User blog comment:Jake R/Admin and Chatmod Discussion: Swearing/@comment-1441098-20120823141607

All right. So, I know that the case has been mostly closed, but I wanted to put in my two cents. I swear sometimes in everyday life, but then again, what teenager doesn't? I agree with what Gideon said about crap and bitch, I use crap all the time (and so do most users) so it shouldn't be censored like how he said, and I never use bitch, and agree it's offensive. Asshole can be used in small bits, I think, since it's not all that offensive compared to... our last two. Shit and fuck, well, I have to admit that  I use those once in a while, but it's never because I'm mad, it's always a joke. I have no problem censoring them out, but I kind of don't know why it makes some of you  guys so uncomfortable. I'll probably start a little fight here, but whatever.

''Rhonda not logged in here! So you are saying that cuss words most be censored? Are you saying all cuss words must be censored? And exactly what words must be censored? I do know some users say some words that I don't believe are considered cuss words, but aren't kid appropriate nessicarley. People use these these words in jokes on chat, which can be funny sometimes. I'm not sure if those count, and if they should be banned for a week as well.''

I know exactly what she's saying, and I don't think those should be bans, since they're not swears, and I also think the week-long ban is extremely harsh, but I'm probably the only one, so I'll stay quiet. I mean, maybe we should make a list of inappropriate words that can't be used on chat, and maybe the ban should be lowered to a couple of days, since a week seems extremely long to me, and it's kind of a Disproportionate Retribution. (yeah, had to sneak in a TVTropes reference...) K, that's about it.
