DU mods in GD have gone to no more cussin'

[protect freedom impeach bush now]

what a bunch of complete bs.

posted in a topic "#sshole"

and i used the ' # '

but some goodie DU mod thought that was swearing,
so it was locked.

what a bunch of pansy assed busy bodies.

Next thing you know all DUers will be forced to
wearing ties to post at DU. And wash our hands too.

this is for the GD mods who cat handle a cuss word -



what a bunch of crap.

hate to say it...must have been a girl DU Mod.

1. rules are rules

and trying to get around them doesn't change that fact. sorry, but no sympathy from me

5. What does 'getting around the rules' mean in relation to profanity?

Is using the word 'darn' a similar 'rule-bending'?
How about 'Gosh'?
'Geez'?

Perhaps if they used a censor word list to automatically **** out the 'bad words' instead of deleting the post, it would go over a little better.

2. Locking

This is not an appropriate post for the Lounge. If you have a question about DU policies, please post it in the Ask the Administrators forum.

I'm going to lock this now.

Thanks,

4. Oh, sugar feathers!

I guess we'll just have to develop our vocabularies.

6. No sympathy here, either.

Try complaining about some meaningful limitaton, like locking threads for no reason other than a mod's censorship fetish, instead of your own failure to circumvent a clearly stated rule of the forum in the most half-assed way possible. (Hint: try using a synonym)
