    Default the 4 letter R word

    I noticed a couple of posts had some editing done to them, is there some reason why words like r.a.p.e. are being starred out? It doesn't really bother me, but I am curious.

    I don't want creeps searching for that type of thing in Google or Yahoo to find us on those key words. Ew.

    Whoa. Not the kind of place I thought I'd find censorship.

    ... I guess.

    Hmm.. I actually agree with both sides. I'm not a big fan of censorship either, be it of any kind, since I believe that everyone should get the chance to see anything from every single point of view.
    But I also wouldn't want any demented morons flood the boards because they googled for site:blueblood.net +**** +child :|
    So I don't try to see that not as censorship but rather as a protection (yeah I know, many governments in the recent history stated that they aren't censoring, they're protecting their people. But still..)
    And yet, everyone knows what's meant anyway, right? ,)

    good point. although I too am opposed to censorship ( I can't yell fire in a crowded theater,say bomb on an airplane, or threaten the president- so much for our so-called 'free' speach) but I agree with the reasoning for this instance, besides, I don't really think that is a word that's probbily going to be thrown around so much and casually here anyways, as to make it an issue. in fact, I only noticed it once before this topic and I just figured it was the author themself that choose to censor the word and dismissed it.

    Pretty much what postcoital said. It's not really censorship given that I think we can still discuss the topic intelligently and know what is being talked about.
