Forum:Userbox PINGAS Ban

Forums: Index > Site discussions > Userbox PINGAS Ban

We do our best on this wiki, I'll say. We've gotten rid of the "UMAD Bro?" memes and others, but I believe Spyro had made a forum about banning the word "PINGAS," a meme that is used on Youtube. If so, could we get rid of the following images, as it is a direct loop-hole around the banned word. Plus, it's nasty, and can be offensive.

Just asking a question. Template:BlueSig 19:27, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

We don't need a forum for something as minor as this. Forums are for site discussions regarding new features, major changes or personal concerns about how a policy may be enforced, etc. But attempting to have an image deleted just isn't necessary for a forum. The best thing to do would be to contact an administrator on their talk page. But since we're here, I will ask, how is this userbox offensive? PINGAS has no meaning. Did it not originate from Robotnik's famous quote, "Snooping as usual, I see?" This userbox seems harmless, but feel free to prove me wrong. Template:DFSig19:35, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

I think it's rather nasty. I have no clue why I put offensive, but if someone is to mention a joke nasty on chat, they probably will get banned. Oh and yet we have a userbox that is a loop-hole around this. Someone could very easily bring a link of that userbox and can make someone feel weird. Template:BlueSig 19:40, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Personally, I think the meme has no place here, especially in mainspace. It's crude, unnecessary, and irritating. What did we say here, after all? As for the userbox...I guess it might be harmless (although I really want it gone). It makes me "fell weird", as Blue said, and PINGAS is obviously a substitute for another word, so I'd say it has meaning in this case. Template:SUsig19:44, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Ah, there might be something that I didn't know about it. Can you tell me what Pingas is a substitute of? Don't worry, you won't get in trouble. If it's that bad, I'll have this userbox deleted immediately and of course issue out warnings to those who use that word. I don't think it's necessary to have a blacklist of words that shouldn't be used. It's common sense. Template:DFSig19:49, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Ummmm..... It's a male anatomy. Template:BlueSig 19:50, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

What Blue is trying to say is it's the word "penis" in another language. Template:Sig/SG79 19:52, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

I see. Good enough. I'll take care of this and have this forum closed as soon as I'm done, unless there's something else related to this that needs to be banned/deleted? Template:DFSig19:53, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

DF, here's another one:

Found it earlier too. Template:BlueSig 19:55, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! This one will be deleted too. Template:DFSig19:58, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, DF. It was bothering me. Template:BlueSig 19:59, March 13, 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome. I'm actually surprised this wasn't brought up sooner. Template:DFSig20:02, March 13, 2013 (UTC)
