Yes, you CAN post the name of the video, as long as you edit or censor the objectionable word. Everyone will know what you mean.
On the other hand, if the video you're suggesting is 'Getting Jiggy Wit It', I think you'll be fine.

The video in question is "Why White People Can't Say 'N*gger". It fits here right now so beautifully.

Wouldn't it be simpler - and better to simply prohibit whatever offensive word in whole?
After all - the symbology of written word is a substitution for verbal communication -- and the swapping of letters is just substituting a substitute.
Anyone with a bare minimum of literacy mentally corrects any substitution - making the word wholly readable.
Sh* t, * hit, shi*, --- the positioning of the cypher swap really doesn' t help.
You know what they' re saying - the communication is complete - and the offensive word still used.
Just seems more honest to me.

Lol. I went through all the trouble of splitting the thread and now people don’t know where to post what hehehe. I feel like your post directly relates to the new rule and so would be more appropriate in the original thread

I'm not the one who painted management into a corner. I'm just the one that pointed out the bullet hole in the foot.
Lol, what corner? Let me ask you this, GS. If you’re so concerned about free speech, why don’t you object to mods policing trolls and flaming? The method we use for evaluating the potential breaching of those rules is the
same method we use for
every rule including this one. Why is it just this one has your panties in a bunch? Do you just have a hard-on for the N-word? Keep in mind there are like, a whole two of you stamping our feet over this. Maybe, try to be less of a drama queen.
