I never thought I’d see the day when pap wrapped a gag around stotonians’ mouths.

You’re still free to say what you want, we’ll just filter it so that it’s not what you wrote.

It is going to open up a load of moral dilemmas, I’ll tell you that.

If I type (unt or tvvat (or something creative that pap hasn’t filtered) , do I get sanctioned?

If I embed an image of the word cunt, that pap can’t filter, do I get sanctioned?

If I start to call people, I don’t know, Queeny, shortly after the Queen dies, and Chapel Kate and all her mates complain, do I get sanctioned?

If I start to call Chapel Kate a Wizard’s Sleeve, and her church warden explains that I’m referring to a lady’s Fufu, do I get sanctioned?

It is not the words in a post that will cause offence IMO. It’s more likely to be the fact we’re discussing a taboo subject, or we’re treating a supposedly sensitive subject with levity.

People might visit because Fatso can no longer call them a PRETTY FLOWER, but they will leave again because StickyWhiteDoveURINE starts asking for advice on how best to wipe his anus, again.

Or, Chapel Kate will stay through that but will complain and moan and put pressure on the membership to change the things they discuss.

Slippery slope, I’d say.

We’re not offering a you’re “never going to be offended” service. Conceptually, it’ll be simple word substitution. The implementation will be a bit neater. But nah, I don’t want any extra moderation duties from this.

Keep it simple, limit the scope of the offering, and see what happens. My expectation is that most who do exclude so called vulgar words will only do one or two.

Fair play pap for being open minded enough to encourage all sorts of people to this forum and find inventive ways of doing so.
