An obvious example: I can't just start calling people "nigger" and tell them not to care because it's just a word. I dont think that would fly, as it shouldnt. Words have meaning.
Again, I'm not complaining about all the vulgarity on AF's main page via thread titles. No skin off my back. But do I think it is somewhat trashy looking? Yes. Yes I do. I don't think anyone should be criticised for having that opinion.
Hmm I mostly just look at “my posts” with an occasional peek at “new posts”. I don’t see any swear words in any titles right now. I must be confused about what main page you mean because when I look at the main page I just see a list of forums and sub forums and no actual titles. I think it’d be cool if people just didn’t use really vulgar words in their titles but I don’t think we should have a rule against it, mainly for reasons I already said like that it would be impossible to agree on which words were ok and which are too vulgar for titles, but also because I think the rules should be the bare minimum to keep the forum running and whenever possible we shouldn’t limit people on what they’re allowed to say here.
I don’t know if it’s because I don’t pay attention or what but I don’t really think we have that many posts with vulgarities in the titles.
