B&T and why it's not here.

Talk about whatever is on your mind, if it doesn't go anywhere else.

B&T really had no function on the previous forums. We were to be lenient about a moderate amount of swearing, no matter where it occured. Additionally, certain subject matter could not be discussed anywhere--even in B&T. Essentially, the original purpose of B&T (to house all profanity and allow nasty topics) went by the wayside. We found that a little profanity elsewhere was okay, as long as it wasn't egregious, and we found that certain offensive, sexual, or othersuch topics were not welcome on the forums at all.

B&T won't be coming back. We'll be a little more lenient if you're posting profanity here and there, but in certain forums it'll seem a bit unwelcome. Say, on the N- or N+-related forums, such profanity would be swept away and, if it keeps up, will result in a warning.

Community Discussion (this forum) will allow the occasional "blue" topic, if you're familiar with retro comic terminology. And if you're not familiar with retro comic terminology, you're too young to make those topics.

<3, Dave.

Addendum:

On the other hand, certain rules enforced at the Metanet forums were only through obligation because forumer.com was hosting us. One such rule in particular has been finally overthrown, and I've been given the honor of overseeing the change.

I'm not quite sure if it's a good idea to have porno (if that's what you're referring to) on the forums.

It will attract porn nuts and we will drown in a flood of them.

From what I know about Tsukatu (not much), I wouldn't be surprised if he hid a bit of [LORAH reference] LV desktop contents [/LORAH reference] here and there.

Edit: I found three locked and hidden forums on this server. One of them is probably staff discussion, but I wonder what about the other two...
...not that I'd be interested in porn in any way. Completely skewed and horrid concept.

Why be bothered about swear words? They're simply words that mean other words. In fact most of the bad usage of them doesn't really make sense. But in the end they are just words, no need to get all hot and bothered about them.

They are really offensive to some people, and this is the internet, so you never know who might be on at a certain time, right? I for one don't swear, because I don't see a need, but it makes sense to not swear in a place that has plenty of young people.

To quote a very important part of what you just said: "this is the internet."
If you browse the 'net and get offended by a bit of foul language then you need to stop being so naive. What else is there to expect from a place where anyone can say anything they like? Things are moderated to some extent to keep everyone from seeing the real truth, but it's nothing more than you would hear anywhere else. :/

And that's why we should allow use of racial pejoratives on the forums, right? After all, they're just words. It's also why we should allow people to conduct flame wars. After all, they're just words! And pornography is just pictures! And viruses are just ones and zeroes!

i think we should get a swear filter. you can turn it on and off in the UCP already, im just assuming there arent any words in it yet.
works like a charm reliable car.

yay lenience though. we're all old enough to ignore anything vulgar anyway. or we should be.
*shakes fist at younguns*

wow this post would have been useless bar the swear filter thing :P
add some words to the censor. then everyone who doesnt mind seeing swearing can go UCP->Board Preferences->Edit Display Options and turn word censoring off. huzzah?

^ No! That would just be avoiding the problem, which is people who post vulgarly or with extremist perspectives on issues, when most of the time they're unnecessary (I guess exceptions would be when someone really deserves a verbal beating or is ridiculously thick, or a political issue... but that's not often). That's what the Soldat forums have (a word filter—mandatory, not optional like here—which we don't even know how to work in the first place :P), and the board's rampant with morons changing one letter to bypass it, and even the staff itself swearing left & right at pesky matters.

I would normally be fine with that, but unfortunately (at least here), it's not "a bit." Perhaps some are less sensitive, but I have seen crap in practically every thread here already. I noticed this degeneration beginning earlier than spring of this year on the old forum; I quietly edited numerous, numerous posts there, but I suppose it was just too weak, even when leaving edited-by lines. Junk every 20 posts or so is fine, but that's also every 3-5 threads, not every single thread. If it keeps up I will begin to warn sporadically; the negative influence of the B&T spilling into the rest of the board will end here with its death.

I think the real problem is the excessive and/or unnecessary profanity, not so much the occasional ass or damn here and there. I agree, Keron, that people who need to swear might want to take control of their actions, but sometimes a point needs to be made with some "flavor", so to speak. We can always begin to verbally (er... textily?) reprimand repeat offenders and warn them if need be.

Community > Discussion, if you've really got to talk about them at all. Topics about ballsacks and what your favorite thing to do with with a vagina that doesn't involve your wang will simply not be tolerated at all on the new forums. There's no place for them, because where they showed up on B&T, mods put a stop to them.

The aggresive sexual conotations of most swear words causes a certain distress to some people, and certainly aren't appropriate for younger children.

The lazy nature offends some egos.

It's fun to swear sometimes to add a little ironic colour, and the cathartic aspect can be a value, but the I wouldn't view their usage as a real freedom. They're much more of a detriment to intellectual growth if allowed to replace proper thinking too often.
