Profanity Question

I Noticed that we can no longer say a$$ on the forum. Its not a really strong word like f**k or s**t.

There are other words that we can say on the forum that arent censored.

Why is this?

It was being used on thread titles, where it is inappropriate, but I don't see it as a problem in the content of a thread.

I turned off the ass sensor.

Thanks for listening Randy. I thought the ass sensor was kinda strange.

I agree... the ban on "pus$y" could be liften and mods could kindly suggest that nobody use the word to describe female genitals. I'm sure almost everyone would comply. Just a suggestion.

But why? What would be the burning need to use the word?

To refer to a cat? Doubtful.

To refer to someone else? Then it's a personal flame, which we discourage.

Perhaps in a flora thread and we are discussing pussywillows, but I think that is not censored.

Test:
Pussywillow
pussywhipped
pussycat
pussilanimous

acid test:

Hot Throbbing *****

Just turn it off in the TV forum. It really slows down the Sopranos threads, with Big Pu$$y and Little Pu$$y.
Spoiler:
(Granted both of them now sleep with the fishes.)

Edited to add spoiler tags.
