Question for LIF

I understand the need to censor words here for profanity. Those 4 letter words and degrading terms to women, races and religion I have no problem with. I never use them and I don't think most people here do.

But why s*ck and pis*ed? I think that most laides on this site (and the men) won't use it in an offensive manner. I don't think its any more offensive than "sex". Not to mention- the non-dirty meaning is more commonly used than the dirty one.

Anyway we can change the policy on these words?

I don't know about changing it, but I find I pay MORE attention to it when there are ****s - I try to figure out what the censored word is. Chat Icon

I know on the parenting board s*ck comes up quite often in regards to feeding and nursing. I agree these should be reconsidered.

I totally agree about those two words. There's another one too that is censored that I don't get but I can't think of it right now.

But s*ck especially is used alot on the parenting boards like someone else said and it's a pain to have to work around the censoring for a totally innocent use of the word.
