Swearing

[Beskar]

Well, some of the confusion comes from the fact that I very rarely edited out swearing in the gameroom. I don't think there were more arguments back then though. Telling people to cool it stifles the arguing. Generally the game mod can handle that.

I noticed though that the general forum members idea of what kind of swearing is acceptable is about the same as the current moderator crew, just a bit more lax. The only words there's a real difference on are the ones being talked about here. And **** (as in "take a ****").

Well, you could always use "Go and take a dump." or "I really don't give a smelly backside" or "this tastes' like Sasaki's cooking".

Tons of alternatives which aren't using certain words.

Sure, and that's the reason we have the rules on swearing and why almost everyone supports them to some extent. It's nice to not read offensive things, and the moderator crew is looking out for the minority who are more sensitive to words like hell and damn.

I do feel like they are overjustifying it in response to some of the criticism lately though. With the rules being eased up, there would be more "lite" swearing, it's not like the org would become a cesspool and war would break out in the gameroom.
