On a Pokémon board, but has very little to do with Pokémon:

So Serebii gets mad and tries to lay the smack down on his forum.

People get mad, especially about the second rule:
-Censor Bypassing Will Now Result In A 3 Day Ban With The Amount Increasing For Repeated Occurences. We Have Kids Here For Christ's Sake

OMG! Kids! On a Pokémon board! Who'd have thunk it! Only not! Because most of the posters are teenagers!

He also refuses to say WHICH words are verboten, because he's particularly fond of saying 'arse'. Thirty-four pages later he closes the thread, telling people that intelligent people don't need to swear. *cough*.

People PM him in a flood (in his PM to me, he told me "Bite me". Is that more mature than swearing?), which causes him to open a second thread wherin he tells us that the three day ban will be gone in a month or less.

TF?!?!

You may not like it but each dya I come home to complaints and I just wanna meet half way with you guys, yer welcome to swear...just censor it please.

...?

So he finally gives up a list of words:

Just basic Swears

F*ck
Sh*t
B*tch
C*nt
C*ck
*ss (Thats more tolerated than the others though)

And the big ones like that

This may be a bad decision and I may have lost good people with it but its necessary and I hope in time those of you who trust me can see that :/


Those "good people" he mentions? People he flamed to no end because he would act like a right moron to them. See, not long ago, he instituted a ruling about 'no flaming the n00bs'--which meant 'no saying anything to n00bs that could be even remotely construed as a flame including correcting their spelling or grammar'. Which would be a wank in and of itself, really.

You know, his list of basic swears almost reads like a South Park song.

On Monday she's a bitch, on Tuesday she's a bitch, Wednesday through Saturday - she's a bitch. Then on Sunday, just to be different, she's a super King Kamehameha Biatch!

Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch
She's a stupid bitch, Kyle's Mom's a bitch
And she's such a dirty bitch!

Ah Serebii. If you need Pokewank you can always count on them for it. Or just wank in general. I'm so glad that I never became a part of that forum, we have enough deranged poke-hijinks with good-old pedophiliac Endgame and his 3 alts over at the GameFAQs boards.

Serebii is a great site for info but for community I suggest going somewhere else.

To compare, the Bulbagarden swear rules are basically "say what you like, but don't be a dick about it".

I generally won't join a forum that has stricter rules than that. Partially because I like the freedom to curse and partially because I don't like children who don't lie about their age online (because if I can't *tell* they're a kid, then I don't give a rat's ass how old they are...)

Also, iconlove.

Christ Yes! There's Nothing Worse Than Seeing Curses Like, Say, "For Christ's Sake" On A Message Board. Especially When They Are In This Format.

I was on a vaguely-anime board once where the owner, annoyed by all the goddamned fucking swearing, installed a...script thingie (technical term) that turned any profanity into more benign (and often hilarious) words. This meant that whenever anybody wrote about Japanese pencil boards, they were called "poopieajiki."

I installed a board on my webspace once that had a swear-censoring feature where you could tell it exactly what to replace stuff with...I made it so if anyone said "fuck", an animated .gif of "FUCK" written out in blinking Christmas lights would show up (I never got around to making .gifs for any other profanity). Sadly I had no actual use for the board, or anyone to post on it.
This lame personal anecdote brought to you by germs and boredom.

I was on a board once, I believe it was Pojo, and I was commenting about Batman: The Animated Series. Needless to say, a certain sidekick became **** Grayson.

I've dealt with forums with profanity-replacing scripts. I've learned to play with symbols because of it.

ƒµ¢khead ŧ§hØle ©üntßuggers cannot stop the twooo pwofanity wiff dere widdle filters. (But if I'd seen any with nifty nonsense words instead of asterisks, I wouldn't bother. I just got tired of reading people post about how they didn't want to date the first Tom, **** or Harry who asked them.)

I'm showing my age here, but now I'm thinking about George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can't Say On Television" routine.

I've heard of the routine, but never actually heard it. Is it true you can now say five of them?

Probably, but I haven't heard the routine in so long I don't remember what all of them are. Plus I haven't watched regular TV in an extremely long time. (I wish I had, but I haven't.) I do remember one of them being "tits," can you say that now?
