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...

On SJG I gotta basically leave my cussing at *BLEEP*

 On here I can say fuck, shit and all that kind of stuff - If I want to.

On the Big purple - do they ban for use of cusswords? Or just how you use them?
 Or is it just the "In-Crowd" over there that gets to use them ?

 Silly guy in Cincinnati wants to know - I'm in a mood to really do some cussing over there.

They'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.

 The first two words you mention are not cusswords, they ARE derogatory slurs. I wasn't talking about that.

 Also "cunt" is too strong an invective....I practically never use that one. Met one woman who fit that appelation in deed and action. Local TREK fandom is very glad that she moved out of state.

 
Cusswords as in good 'ol fashioned George-Carlin-made-a-list of them kind of shit.

You'll only get in trouble if you use them on people who are "protected" which these days is about 95% of their membership.

 ...and I'm not one of their trendy well-loved puppies or "keetoms" that they like. (Its spelled kittens damnit!!!)

 Its two threads in roleplaying open. I either want to make jokes there or go off on a cussword-filled rant.  Its borderline right now.

The RPGnet guideline on that is included with the forum rules: "use profanity as a spice, not the main course." A poster won't be banned only for swearing (although, say, swearing at a mod who's warning you not to threadcrap would be tempting your luck), but I'd say that in excessive measures it just looks juvenile and pointless, not edgy or daring.

This ban on swear words is unjust profiling against the Irish!

Or, conversely, you could call TBP the "Keetoms and Krybabys Korner,"...
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

 Someone at work who hated that place before I ever met him has suggested that I should go out in a "Blaze of Glory" .

Hell they've wanted to ban me pretty often.

 I will miss ViperGrrl tho . I'm weird that way.

They've had to drop their standards. I think even I might be worth talking to over there, at this point.

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.
