Is Profanity cool with everyone here? It's seems so...

[anonymous user]

I have been members of extremely large sites, where members are in the 50,000 or so area, and on all of them profanity has swear filters and derogatory words are also subjected to filters.
I mean, there's even threads here on YW with the f-bomb IN THE TITLE. Not that it bothers me, but i would like to see people use it less, it makes the site look bad. Also, I've never seen it allowed so much on any other forum I've seen. Well we have one here where i live, but it's mostly young, retarded people who couldn't win a 3rd grade spelling bee. The future looks grim.......

I'm not sure the use of the f-bomb predicts doom and gloom for Yaris World....

but to each his own.

It's used whenever the situation calls for it.

I think we can be mature enough to not have a swear filter and still keep 90% of out threads free of profane titles.

I think we need to go for 100% of profanity free thread titles. I am so-so about the content.

I think that "My car got knocked the fuck out" is a great example of what not to do.

Perhaps the mods could fix this. This drags the entire forum down which we do not need.

Yah dude, considering the stuff they allow on TV, basically the only swear word left is the f-bomb, and if you think this forum's bad expletive-wise, I don't think you've seen many forums lol.

Filters don't really do anything anyways, because if you're over 10 years old, you know exactly what the person was trying to say through the filter anyhow.

I do think expletives should be left out of thread titles though.

Although I stand by my previously stated opinion, I feel that there should be a balance in this matter. I agree with you.
Sometimes the freedom of being able to express yourself in any way you want leads to things like that, but I've learned that most of the time, if you don't forbid something, people are less likely to do it.

There's no specific rule against it, but I agree swearing has no place here, it is a family-friendly forum. I'll see what we can do about a filter.

But for now, please do report any threads with offensive titles!

[rningonfumes]

Agreed. In the body of threads, fine--when needed. But in the titles, folks need to refrain. The reason would be this:

If you open a thread that says NSFW or the other myriad of warnings at work, it's your fault for getting caught "viewing" porn or inappropriate material because you were warned. On the other hand, if someone used profanity that shows up in the title, they've given no warning, someone can walk up behind the viewer and get that person in trouble.

This was the one that finally made me bring it up.

I've seen many forums. However i don't continue to frequent them if the language runs rampant (like forumshawaii).
IMO, there really is no calls for it. If you cannot eloquate without profanity, then i feel sorry for you. Chances are you don't have a really good career.
You just have a "job". That's my take. I swear a lot in person, around the right people. But I DO NOT do it at work meetings, etc.
I'm not attacking you personally, I'm just saying if everyone is doing it, doesn't make it right. I'm sure you heard that before as a kid, and it stands true today. The F-bomb doesn't quite have the "shock value" that it did when it was used more sparingly say 25-30 years ago.
We are drawn into a culture that uses "like" and "good" and "f**k" as verbs.

If I am the only one to bring this up, then carry on people. I can live with it. But I'm pretty sure you don't see that language on higher end car forums. Need I say more?

FYI if you see kay is derive from a german word "frichen" meaning "to strike".

let's all not be hypocritical about this! if we need to agree, we should probably start censoring the thread with all those semi naked women/chicks. i sure hope that nobody looks at semi nude pictures while in a place of business/work.

[Malaya1221]

pk agreed! my rich friends are the most vulgar of them all, but it does not mean that they are less of a human than i am.

so let's just forget that this thread existed and let's all have a if you see kay + ing nice day!

[Malaya1221]
