If we're going to censor incredibly mild profanity that people use incredibly casually and I've even heard in church before why is a word actually considered offensive not being censored?

This double standard is another reason why no one takes most of the moderation seriously. On DU for example people post uncensored "f**ks" and "s**ts" all the time, but I know saying that word almost always would get a banning except in very rare circumstances (like a quote).

Please don't remind them. They might ban that one too.

Dave was the one who created and is the only one who can thus change the profanity filter.

I'm not counting Dave Leip.  He used to be the only moderator when I first started posting here.  There were no "infraction points" or anything like that back then.  I'd just get an email message once in a while that said something like, "Please avoid drunken, emotional diatribes.  Thank you, Dave Leip" or "Please refrain from linking to pornographic websites.  Thank you, Dave Leip."

Is Dave still aware of this forum's existence?

Serious question.

My lord, Nym, have you been so kind to petition King David requesting that the jmfcst be made a Mod?

You can't send an e-mail?  Not that it'll lead to modship, but quit bugging Nym...

I pray thee forgive me, Lord Modship, but I believed Lord Nym could better influence His Excellency's clemency and obtain the promotion of the jmfcst.

No offense to the jmfcst, but I think Lord Nym will probably worsen your chances at modship. Wink

Cock ? C.U.M. ? Cunt ? Clitoris ? Cunnilingus ?

The third. The second one isn't an abbreviation, BTW.

I'm not sure if this new tendency to appeal to the apparent inherent evil of Xahar in all things even remotely related to forum policing or this damn game is especially helpful.

You can either write it "Cum" in the sexual sense or "C.U.M." if you intend to link it to Santorum.

Then, Lord Modship, perhaps this tiny scroll, a mere Dinner Doodle of my atonement, can place the jmfcst back into Lord Nym’s unsearchable graces:
