Can I get a moderator who isn't biased to fix this poll?

The fact that the whole thing is actually in dispute frightens me too. EVEN IF cr- wasn't a swear word, if someone censored one word of mine that was found offensive in a different country, I wouldn't complain. I guess that's just me though. Free speech is more important to some people than courtesy. Oh well. To each his own. But as it IS a swear word, I've censored it up 'till now.

Welcome to America, the home of Lusternia where free speech is a -right- not a privilege.

This is pure idiocy. The word C-R-A-THE FIRST LETTER OF POODLE is used freely everywhere in the English-speaking world. You being the only person who reads these forums and thinks that 'crap' is a swear word does not justify the fact that you now see the need to go through and edit every single post that has the word stated above in capital letters.
Numpty. Lumpy.

After search, I stumbled onto a post where one person called another person "Baka." As this would be considered offensive in Japan (yes, I speak Japanese), I would like this censored. Thanks.
Shiri2005-02-27 20:05:08
Apparently it isn't, Narsrim, as in Estarra's post instructions were to censor bad language. If you're going to argue with me, don't even -try- to argue on that basis. Your basis would, if anything, be that cr- is not a swear word.

And unless Estarra was raised in a radical conversative family in the States, I doubt she will object to the word crap (which I doubt given IRE is based in California, I believe)
Narsrim2005-02-27 20:08:03
How old are you Shiri? I'm curious.
Shiri2005-02-27 20:08:50
We'll see, then, if that's the case. Oh, and as baka means idiot, if I remember correctly, it's a personal attack. I imagine it was meant in a purely inoffensive way in the situation, however.
I like the accusations of "bias" being flung out when bias has absolutely nothing to do with even the ACCUSED flaw in moderation, incidentally. I suppose "bias" means "disagreeing with me."

Silvanus2005-02-27 20:09:56
No, bias means as in you are the only one who has censored out the word crap.

Read the post. It was purely offensive.
Shiri2005-02-27 20:11:10
...Silvanus? That's not what bias means. That's like...saying...Geomancers are biased, because they're the only ones in Magnagora with demesnes. It just doesn't make any sense.
Silvanus2005-02-27 20:13:05
Yes it makes sense. You are biased, biased towards everyone who uses the word crap. I saw you censor out Ialie's post, but 3 posts after that the word crap was used and you didn't censor that one. But 5 posts after that post, Ialie posted again and said the word crap, and that wasn't censored out.
Shiri2005-02-27 20:15:00
That would be because I am and was fielding so much rubbish from several of you that I miss things. That and I'm not infallible anyway. And to make things worse, sometimes people go back and edit their posts AFTER I've edited them, so it slips under the screen anyway. 
Narsrim2005-02-27 20:17:33
Shame on George Carlin for not including Crap in his list of the 7 words that you never hear on television... oh wait.

Hmmm...I wonder what would happen if I took out a pair of dice and challenged Shiri to a game of CRAPs?
Shiri2005-02-27 21:08:13
Same sort of thing as if you were talking about how you just bought some shitake mushrooms.
Faethan2005-02-27 21:09:42
Good. Karma is CRAPs, Shiri's moderating is CRAPs. CRAPs CRAPs CRAPsITY CRAPs CRAPs.
Shiri2005-02-27 21:14:37
Uh...good for you.
Erion2005-02-27 21:29:02
Crap, mate. We're all bloody riding Shiri.
Shiri2005-02-27 21:31:53
...huh?
