Not really. Your mom is over quite enough to make my fears mute.

You're a mod, you should be used to that.

Please, do not take this offensively. I just want to show what word I am talking about.

I am talking about the word ,"Ghey". Is using that worthy of a ban?

I mean, it is more of a meme here; Most of the time it isn't meant to be offensive.

So, is that worthy of a ban?

Yes, I've been banned for something similar. Don't do it.

How is that unoffensive? Using someones preference as a joke to describe distaste for a video?
You should be ashamed.

Don't be sorry. While i'm not entirely serious, that's how some people feel about it.

I was playing, but seriously. I know a lot of people get offended by that, I don't know why , though. Using that word with that meaning ( to show distaste) has been around for a long time.

Ex. " That kill was so -blam!-". I don't see what is offensive about it, but I don't want to derail the thread into an argument.

Well, this argument is exactly why it's filtered.

You're mocking someones way of life, so to speak. Like when you call someone a retard, you're pretty much mocking their intelligence as well as demeaning people who have physical/mental disabilities. Sure, you may not MEAN to offend anyone, but some people take it that way.

Cursing in general is sort of like that, too. Some people are EXTREMELY offended by the word -blam!-, or -blam!-, or crap, or -blam!-, or even using "god damn it". Not to mention all of the words/using -blam!- or retard as an insult is childish.

You have a point. I don't want to argue over this, that would be a for sure ban. Thanks.

When you call something -blam!- you're using the word in a derogatory context by associating it with something bad, that's why it's offensive.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

This is why it's censored. It can be taken offensively because of time change. I still remember when that word was used to describe someone as being overly joyful. We even use it in Christmas carols, but hey, kids like to twist any word to make it vulgar.

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

I say yes because your still trying to go around the filter.

I honestly don't know why people get so offended about their choice or someones choice in -blam!-ity

  • 09.16.2011 12:42 AM PDT

See that guy over there, licking the doorknob? What a duardo!

Seriously... He looks like a complete recon!

  • 09.16.2011 4:54 AM PDT

Now... None of my post above made any sense, but you can understand that I was trying to be insulting by the context. The point is: Using a description of someone as an insult towards someone else is offensive.

I could call you a dick and it would be offensive. Should they censor that word? I could also call you a whore. First of all, I doubt you're offended, and second of all, they may as well censor every word like Jerk Marijuana ect. if they ban -blam!- because it's offensive.

And this time none of you will be left behind

Eh. I see using that word as a verb as yet another additional definition, but given how I've seen it used on this site I'm fine with it being ban-worthy.

The rules specifically state not to bypass the profanity filter.

Why is that so difficult to understand?
