Title: Thread for discussing what we can and cannot say.
Post by: MadeManG74 on June 12, 2015, 09:37:13 am

Let's use this thread to discuss potentially hurtful words and what is okay and not okay on this forum.

(Edited to sound less abrasive)

It is absoluty forbidden to say "Shenmue 3", if you say it you will be forced to put your knees on corn kernels.




Being serious this is a forum so you can say all you want i guess but of course being respecfull is something necessary to communicate in a proper way.

This is pointless.
There is no harm in using whichever words. It's wrong to insult, politely or not.

I doubt anyone in this forum calls another one a faggot other than affectionately.

I think it should be forbidden to say nigger. I think we can all agree that the word nigger should be forbidden right!?!?!

For historic reasons, yes. Use the alternative "nigga" if you feel thug enough.

Other than that, if speccy cunt isn't forbidden within context, I don't understand the point of banning anything else

Let's just cease the discussion all together. SEGAbits does not have strict rules on swearing, as long as they are not used to attack other members or for derogatory reasons. The forums do not allow defamation of race, religion, or sexuality of any kind.

Having said that, if somebody is gay, referring to them as gay is not an insult. When we start getting into terms like "tranny" and "nigga", I think it's best to just avoid them all together here so we don't end up in another one of these discussions.

Further more, common sense is your best bet.
