Curses

[Janet]

Hey guys.

If we are going to curse, please use a '*'

I know we are all guilty of this ( including me) by saying curse words with no '*'.

There are people here of all ages and backrounds and using profanity outright could offend some people. Plus, we need to stay within the FAQ guidelines.

Like football should be f**tball...cool? ( not that football is a curse word but you all know what I mean) ;)

Cool??
Does that make sense?

cool to me!!!!!!

BTW what about shiitte? I often use that.

[Janet]

BTW what about shiitte? I often use that.

Honestly I think that is fine. I need to read up on the FAQ as we all do so we stay within the guidelines. But that is not a curse so go right ahead:) ( I always read that word with a Scottish accent in my head-try it, it's fun)

a curse word...If yer the Texas Longhorns getting smoked by the O-Who Sooners each (And every) October at the Cotton Bowl :lol:

[DrummerDeanna]

F**tball is a curse word in my world! ;)

[amber]

so, do we just replace the vowels? how many letters in the word are we required to replace with *? For instance, to me, f*ck still seems pretty obvious. ie, rendering the replacement pointless.
or, should it be ****? From your example, it looks like we don't have to replace all the letters.
:shrug:

[Gypsy-Rhiannon]

Is bugger allowed?? :shocked:

[GypsySorcerer]

Forgive me, but what is the difference between typing sh*t and typing the word normally?

LOL! You have a good point! I mean it's still totally obvious what the word is!

There are plenty of other words in the dictionary to convey the various emotions covered by that little word though... might be fun for people to try some of those out for a change. :)

[GateandGarden]

Yeah, what is going on?

Janet - are you still a moderator, or just asking as a fellow Ledgie? I'm not being snarky - the "New Mods" announcement has disappeared now, and I can't remember. Just wondering if this is an official request, or a friendly request.

And as far as all the deleting of threads and all that - if the Mods feel it has to be done, fine. But when it happens, can we have an immediate post as to why? Maybe lock the thread, leave the title, and replace the contents with "This thread has been removed by *** because ***? Just an idea.

I truly know what a hard job that must be, and I don't begrudge them doing it. But in two of the other 3 threads about all this stuff, it took several pages to get an answer about what was going on and why it was done. If everyone will remember, the last time this started happening became a big, ugly affair last August.

[Johnny Stew]

Let it be known that we're mainly referring to the most vulgar of words, and the excessive use of those words... with the "f" word being the biggest offender.

I don't think most people would take issue with minor words such as "****."
But a little discretion when swearing is never a bad thing.

[LuckyCharms]

LOL, I always did that anyways since I thought unsensored post got deleted! I guess it doesn't even process for me wether they have the "*" or not.

Oh well, time to go take the football dog outside before he takes a big football on the floor.

[lagringader&r]

There are much worse crimes being committed around here than a few four letter words but sure, I'll try to clean mine up.

I am guilty sometimes of getting a little out of hand, but I always try to watch the naughty words. :)

[Johnny Stew]

We're asking that people refrain from using the word(s) generally regarded as the most offensive. I honestly don't think that that's too much to ask.

As always, if posters don't care for our guidelines, there are plenty of other message board options out there.

Can you come to Oakland and make speeches about this in public places? That would be great! :) oh, bring a gun..... :laugh:

Biggest offender? :shocked: Personally, I'd rather see someone post the word "f u c k" unedited than see someone post the word "c*nt" edited, but that's just me.

I'll stop using the F word, though, out of respect.

I'm not trying to help govern Oakland, just trying to help moderate this little private message board out here in cyberspace. ;)

Excessive language is prohibited by our FAQs, which everyone is supposed to familiarize themselves with when they sign up to post on the Ledge.
It's not a new rule that no one was aware of, so let's not make too big of a deal about this. :)

I'm not trying to be snarky - I hold you in the highest respect Brian - but I have to ask. Why does everyone keep referring to the Terms of Service / Posting Rules as the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)? I realize they are linked from there but saying something is against the Frequently Asked Questions seems kind of funny.

Hardly a huge issue - I'm just curious!

I wish I knew how to take this. I said I'd clean my language up but I made an observation about some of the other things going on around here. I didn't get specific and they don't only apply to message boards, they apply to life. The thing I'm talking about is something you can't fix. If you're asking me to hunt around for a new message board, please come right out and say it. I like you a lot, Johnny Stew, but if the feeling isn't mutual, that's cool. Just let me know.

Not to speak for him, but I think that was generalized statement. One thing about message boards is ya gotta have a thick skin. I do. That's why everyone loves me - NOT!

I'll stop using the F word, though, out of respect.Well, I would have to agree that the "c" word should most definitely not be used either.

It seems to me that there are many "minor" slang words that are generally "acceptable" these days, but there are still many that should be avoided.

A good rule of thumb, is that if you wouldn't use it in mixed company, you shouldn't use it here.
Of course, if you would use some of these words in mixed company, maybe you should re-think that!

Hardly a huge issue - I'm just curious!You're right, technically we're referring to our guidelines and terms of usage. I can't speak for anyone else, but I always refer to them as the "FAQs," so that people will know exactly where to look in order to read the guidelines (the little "FAQ" link in the heading banner on each page). :)

A lot of things in life lately have given me a thicker skin. This message board is the least of them. The statement about finding a new message board was confusing seeing that my quote was the one at the top. So I'd just rather somebody be straight about it. Thanks.

Basically, the first sentence in my response was to answer your question... the rest, I assure you, was simply a general statement.

All I meant by "getting a thick skin" was not being so quick to take personal offense. You are a sweet girl and I think many times you believe people are trying to insult you when they're not.

[The Tower]

That always has such a charming lilt to it- kind of like "America- love it or leave it". Yeah, yeah, yeah- private message board, blah, blah, blah. Except that this board happens to rely on the support of its members to a certain extent. So, perhaps, this "if you don't like it you can leave" attitude could be dropped. Seems rather Marie Antoinette to me.

Good point. I've had it happen a few times here and have been called every name in the book (not always here so everybody can see it), been gay-bashed by two gay guys (LOL and I'm not even gay), put on an ignore list by somebody I never fought with and read the riot act more than a few times so I'm paranoid now I guess. I see it happening with others too and it pisses me off more than cursing ever could. Lack of compassion, that is. That's the thing that can't get fixed by a moderator. Sorry but real life lately has taught me that compassion goes a long way and I think that goes for off AND on line. There. I'm done. I have no problem cleaning up my potty mouth for this message board. I was pointing out (and it's only my opinion) that I could deal with a few four letter words coz they're just words. The other **** is more of an immediate thing, in my opinion. That's what I meant.

On edit: Only one of the guys gay-bashed me. The other one was just insulting. I just typed that in wrong.

Oh that reminds me. This should be posted in the Rumours or Lindsey forums I guess but in the Vh1 thing, does anybody know what word Lindsey is using when he says "I'll eat a **** of a lot of money to make this record"? That has always bugged me and this thread reminds me of it. He gets bleeped but I can't figure out what word he's using. S**t or f**k don't fit. Anybody?

nope. besides, "a s*** of a lot of money"? that doesn't even make sense. It's the former. I guess i could be wrong, but I don't think so.

[lagringader&r]

f***. yarp.

That doesn't make sense. "I'll eat a f**k of a lot of money to make this record"? Who says that? Weird. Now, HE has a foul mouth and could never post here. How many times did he get bleeped? Was Stevie even bleeped once? Does she not curse?

makes more sense than "a s*** of a lot of money". As I said above. You asked. If you want to make sure, you can watch it. And if I'm wrong, I apologize. :) I didn't hear any bleeping, as that is one of the two DVD's I own.... :) I heard the words.

[LuckyCharms]

I'll bet he's footballing her right now! (big sports fans you know)

I don't have it here and I only have the censored version so watching it wouldn't help. Still a weird way to use f**k.

[lagringader&r]

Yep, I'm cheap. I recorded it. I should ask you about all those other bleeps or were they all f**k?

[sodascouts]

Amber's right - it's the latter phrase. And I've heard that used before. Nowadays, you can insert that word anywhere in any configuration and it will still fit, becuase it has been rendered almost meaningless by indiscriminate usage.

[GateandGarden]

[LongBlackScarf]

Hey guys.


Cool??
Does that make sense?

I agree somewhat. I don't like to see it in the thread headers. Because if an adult is sitting with a 7 year old on her lap, she won't want to have to answer the burning question "Mommy, what's a "f*ck*?" Making people type out three out of four letters in a curse word seems rather silly. You can tell what it is and I think even PG-13 films now say the "eff" word aloud. How old do people have to be to post here? :o But really---Why not make it easier for all concerned and just turn on the board's profanity filter. It's got to have one. :shrug:

[GateandGarden]

But really---Why not make it easier for all concerned and just turn on the board's profanity filter. It's got to have one. :shrug:I think there is one because I tried to just say **** in a post the other day and when I read my post, it just had ****.

Pardon my French, but this is crap.

If you don't like the occasional curse word now and then, tune it out. We're all adults here (well, most of us.)

:rolleyes:

[Mari]

Why not add one board where you can use all your f-words, talk about sex and allll those other things that might be offensive to some people? With the warning to enter at your own risk?
Many forums of this size have one. You can simply refer people to that board if they act out of line, even move posts over there and keep the other boards 'clean' so you will. :shrug:
It's a simple solution.

And about f-words etcetera, I'll just use Dutch cuss words instead, so only Dutch readers will understand. Who won't be offended by it because our culture's kind of different towards that ;)
Feel free to use some as well:

- kut
- klote
- gotverdomme
- kutwijf
- lul
- schijt
...

[WelshWitchPMD]

How about @#$%^& is that good?

[GateandGarden]

[DrummerDeanna]

Wow what's the big deal?

Are you all that married to cursing openly?

I for one could care less - I try to curse as minimally as possible anyway - so this is a helpful reminder.

It's rude, and crude and it makes people sound well - un-intelligent actually. I think there are a plethora of other words that one can choose from - without having to curse. I'm not a prude or anything but geez people - this isn't a big deal :shrug:

[Mari]

^not completely agreeing. I use cuss words to express some strong negative feelings, as do many. You have to be able to vent that some way, and 'oh golly' wouldn't do if I'm really pissed off.

^not completely agreeing. I use cuss words to express some strong negative feelings, as do many. You have to be able to vent that some way, and 'oh golly' wouldn't do if I'm really pissed off.I agree completely. I don't cuss constantly but I'm still fond of those words. I am capable of using other words at other times...I am an English major! :laugh:

Part of my frustration is due to the fact that all of this happened all at once, too.

It's like chef Gordon Ramsey said in People Magazine a short time ago, regading cursing. He said he doesn't do it in front of his kids but in the kitchen you can't say "Oh heavenly days, look at that! I've gone and poured boiling hot grease on my thumb!" Yelling out a hearty M*ther F*CK!!" is just right for that occasion! :laugh:

ok - but in day to day conversation on th Ledge are people boiling hot grease on themselves? Probably not :shrug:

These guidlines have been in place for a long time -but now that we have new moderators - mods that spend a good deal more time here - they are charged with making sure that the rules and guidlines are fired....:shrug:

Not being able to curse is not a big deal - just because it's used so commonly now does not make it ok - I think it's disturbing and sad.

And yes - there are other ways to express anger and frustration than curses.

[BTFLCHLD]

hmmm...it seems im a weally good girl...i wont have to delete them all...guess i just felt dirty :wavey:

[neonprince]

Instead of focusing on not typing curse words, why don't the moderators ban really tacky banners?

You know, like the really big ones with wild colors, sparklies, unneccessary "*~*~*'s".

That would be a common decency to anyone on this board, regardless of age.

Thank you. :xoxo:

You know, like the really big ones with wild colors, sparklies, unneccessary "*~*~*'s".

That would be a common decency to anyone on this board, regardless of age.

Thank you. :xoxo:
:lol: :lol:

[LongBlackScarf]

just use Dutch cuss words instead, so only Dutch readers will understand. Who won't be offended by it because our culture's kind of different towards that ;)
Feel free to use some as well:

- kut
- klote
- gotverdomme
- kutwijf
- lul
- schijt
...

And here are the translations!

Because I totally love Red Bull, llamas, and ~*~STEVIE NICKS~*~. I bet she loves llamas and Red Bull too.

[sodascouts]

Why not add one board where you can use all your f-words, talk about sex and allll those other things that might be offensive to some people? With the warning to enter at your own risk?
Many forums of this size have one. You can simply refer people to that board if they act out of line, even move posts over there and keep the other boards 'clean' so you will. :shrug:
It's a simple solution.


This is a good idea. For the people who really do like to post about this all the time, it would give them a place to satisfy that urge.

Too bad about that electricity mishap in that last photo though :distress: ;)

Are you drinking the Haterade too, Deanna? Because she is so beautiful. I don't know why she's changed her hair from that. I thought it was awesome.

I wish Stevie was my mom. Or my lover. I can never make up my mind!!1!

All of your posts have been about your obsession with banners in signatures, do you have nothing else to contribute?

Ah, never mind, you contribute under another name I'm sure.

:laugh: No Haterade - I'm really really trying to cut back....

That hair is just hilarious :sorry: But - I do love Stevie....actually - if I grew my hair out a lot - and did the same thing to it that I do now - that's what I'd look like! :laugh:

Thanks, Paula - I was just going to say something. Five posts total (six?) and more than one about banners.
Shaving pubes and curse words don't interest you? Nor, apparently, does the hurricane, or any other of hundreds of topics on this board?
Why didn't I see it before? We should all be harping on people with banners we consider too big, and thinking only of that, like you. Your contribution here has been invaluable, I'm sure all the evil banner makers will see the error of their ways.
Hey, why don't you start an interesting thread, neonprince?

But banners on a message board do? :shrug:

You can adjust your options so you don't have to see the banners - why not just do that?

Oh sweetie, the hurricane thread put me off when people started bitching, oops, i mean, b*tching and moaning about the governor asking for prayers and getting their panties all up in a bunch because of it. Who the f*ck cares about what a governor asks when there are thousands upon thousands of people dying and homeless. That's what everyone should be complaining about.

Stupidity turns me off.

As for the other threads...all in due time. ;)

Obviously you haven't read the thread, that's barely a tiny portion of what people are talking about. Speaking of stupidity, I think I'll exit now. And btw, who the **** cares about someone's banner, not only at a time like this, but EVER?! I wish I had so little to think about that I could waste my brain space on things like that. And don't call me sweetie - I don't know you.

[GateandGarden]

As for the other threads...all in due time. ;)Well, thanks but I'm not stupid. And I don't know if you've ever noticed this about people, but sometimes when they're upset about one thing they tend to focus some energy on something else in an attempt to escape from the one really upsetting thing that is going on. I believe that's human nature. Sometimes when the one thing is too difficult to think of, you find another outlet.

That and the fact that I have never liked Blanco. Sorry. You're turning me off. I hate to be so unkind but you insulted me first.

I probably shouldn't respond to this, but that was so nasty (in the gross way as well as the mean way) and uncalled for.

The fact that's she's, what 16?? 17??? now only makes it that much more delicious. :nod:

Wow. That was unanticipated!

I have nothing to say about the rest of the thread except this: If we can't say something as simple as "damn," or "piss", then there's something wrong with this "free speech" thing that's getting even more impared by the minute. I thought we were allowed to express our opinions on this board - no matter how pleasant the wording.

And with that, I'm out. Peace.

*impaired*

[Janet]

I was reading around and I saw **** spelled out alot.
That never happened before and I just thought with **** or the c-word it should be *uck or *unt or something just so we still have a little class left.

And I am still a minor moderator but they took away the title, I guess that is really confusing. Sorry if it looked like I was just saying stop cursing. I can't say that because I like to curse and sometimes you just have to curse I just thought the extreme words shouldn't be spelled out, and I thought everyone would agree.

Now we have a filter it looks like we won't have to worry about it anymore!

[Moony]

Sorry, but this is f*cking stupid.
