Remove Vulgar Thread Titles

[Catholic_Lady]

I would support this if it were to become a rule. As I did when the click baity thread titles were briefly against the rules. It isnt because of being "offended" by vulgarity or anything like that, it would be more for improving the overall quality of the forum, as Chad said. Either way, it doesn't particularly bother me though.

The most vulgar things I've seen on this site had little or no "naughty" words. Shall we make it against the rules to make pro-bigotry or anti-semitic (or whatever else may be deemed vulgar) thread titles as well?

Sure, I would support a rule against bigotry in thread titles if staff decided on it.

I think that the anonymity of the internet tends to allow people to act in a more uninhibited fashion. That said, the railing some xtians make against atheists is just as bad, and just as vulgar, but in another way. Standing there on some alleged "high ground" and calling out what they perceive to be bad behavior. Again, bluenose preaching. This has never been the place for it, and it will be mocked forevermore, anon. I personally love the internet's effect on all that "high and mighty" preaching shit that has intimidated so many for so long. Chad, jam your religious "righteousness" right where the sun doesn't shine. You too, "Banned". If you and your ilk didn't come into any atheist forum, and the rest of the world didn't have your sort out trying to regulate people's behavior, there wouldn't be any complaints about you. Get it? Naw, you have your gawd on your side, and you shits outnumber the unbelievers, so you think that you can just go anywhere and cow people into doing as you say. Those days are over, bub. Tell you what, Banned. Go to Maylasia and reform all those Muslims. Go on, you have your god on your side! Get 'er done!

Lol, he didn't mention religion at all in his suggestion, neither does it imply in any way that religion is a reason for his suggestion.

Anyway, this forum section is specifically designed for forum members to give suggestions and feedback. Chad came in here and did just that, and it was completely unrelated to religion.

I'm not sure why he's getting accused of attacking atheists. Are only the atheist forum members allowed to give suggestions?

Consider Wooter in the past has linked (much like Banning and GC and Dirch ) vulgarity to Atheism. I can quotes if you like .

What if it were decided that discussion of poop were deemed vulgar? There are, after all, people offended by the mere mention of a good BM.

While I'm sure you know I'm not truly serious, I think you can see the point I'm trying to make. One man's vulgarity is another man's poetry and someone somewhere will be offended no matter what the topic or the language used.

In other words as the Bible puts it "As a man thinks, so is he." And many other texts along that line. (But of course the Bible is lies isn't it?

Yup full of lies and this line does not help that case . 

Ordinary situations like the woman who spotted a disciple at the trial of Christ, who was trying to conceal his identity by swearing. (But then again the Bible has no superior wisdom in it does it?)

Nope not a word of wisdom in this absurd derpy sentence .

Lol, I guess it can be funny, depending on the type of vulgarity. There are certain vulgar words I don't like regardless of who I'm with though. Like the C word and and P word for example. I can talk about poop and fart and queef all day though, with anyone who wants to.

This. There are stuff that all of us will find unappealing regardless. I’m cool with f-bombs, but I don’t like poop talk. I tend to not participate in those threads, because it’s not my type of humor, but I don’t mind it when you do. I’m cool with that. It’s your thing. If we start making rules left and right to “improve the quality” of the forums, it will be like a school blackboard where you post your assignments and hope you get it right. I like things the way they are now.

Personally I find it pretty shitty but, like you, I try to be forbearing.

I think we have to recognize both the volunteer nature of the staff, and the enormous difficulty in applying such a rule judiciously.  Regardless of any merit the idea may have, enforcement of this is going to meet the same unworkability issues as the clickbait rule.

I'd prefer the environment to be more civil as well, for what it's worth.  I don't think it can or should  be done via the rules, though.

I'm all for civility .. albeit with a dash of colorful, sometimes salty expression .. just for flavor.

As far as putting people down, I give as good as I get.

Edit: I'll ask again, what are some or our "far less desirable situations"?

You say that you give as good as you get, all you may need to do is quote me to show where it was warranted what you have said about me.
I don't have any record of personally attacking you.

I don't have any "record of personally" attacking you either. Your belief, yes, your delusion, yes. But that is not personal. That applies to all that hold the belief.

If you'd like to supply examples I'll address them. Apparently you've kept a butt hurt list.

Well, that seems to make Neo a great, flaming hypocrite, dunnit?  Pardon while I laugh so hard my gums bleed.

Well, slap my ass and call me Suzie!  Those fucking yeast-ridden, rotten cunts need to tone down their bloody language!  😁

If I'm slappin your ass, Suzie will be an unlikely utterance.
