Question to Mods

[dstopsky]

Why do you asterick out the word p.i.s.s.? I don't remember it ever being offensive in the states and over here it's quite common (such as i got p.i.s.s.e.d. last night or don't take the p.i.s.s.).

 

[macEfan]

They probally want to set a good example

 

[Macman]

and they are enforcing the rules strictly, that may be a word they consider offensive in general, or disrespectful?

 

[schweb]

Because it is considered strongly inappropriate in the United States and most places outside of Britain.

 

[torchy]

Normal everyday use Down Under not just the UK.
Just offensive in the US, maybe.

 

[PowerBookG4]

its not considered one of the nicest words in the united states.

 

[Graphite]

Correct. Eitherway, we prefer that you do not use it.

 

[PowerBookG4]

a question to the mods from me... Since it has been explained to him why it can not been seen, why does it remain in his origional post?

 

[Graphite]

for example

 

[PowerBookG4]

ohh, i understand so now people know not to use the word in the future if they see this post, I thought about that, but did not know why you would leave it in since it is against the rules, but i guess since it was an example post it was ok.

Normal everyday use Down Under not just the UK.
Just offensive in the US, maybe.

Hence why I said most places outside of Britain, not only Britain.
