Remove Vulgar Thread Titles

[Neo-Scholastic]

I object 100% to the idea that swears are "vulgar" and need to be stemmed in any way, shape or form.

You seem to think that making a suggestion is equivalent to condemnation. I do not condemn vulgar titles because they vulgar. I just think AF would be better if there was less of them. Some, like me, would welcome such a rule. Others, like you, would not. It seems to me that you're the one presenting a self-righteous tone, accusing me of being sanctimonious because I hold the opinion that people should tailor their language to the intended audience or venue, including whether or not to use words that are generally considered vulgar or offensive.

The question I raised in the OP has nothing to do with making an "objective" judgement on what is or in not offensive; but rather, to request a rule that the staff apply their consensus judgment to thread titles that, in their collective judgement, are blatantly vulgar, in the same way that they already use their judgement to remove or alter titles that negatively characterize entire groups of people without qualification. (Maybe, like the clickbait rule, they don't do that anymore, I don't know.)

It all depends on what kind of community they, not I, want AF to be. I can only prompt them to reflect on the question based on my own opinion of what AF is like now and what AF could be. I fully recognize the volunteer nature of forum moderation. If staff feel it is unworkable, undesirable, or just to time-consuming for them to deal with annoying prudish complaints then so be it. It was just a suggestion.
