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.

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

A voice of reason. I like that.

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

We're working on cracking down on many offenses, Sue... but we have to start somewhere.

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!

Biggest offender?

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.

That was a joke. Do you really think I'm moronic enough to think you were trying to govern oakland?

g**sh!
Oh, you laughed. Okay, nevermind, I g*ess. S*rry!

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.
