Censorship?

[Bosko Schwartz]

There's no censorship in this forum, correct?  I just want to make sure I can cuss like a sailor when applicable/necessary and not get booted out of here.

You feel like venting Bosco?  I don't think there is much in the way of censorship in terms of the odd swear word.  The big no-no here is personal, nasty attacks against another member, that's not nice, but just getting excited or whatever and expressing yourself with the odd juicy word, let fly.

[Bosko Schwartz]

No, I don't do personal attacks; we'll leave that to Fox News.  I was just making sure because I don't want to get booted.  You see, I really like this fucking place!

I think this place does very well to show sensible restraint with swearing and explicit content - i.e. it's there, but it's not used gratuitously, which is just the way it should be.

The only thing I'd be aware of though is that we do have some younger members on here. But I'm sure you'll be told (gently) if you overstep the mark!

Well as far as I'm concerned I'm the youngest member, and i can take a bit of swearing I even do it myself sometimes.

But yeah, as long as your not talking like the folks at youtube, everything should solve it self

None of my posts have ever been ********.

Well, I know you can handle it, 0jimi0!  You're doing an album called "The Sensual Horse Fucker," for Christ's sake!

Had I seen that post before this, I wouldn't have even asked about censorship.  I don't think I'll have any problems.

Just don't fucking swear though.

As a young punk (late 70's) we (the band I was playing in) had a song called 'Please don't swear', which we stole from some bunch of toffee nosed public school boys band (if it was you, or anyone else on here, I apologise for the theft, the use and the subsequent claim to the authoring and composition of the song), and played in the pubs and clubs of North Eastern England. (Our World tour started at Northallerton and ended in Billingham).

It was there to shock as most early Punk was, the last line being 'Please don't Fucking swear' which everybody except our parents loved.

It's lost it's impact, sadly, as much of the English language has. Things are 'Awesome', 'Horrifying', 'Outrageous', 'Amazing' without being more than mildly interesting, mildly odd or simply dull. So it is with swearing. I don't like using the 'C' word particularly, unless I'm pissed and talking to ORH.

Yeah but mostly in spoken language;  it's a waterfall of meaningless babble it's like y'know...
However the written word is a different means of communication; it comes across much harsher, and may convey an image of yourself that is not really true.
