The symbols are ok, it is when there is only one of them inserted into the word that makes it difficult. Use symbols for the entire word and I have no problem. Adults can figure out what you are saying. But is swearing that important? My dad used to tell me that people swear only because they can't adequately express themselves in a civilized manner.
I mod this site as if I had to turn the site over to a 13yr old to read. Will he get some of the adult humor? maybe....maybe not. Kind of like the Shrek movies. There is adult references all throughout the movie but kids don't figure them out. That is fine. "I can't believe Woodson was left off the %$#^*%$ list would be fine. "F$^king" is not. (used strictly for illustrative purposes).
And Brennen, we as mods have been asked by the forum members to PM them when we have changed their posts. It is a courtesy to you not to call you out and so you know that your post was changed. You don't have to like my sending you a PM. You can stop it one of two ways, abide by the rules or leave. That's your call.
And as far as a life goes Brennen, I have a very busy and succesful life. That is exactly why I don't want to spend my limited time on here cleaning up posts of those who choose to inappropriately express themselves. I would rather spend my time reading insightful comments on the Packers and the NFL.
the example of Kimmel is similar to the smack forum. And it is also why Kimmel is not prime time but late late night.
Rule of thumb..... Post what you wouldn't mind sending in email to your parents or kids.
