I believe as this community is essentially a parliamentary session, any vulgar or obscene commentary should be strongly discouraged. Much like the speaker of the house, moderators should consistently remind those who break the above guideline to refrain. Repeat offenders / extreme examples should be subject to a temporary ban.
Thoughts?
edit: I wonder what people think is the purpose of downvotes? Do you not want to have the discussion?
Half Nay.
Swearing’s great fun, so many cool words.
Though calling people certain names shouldn’t be allowed.
See, I got banned from beehaw for sharing my experience with being Rainbow. As an example of homophobia I’ve encountered, I used the British Cigarette word as that’s what I was called. This got me banned, even though it wasn’t directed at anyone.
And yeah, I think downvotes should be disabled. For Reddit it was to reduce spam, but with today’s tech, spam isn’t exactly that much of an issue.
