VOTE ON WHAT YOU THINK IS BEST FOR THE FORUM— BUT READ THE THREAD FIRST.
We and the staff have been talking, and we've decided that we need to make a decision for this forum. There's too much of a grey area in the form of swearing right now that's too impractical to moderate. Its very hard to define what defines as worthy of a warn and what doesn't under the current rules, and its currently rather unfair– many users are being warned when they really did hardly anything wrong and others are escaping a more deserving penalty because of uncertainty.
If the former option is decided upon, then swearing will be prohibited completely. All images/memes must have swear words censored out of them, all posts with swear words will have them edited out, and we will crack down on users who fail to not use these words, and the forum will be cleaner.
If the latter option is decided upon, then all swear words will be allowed for usage in any form. People will be allowed to use them appropriately without fear of punishment, whether you like seeing them or not, as long as they aren't used in ways that break other rules (no racism, harassment etc.)
By voting you can influence our staffs final decision. This is not necessarily decided on completely by the forum, but this is so that we can see what the general population of the forum wants. -(on behalf of RyanAB)-

If swear censors are removed, will all people who have received warnings from censor bypassing get those removed?

Just so people have some background to this: basically the GD Forum staff Discord went to crap after we couldn't figure out an appropriate warning for some guy who technically swore and we had this huge argument and there were like fifty strawpoll.me links in the chat and basically it was spam. So please take this seriously so we can hopefully come to a decision.

I bet LuMaIchArgI is going to either quit this forum or get permabanned if swearing is prohibited ( ๑‾̀◡‾́)σ» (jk, it's just a joke)

Can you have an option for most being allowed except for the really bad words (like the f word)

I really think that any really bad words that are homophobic, racist or sexist shouldnt be allowed, but other than that it doesn't matter.

No censors there's honestly no good use for them, they don't accomplish anything :/

How about this: Swear words are allowed, but with specific rules so that we don't have threads in Forum Games called "list all swear words that you know" or have people making racial slurs or doing generally inappropriate things.
"Oak's words echoed... There's a time and place for everything, but not now."
