Very counter-productive towards getting clear establishment on key information. Just thought that I'd take a minute to say that.

Has society at large made its thoughts on what they consider certain taboo (in this case, language and general content) in this day in age known in a way that clearly states what the majority, both vocal and silent, is okay with? Just because a few shows show certain kinds of content doesn't necessarily mean that general opinions shared by moral guardians are changing, too. Also, you know those little white rating boxes they usually show when a TV show starts airing, in order to show the kind of content that show contains? They still use those. And there's various programs that people can get from their cable/Internet providers that allow them to filter out shows containing certain levels of content -- that way they won't have to risk seeing them and complain about seeing them. What you're asking us to take into consideration is not something easily determined. Same reason why I don't think we should take school environments into consideration, because we can't help how those environments individually operate, nor can we take the time to even try to learn how they all operate in order to determine how to handle this problem while taking the schools into consideration. I concur. Censoring the words on this thread has is pointless. Whoever made edits to the posts without author permission, please revert.

Alright. I'll revert my edits. I havn't been doing well on here anyway. I should shut up about what I say and let any kid that finds this forum via main page or recent wiki activity learn new words to use. It was never my intention to let younger kids learn swears. It never has. Just ignore my comments and continue your rambling.

I find your sarcasm quite unnecessary. As was already stated earlier in this discussion, the usage of the language in question is for demonstrative and informational purposes. You saying that we should not allow the examples being proposed to be seen is, as I've stated earlier, counterproductive to what many of us are trying to do here: determine which words/how their used/etc. should be used around this Wiki. So what if a few young children come across this particular forum on the main page? We can't help the sheer number of people who browse various parts of this Wiki, so bringing up the possibility of certain people finding this forum is absolutely pointless.
