Poll A question to Viners about swearing (28 votes)

A is more severe 71%
B is more severe 29%

My question is which do you find more severe between the two options:

A) If someone says the word c*nt and mother-f*cker albeit the words are blocked

B) Or if someone says the word b!tch and sh!t in full, without the censors in them (as I can't post the full words)

Now the context of this question is in regards to ComicVine specifically, not your everyday usage of swearing.

B. In instance A the word is merely implied.

I think you should pm the moderators to verify your questions on swearing. Swearing is usually not permitted here, but as long as you censor at least one letter in the swearing word you will be ok bro ^_^

I don't need the moderators to verify anything. I'm just asking what a Viner would think in regards to the question I specified. I'm fully aware of the rules.

@frozen: I just feel that that one little blanked out/replaced letter makes all the difference.

The only difference between them is that option A has a user posting words which we regard as more severe to say, so option A.

I'm pretty sure even children understand what "c*nt" is meant to mean. The idea that there is to be some middle ground in regards to swearing is laughable IMO. Either allow it or ban it.

I get that allowing people to swear with grawlixes is meant to be something of a compromise, but even then people end up getting warned for censor-swearing if the mod deems it unnecessary or excessive, which to me implies that the site would rather not have swearing altogether but are trying to keep some users happy.

@allstarsuperman: It doesn't matter. You just caused the internet equivalent of a natural disaster by posting such a dastardly word on this fine forum.

Doesn't matter. The fact that someone put word down shows me their intent.

No, that's only if they use the word to insult.

I know by rule it is but I'm asking what your personal viewpoint on it is, applied here.

@i_like_swords: just a joke. Its censored and spelt wrong anyway

Someone used the same word, censored it, and still got banned. So be careful.

Yeah, but that is the mods for you lol. Which is why like no one like them.
