This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Cusswords and forums...

And we only use one exclamation point, and it's 'RPG.net' too, but we give you a pass...

And as far as I know, nobody particularly 'wants' to ban you on RPG.net, anyhow. That's paranoia or an inflated ego.

Here's my website. It's defunct, but there's gaming stuff on it. Much of it's missing. Sorry.

I've got a blog. Do you read other people's blogs? I dunno. You can say hi if you want, though, I don't mind company. It's not all gaming, though; you run the risk of running into my RL shit.

Quote from: PseudoephedrineThey'll ban you for any swears that they want to take as a group attack or personal attack. "Nigger" and "fag" are insta-bans, "cunt" is borderline. "Fuck" and "shit" are fine though, so long as you're not directing them towards anyone when you use them.

That made me think of a very interesting way to remove those cuss-words from public discourse on TPB and elsewhere -- use them into slurs agains some protected group so that they become hate terms.

The other option is tits, you know.

I've gone on huge rant-fests. Never been bitched at for swearing or group attacks (school administrators of all kinds).

I don't think I'm a darling, either. I'm known, but then again, most of the people here are too ;) :D

Quote from: Spike;282846You might be thinking of the longer handled skillets popular today, but I learned on one handed skillets (good for building the forearm and wrist strength!).  Of course, for spicing while you beat,

Koltar - feared on RPGnet for his tireless efforts to fight the power! Cast down the mods and struggle on for the common man!1!

Oh sorry, that was on Alternate 7123.  This is Alternate 7213.   Sorry pal, but here the Mullet isn't a crime.  You are free to go about your business citizen.
