I sent a message to Admin, but apparently he's really busy or something, because I haven't gotten a reply.
Nevertheless, I would like to voice my disappointment, and alert other members of this.
It seems that the word "s" "u" "c" "k" and the word "p" "i" "s" "s" are being censored here on the board.
I do not approve of this. The word "s" "u" "c" "k" is a legitimate English word, as in the vaccuum ***** up the dirt from the floor. This word should not be censored at all. Furthermore, the potentially "offensive" connotation (i.e.: "This *****!") is not offensive in the least. It is a common usage and I don't see any way that someone can become offended because of this word. As an example, see my signature. It doesn't make sense when the word is censored, but it is not offensive in the least.
The second word, "p" "i" "s" "s", is a word that can be used idiomatically, and is not offensive. For example, one can say, "That guy ****es me off!". This is not an offensive statement in this instance, "****es me off" is synonymous to "angers me". Again, there's the potentially "offensive" usage, synonymous to "urinate". However, this is not an offensive usage in the least, because it is also a commonly used synonym to "urinate", and therefore should not be censored.
I would appreciate immediate action by any administrator to uncensor these words. This is not right, and while I admit that it is not a very bad problem, I still do not think that these two words should be censored. I can think of 100000x more offensive words than "s" "u" "c" "k" and "p" "i" "s" "s" (for example, take the word "s" "u" "c" "k", and then change the "s" to an "f"). THOSE are the words that should be censored, and I do not object to their censoring someone might be offended by them. But "s" "u" "c" "k" and "p" "i" "s" "s" are not offensive, and should be taken off the list of censored words.
Thank you.
