The New 'Younger Member Friendly' policy of Pixologic...

#1

I just posted a reply to Sloshs’ great Wizard thread, and noticed that when I used a word normally associated with a threaded cone used to fasten pieces of metal or wood together, it was turned into a row of asterisks…
Now, it occured to me that this could be regarded as censorship, but upon reflection, I decided I was fine with it, in spite of my objection to censorship…Why? Because it will make the Forum friendlier for all.

I thought I would go on record here, rather than see some pointless dispute start, because I do think that anyone, myself included can be articulate enough to find a way to say anything, in a diverse enough variety of expression to crystallize any descriptive concept we wish, and still keep this a friendly place.

My opinion on an apparent new policy…I assume you will all develop your own, and express it if you feel the need, as I did.

Same happened to me a few days ago when I tried to say ***** panel in a thread. What if someone wanted to model a ***** and not a “*****”! :slight_smile:

Not sure exactly what those censored words are that you posted but apparently you can say penis. :rolleyes: Of course you could just put an underscore or an asterisk between each letter of the word if for some reason you really need to say it…for example if it were a legitimate word and not intended as an expletive.

It starts with “scr” and ends in “ew” and is an everyday hardware item. :smiley:
Nuts…yep they are OK

Hmm. Interesting. :slight_smile:

there is nothing wrong with human anatomy. otherwise we would be getting paranoid. I think that one can abstain from obscene language just for the forum, though.

the fact that scr*w is a lewd expression for “engage in coitus” is an unhappy accident, but nothing more.

in fact, gory, disgusting images of useless violence are much more obscene than f*ck can ever express.
