23 I'm sure he's heard worse and if he's 23 and the worst word he heard is Shit then he is lucky and most likely living in a bubble.
I'm sick of this its like he comes in and says whatever he wants and no one says anything to him and if they do he gets mad but yet he can say whatever he wants? I think not! I'm not gonna sit here and let him tell me about swearing when he's done WAY worse.
But lets still see what stardrifter says

If I may point something out: I don't personally agree with James' opinion. However I fully and unreservedly support his right to question certain forum policies.
Sorry, ANNF, but what you seem to suggest is "We could have solved this in three posts if we'd done exactly how James' says." I don't think that that's any way to run a forum. Debate is crucial and other member (me included) had conflicting views.
Further, this thread is hitherto drama-free. This is good and I don't see why it should be otherwise.

Debate is crucial and other member (me included) had conflicting views. Yeah, I guess... But... I think that we kinda all need some debate class or something, because we can't seem to discuss anything without killing each other. I mean, all James did was say that Stardrifter had told him that she didn't like language. Haven't you guys at all been noticing that we seem to get into fights over the simplest things? I know that this is straying from the subject, but lately, there are people on this forum that I know, who are afraid to suggest things because it seems like they may get their head bitten off. But that's just them. I don't know about you all, but debate seems to have become quite a chore around here.

They may get their heads bitten off by some people, but there are plenty who will support and probably agree with them, and others with no opinion who would be willing to hear both sides before picking a side if indeed they do, and plenty who will support everyone's right to an opinion, no matter what that opinion is.

Celra, you seem to be the only person that is making any drama,People can change you know.
Secondly the one word which is universally notorious is Fuck.I dont see why a word which original meant to throw according to the wiki.
I don't think other words should be censored.But I don't think words should be used against some one as said above.
For instance people said and I saw listed else were that Damn is a curse word.Yet that only seems to be in North America.Allot of words are curses there apparently,Like Hell.How is that a curse word.
Different words mean different things over time and place so if anything,only Fuck,Which I can only see as being used in normal sentences with out trying to offend.

Celra, you seem to be the only person that is making any drama I'm the only one making Drama? Well I dont think so I am certainly not the one who started this topic and just when this topic was FINALLY dropped this morning James is the one who came back and said even more to add to this and yet you think I'm the only one doing any sort of Drama? I could see if you were saying other people are starting drama as well but your only saying me JAMES IS THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS TOPIC! This is one of the first times I ever said anything usually in situations like this I bite my toungue but I'm sick of him doing this and I think this is unfair that your sitting there saying its only me.

Celra, you're getting dramatic.
No seriously, even I'm feeling it. Why not just calm down and... probably not post here for a while, because you really aren't helping your case any.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't replied, I've been on vacation.
I find it kind of humorous that you rely on me for final decisions like I'm some goddess who will fix all. Flattering, but I'm hardly on here anymore and it's your forum too.
So... I was a a little ticked over the cussing when I saw it on the main page when it didn't really need to be there. "Old threads" gets the same point across as"Old-ass threads" did. I personally don't really cuss unless I'm really upset over something cause it makes a point. True, this is a forum about a kids show that is made up of mostly 13 year olds and above, and I agree with this point. If you all don't think it's a problem, I won't disagree. If you guys want to use it (as long as it's not aimed at another member, of course) it's cool. I was a bit more against it when I was younger. Sexual references and comments, now that's another thing.
The filter, last time it was activated, needed a lot of fixing. It changed cuss words to nicer words, like "ass" to "butt". However, it changed words that had them in it, like "grass" to "grbutt". I think it's been fixed now. It was just funny.
Side story: Many years ago at another forum, I had fun with these censors and my mod powers. A spammer was being stupid, and I changed his idiotic hateful posts to say things like : "I have nothing to say on this matter and will not spam again". Or cuss phrases like "fuck you" to "I love you". Abusing my powers, yeah, but it sure was fun.

Well I wouldn't know. Goddess seems fitting as you figure so prominently in our very own creation myth. Is it true you created the forum in only six minutes?
;D
Okay. So, am I free to assume that the ruling is something like this:
-> Using obscenity to insult is treated gravely indeed. -> Certain highly inflammatory phrases are to be censored -> Lesser profanity discouraged but not actively pursued -> Low-grade profanity on the 'damn' level is fine -> As a general rule, try and keep the forum PG-13 and below
Is this good?

On the forum I first joined, it got to an appearence by one of the Admins was met with the same awe and wonder as a vision of Jesus in a piece of toast. And I totally do that on my forum, too. XD Usually when someone ticks me off. Change their avatars, too. >:3 Well I wouldn't know. Goddess seems fitting as you figure so prominently in our very own creation myth.

Why? Aren't they very much innuendo? Innuendo's cool. After all, if your brain is dirty enough to get it you can hardly complain that your innocence has been endangered.
Besides, I've been to the Captions thread and everyone there's as pure as driven snow. ;D
