WHile all this sounds exciting, i still dont understand why you can say hell or damn but the A word (the one for butt or donkey) is censored? I am not trying to start a great debate here but it seams to me that A and hell are physical things, while damn is by definition a curse. damn (dm) v. damned, damn·ing, damns v.tr. 1. To pronounce an adverse judgment upon. See Synonyms at condemn. 2. To bring about the failure of; ruin. 3. To condemn as harmful, illegal, or immoral: a cleric who damned gambling and strong drink. 4. To condemn to everlasting punishment or a similar fate; doom. 5. To swear at. [censored] 1 (s) n. pl. [censored]·es (sz) 1. Any of several hoofed mammals of the genus Equus, resembling and closely related to the horses but having a smaller build and longer ears, and including the domesticated donkey. 2. A vain, self-important, silly, or aggressively stupid person. hell (hl) n. 1. a. often Hell The abode of condemned souls and devils in some religions; the place of eternal punishment for the wicked after death, presided over by Satan. b. A state of separation from God; exclusion from God's presence. 2. The abode of the dead, identified with the Hebrew Sheol and the Greek Hades; the underworld.

Honestly, I dont understand why a censor is needed in the first place. Not saying GC should not have one, but instead asking why people cannot learn to curb their language on their own. We are adults here and should know when it is and is not appropriate to say certain things. As for censoring what kids say. Hummmmmm. They dont use bad language in front of their parents or their pastors, but have you ever listened to them in school? UGH. ok...smilies...this is my favorite:

WHile all this sounds exciting, i still dont understand why you can say hell or damn but the A word (the one for butt or donkey) is censored? I am not trying to start a great debate here but it seams to me that A and hell are physical things, while damn is by definition a curse. Other words were discussed for removal, but after some talk we just decided there was no need for some of the words to be used here. We do not look at the dictionary term of the word, we look at the context of the word. We really do not see any way that word and others could be used positively here. There may be one or two ways the context of that word could be used in a non negative way, but context in posts as always is a difficult thing to read. You never know what the future will bring as far as changes to the board and or the censor. 2011 has brought a lot of change here to GC in two stages, while the doors will never be swung open all the way, we will continue to adapt with the time while keeping the family oriented board as it was started. Honestly, I dont understand why a censor is needed in the first place. Not saying GC should not have one, but instead asking why people cannot learn to curb their language on their own. We are adults here and should know when it is and is not appropriate to say certain things.
I don't understand it either Jill Marie, but before you say we should just ask them to curb their language you must stop and think about it. Obviously words have been added for a reason. Obviously many were not able to curb their language. This is a forum about sugar gliders, a place to help others, share with other glider owners and learn. While many of the words in our censor I use in my everyday vocabulary I can curb myself here as I see no reason for that language to be used here. Same goes for the rest of rule 4. We are adults here right? We should be acting like adults right? Than why are there people constantly bashing others, harassing others, and being down right disrespectful to others? We have asked people to curb that behavior here for years, yet it still happens so its obvious that asking people to curb their language will not work. I wish it would, but it wont.
