Do we really need them at this point? Apart from making certain sentences grammatically incorrect, uneffectively missing most of the serious ones and putting *'s in the middle of the most mild of 1950s exclamations there's little that I can see they actually acheive.

We're all big boys and girls now. The only reason to censor us in the first place was so we could get online from school servers. And if that reasoning still holds true, I've seen some far more "offensive" things at the top of the page in the banner with the slogans (which also aren't my favourite thing but I can only do one thing at a time, I'm not John Major).

It also disrupts the flow of how I read. I find it hard enough to concentrate on a computer screen compared to a book page, without the filters.

I find that the starred up version actually looks ruder to me, in the same way penis often sounds ruder than the wang, dong, c*ck, willy, saveloy-mayonaise dispenser slang alternatives.

So, could you? Could you give back our f*ckst?

I quite like the banners, although I think they need a bit more variety

I don't like the banners since they basically became 4chan-meme generators.

Or pawn.

I'm considering starting using words near enough to the rude one when I post, but I don't know if that would get irritating or not.

The banners really annoy me, because they're basically funny to about two people. Replacing it with a list of VR quotes was suggested once and would be a much better idea. Also I hate the word 'meme'.

How can you hate the word meme?

It's the least offensive word since sniggledywingwong.

I reckon someone should start a thread where people post their favourite quotes from the Quote of the Day/I'll get my Quote threads...they're too much to trawl through for one person (I've tried) and if there's a thread everyone can contribute to, there's more likelyhood we can create a list that everyone will be happy with.

SAMMY!! EVERY BANNER SHOULD BE A SAMMY QUOTE!!

Kidding, cos that would be incredibly annoying after 2 seconds. But I like that idea, and am already trying to think of ones to add to it (I will be adding a few Sammys anyway)

Technically sexy.

yes, but like a whole list of topics- like the spam or rants ones- belonging only to people who wanted a column.

Anyway, as Claire probably suggested, lets have p*rn thread (but no children).

For most shaming effect, I read that in a very stern Father Ted telling Dougal off voice.

My answer is therefore "...Mine Ted ".

I was thinking it more in a sarcastic Irish humour kinda way. So yes, a Father Ted voice

I dont see all the fuss about offending people etc. Surely thats the whole point of the internet. I may have offended Claire with my witty retort. But isnt that the point of the internet? Making fun of people who you know are too far away to track you down and hit you, as I'm sure Claire would do so to me.

maybe a mod should just send a PM to everyone saying

"Dear Member,

As I'm sure you are aware, you are a c*nt. Please refrain from being a c*nt for the rest of your life.

And if you just got offended by this message, you do not belong on VR"

Not a bad idea, actually....

See, I'm not offended. I'm just paranoid that I'm the only one who has actually received this PM...
