I'm actually shocked that this word is considered unacceptable. Does anyone actually get upset when this word was used? I've yet to meet anyone who regards it as a swear word, so I'd say it really shouldn't be on the censored list.

I think cussing of any kind of the forums is generally something that is not allowed... and just because the swear filter in game does not filter it out does not mean you will not get in trouble for it. If you insult someone with the word you could be in trouble, but the filter might not get it in game because well we have guns using the name in the game:

Other mods might have more to say.

I'd seen it mentioned as a possible problem in the past with some of your posts, hence I edited into something a little more inventive. We've decided it's not a problem, but I would remind you that there are plenty of terms you can make fun of someone that are much more fun.

However, even if you feel it unjust you do not undo moderation (another thing you've been in trouble in the past for). "Judge's decision is final"; you can convince us to change that decision but not by yourself.

Please remember that these forums are designed for a general audience and profanity should be kept in check lest a child be exposed to subject material for which they are not prepared.

For example! I'm writing a story about my slave trader who was just finalizing the sale of a few pre-teens for a load of "generic future narcotics" that I use to keep the various prostitutes in my employ "in check" when a member of the LPI bursts through the door to put an end to my client, a known pedophile with a long history of rape and genital mutilation.

My character murdered the police officer who, with his dying breath, was going to issue the censored word brought up in the op.

But! Keeping the general guidelines of language use in mind, his parting words were changed call my character a big jerk.

That or we maybe look to follow the post on language use and follow the George Carlin's big seven and various contemporary peripherals and maybe don't nitpick so much.

Whoa whoa whoa, no need to get hasty, there might be children here instead of on the millions upon millions of 'adult-only' websites
