JohnnyBlaze Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I don't give a shit. ;)It's not like an asterisk over the letter U takes away the impact. I get my fill of saying it every day anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get my fill of saying it every day anyway. I, personally, find it to be an everlasting inconvenience for all of us.How is it inconvenient? It comes naturally to me to just be able to type out "f**k" on a website... Often times I need to remember "right, I'm on TRF, I need to to censor the 'u'... Let's try that again then... 'f*ck'... There we go" to share a more detailed example: I wanna die... I wanna die, I wanna die, I WANNA f***ing KILL MYSELF" ^ Notice how the "F*CKING" gets changed to "f***ing" unless I am sure to input "F*CKING" rather than "FU CKING" raw, without the space. A minor annoyance? A minor inconvenience? Definitely. But still, a re-occurring one. Edited July 16, 2015 by Mr. Not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babycat Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I have no idea whether the Forum automatically censors the word or not, but I do it myself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I don't understand why anyone needs to resort to those words to express what they want to say anyway. Four hundred thousand words in the English language, there are...and I don't know how many words there are in German, Portuguese, Swedish, Finnish, and however many other languages there are that TRF members speak...and you're hung up on those four letters?

Expand your mind a bit. Seriously. F♂CK Y♂U I rest my case. If you're denying that for many people "f*ck" is an all-encompassing English expression of anger/disappointment/dissatisfaction/sadness (and the list goes on...) then you're seriously deluding yourself. This is a web forum, not a classroom... Sometimes, people here like to vent, or post silly inappropriate things... It's not always about trying to 1up one another with book smarts and eloquence, which is what you seem to be aiming at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 ^ but this is something of a derail, the real question here is whether the censoring of f*ck shelters the young users here as well as promotes a friendlier board experience, or if it's just a futile measure and we'd be better off with it uncensored.

PolarizeMe Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I wouldn't mind it being uncensored, but I definitely can live with putting the effort with self-censoring myself especially if I want to do it in all caps. I say that and many more of the seven dirty words WAY more than I probably should in a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRF was always meant to be family- and work-friendly. Not G-rated Disney friendly, but friendly enough that a young teen who got into Rush could come here and not feel out of place. That's the main reason for the word filters. We figured the adults who felt they needed to use such words (usually in service of a joke) would simply use the filtered versions and still get their f***ing point across. :) Then there are the people who don't quite understand such a concept and need it explained to them, as Mr. Not ably demonstrates with this thread. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
