Just to make it very clear to you all now, the use of certain (bigoted) language is absolutely prohibited on these boards. Curse words, sure, go for it. But the use of certain words is definitely not going to fly.

We had to edit a couple posts today on the TC thread to remove a word that was posted. In the future, breaking this rule will result in an infraction against you, even for a first offense.

Kthx.

If you have any question about this rule, or don't know what kind of language I'm referring to, feel free to PM me.
 
And just in case any of you had forgotten, this was posted in our declaration of purpose:

"Very few things will result in a ban, to include (but not limited to) threats of physical harm, hate speech, links to pornography, and spamming of any kind."

Hate speech being the key component with regards to this thread/issue.
 
You cannot call someone a bundle of sticks just in case cookout's posts are too vague.
 
The word was good enough to be used in a Dire Straits song.
 
Called turf one in probably 2004 or 2005 and my original board name was permabanned.

What board name was that?

I called an NC State Forum mod a miserable cunt one time and am still perma banned for that one.
 
Wasn't he was rgordon504 or something like that?
 
Are abbreviations and fillers like #!!* in these words bannable? Like if someone was like "that Cr*cker Caturday gave my girlfriend herpes"?
 
Yeah, just using the language would be against our rules. It's the nature of it, not the word itself.

It was my family's name long before it meant any of that crap, except we had an extra g. Pronounced the same way. Wish I could sue every movie that used my name like that.

You can.
 
One of my best friends in high school was a Fagg. Even dated her for a bit the summer between high school and college.
