over-use of the word 'c*nt'

[Mr_Happy]

am i the only one that thinks this word is grossly overused and is unpleasant to read? it cant look too appealing to the newbies on the board if they see everyone calling everyone else c*nts.

 

i was wondering if maybe it is worth censoring this word again like it used to be?

[Claire DC]

Most of the time its only used in jest, it really doesnt bother me to read it!! Afterall it is a clubbin site and with clubbin ur obviously gonna encounter some foul mouths And even if it is censored, you know what is meant by it anyway so why bother?!

i dont like the word but it dont usually bother me, it just shows those that use it dont have much of an imagination and cant think of anything else to say

ooh I wonder if cheeky will see this post!!

 

She hates it!!!!

[CreamyC]

I get more offended reading some of your posts Happy bollocks.

Laurence,

 

Agreed - its used so much its actually lost its meaning and is more boring than people trying to be 'random'

 

also agreed about censoring it but the majority say not to..

 

I know for a fact that we turn away many potential US members who HATE most swear words we use over here

Agreed Luu, its laziness. I can't stand the word, no matter who is using it. I know that on here we can't stop people from using it but if people say it in my compnay i say something & would hope that they would refrain from using it.

 

I think we should censor it

censoring it might not be the answer but maybe deleting a post which says nout but "you cunt" or "your a cunt" might get the message across to the ppl who constantly have to post the word which is NOT big,clever or funny but just very boring.

also the mods (the ones who use the word)needs to refrain from doing so to set an example,after all their the ones who dont like it when ppl dont respect them when they do their job.

to be honest i couldnt be bothered to read through the posts one day last week cause the word had been used so much.

and for the record its only a problem on this forum,its not a word ppl seem to insist on useing anywhere else.

i think that actually this word is mainly used by a certain few people and not by most of us. I use it very occasionally (bout once a week) but some people use it regularly.

 

I agree that mods shud refrain from using it to set an example.

[LittleMissLoud]

I know this will piss some people off, but I use the word as it is part of everyday language in the area I have grown up in, and round here it is not really a term of disgust.

 

However, I am aware that some people find it very offensive.

 

Maybe mods should set an example, or maybe it should be sensored, but then again, you can't sensor people saying it in real life, and in a sense, these boards are just an electronic form of talking to others.

[Louise]

very true,

 

in the pub where i work, its the only word that will get you a formal warning then barred because the landlord finds it so offensive,

Yup.

 

You cannot stop anyone from swearing.

 

If you don;t want the word on the board, though, sensor it. Simple.
