Am I the only one who finds 'whore' an inappropriate 'family' word?
It shows up all over the forums...

I, personally, don't find anything wrong with the phrase "post whore."

I have no problems with the term. I do have problems with certain post whores who frequently triple post.

Extremely annoying.

Even those who do it to highlight its annoyance (*cough*Nick*cough*) seem to do it more than strictly necessary :wink:


...which, of course, it never is.

This is a 'family' forum. Would you say whore in front of your family?

In the US families can hear that word on regular (non-cable) TV. It's not a word I like when applied to someone in a serious way but I do find it kind of humorous in other contexts.

I'm not a person who uses swear words.

And i don't encourage them.

But they are just words aren't they?

I'll point out that swearing and words like "whore" are extremely commonly used amongst kids and teenagers . . . I know 5-year-olds that frequently use worse language than I can find on this forum. Not that that justifies using vulgarity or profanity here, but the whole "protect the kids" thing doesn't make too much sense to me. I did worse than using bad language by the time I was 11 or so . . .

Someone seriously saying "you're a whore" is not appropriate, but "post whore" is not worthy of moderation.

All just my opinion, of course.

Yeah.

Kids swear mainly because they percieve it as naughty.

I wouldn't be adverse to swearing on the forum. I don't think this game is appropriate for kids anyway.
But that's not the point, because it's not a descision for you or I to make.
This forum is a 'family' forum. In order to keep that title, 'whore' should not be allowed.
And I'd like to know what channell has the word 'whore' said repeatedly, in a time of day where kids would be awake.

Well, Fox, for one. The word "whore" was used (in it's ugliest meaning) several times in Firefly whick was shown at 8pm, I believe.

Well, is it a family rated show? If it isn't, then that kind of defeats your point.
