What words cant we say on ao?

[magman007]

Well, ive been hearing alot about words we cant say on ao now. Reading the whole Db miscue thing, but ive noticed some words that people are saying arent alowed. so for clarrification, are these words ok or not?

No need to type them

[Load SM5]

Any word that makes the *'s show up
racial slurs
and any word intentionally misspelled to circumvent the filters (using an ! instad of a i, $ instead of s, etc.)

any other words you will be warned if deemed offensive or inappropriate

I said the "d" word, which doesnt make the asterisks show up, and I Was threatened with a perm ban.

I would imagine the its not always the offensive nature of a particular word alone, but the context in which it is used, as well.

Thats the thread Im talking about. Pretty cheesy if you ask me. Either way, I got no problem with army, dont get me wrong, but that was lame-o.

Well, we can't say , , or . is iffy, and I wouldn't chance it. However, under know circumstances can we even think about saying or . I don't think I can be any clearer.

I'm guessing it has alot to do with context

Don't use words you would not say in front of your mother, priest, rabbi, grandma, mullah, etc.....

(did I do a good typical-teen impression?)

I could try and post them but they would all show up as *** and stuff.

If you post and one shows that way just go back and edit.

Even us Mods disagree with what should and should not be on that list. We occasionaly argue over a particular word

If its a warning its really nothing. go back and edit. And we take into accout the "tone" or demeanor that it was used. If it was used in a string of flames it would count more than say just saying something like "Chit I am stupid". that I would just overlook. If it was "Chit your so stupid" then I would count it as both a flame and a curse. Its intent. and its what it does to the rest of the thread that starts counting into the judgement. Depends. And its a hard call that we are forced to make sometimes. And sometimes we have to skim as we have a lot of post to keep skimming over so something like that might get called because of the "way" it was said and then never reviewed later.

You can PM or email a mod and ask him to review it. Ask nicely.

Most any words on PBN. British curse words are allowed though.
