Alright guys, I had some interesting conversations with some people recently about swearing/vulgarity/cussing on the site. Nothing in particular, just in general. A few points were brought up, and I want to know what people think.
Here's a few points:
1. Swearing/vulgarity/cussing might detract from the site's image to non-members
2. Older folk might be turned off to the site due to the swearing/vulgarity
3. Some people, depending on where they work, might not be able to visit the site due to the vulgarity/swearing on the site.
4. Most of the people don't use it much, but there are times where it's used too much or really detracts from the thread.
And the other side:
1. Language sensitivity has really gotten laid back over the past decade, swearing isn't as taboo as it used to be to most people.
2. Most of the people here don't seem to get offended from random vulgarity, as long as it's used in context of the post. IE: Ranting about the car being broken, etc.
3. Some people like to use "spirited" language, and might feel smothered with censorship.
So, quite simply -- do you agree or disagree with upping the censorship on the website? This would basically include swear words and some vulgar sexual words. I'm not wanting to go overboard and censor everything, just things that I think people could be offended by.
