Looks like TK "updated" the TOS (thread on the Knottie Tech Help board). Anyone who's been here know what has changed? It looks like maybe they might crack down on "vile language" and vague meanness, plus...are flags back? Are they real? Curious.

    No! One of my favorite things about this board is that I can say fuck. I can't on the other message board I'm on.

    If they don't want vile language then they need to block the words that they don't want. They can't just pick and choose which words are okay and when.
    I feel like we should do a test. Fuck shit balls dick ass pussy!
    Let's test the flag system!
    Go for it. I'm too new to have been here for the previous iteration of flagging, so hopefully my account can "take it" if someone test-flags me...

    @KnotPorscha what changed then?  I mean, who decided that "vile language" isn't OK anymore?  I seem to remember one of the KGs saying something like "you will not be banned for swearing.  We're all adults here" sort of thing before.

    "Vile" covers a lot of ground. I think "phlegm" is a vile word.

     They suggest keeping it "PG 13." Good idea, if you're 13. 
    Oh, well, not my board, not my rules. Maybe I need to look harder for good euphemisms. FFS.

    That's good, for all those 13 year old brides around here.
    Child-brides need forums, too. Or something.

    PG13 movies allow for the use of the word Fuck twice. So I can fuck twice per post thing? 

    Of course I'm well over the age of 13. And when I was 13 I said fuck a lot more then twice. Oh fuck, I've used it more then twice in one post.

    Maybe they'll change it back to *no no word.*

    I have heard the F bomb used in PG 13 movies. 

    I thought there was discussion about making flags/report button public.  Is that the case?  There was most certainly discussion about making moderators public.  Did any of you OMH's who volunteered for mod get approached by the KG's?

    Subjectivity will be quite interesting.  If a poster (and this has happened) screams, "attacked" and "bullied" for an idea called out as "rude", Lord knows what could happen with these flags again.

    Before I signed up, I totally stalked the shit out of this place. And I loved that I could say fuck. Every other message board I've been on is all "Gasp! No! Not...the cussing!!!" and I'm like fuck that fucking shit. Then I saw TK and was like...I can cuss! I can say fuck, ass, shit, damn, hell, and even OMG!!! (I got in trouble in another place because someone might be offended by OMG). 

    No one is taking away my right to say fuck! (may not be an actual right, I fuck a lawyer, I'm not one myself)
    It wasn't always this way though.  For a long time you couldn't cuss or you could but it was only the "tame" cuss words.  I think they made the change to the cuss words about a year or so ago.

    If you don't say 'I object!' every time she tries to do something you don't like, I am sorely disappointed.
    I'm working that in from now I promise!

    I'm curious who gets to determine what is "vile". I'm from Jersey, and certain words are just part of our normal lexicon.
    My daddy is from Tom's River, and was not allowed to play with the neighbor kids because he cursed so much. At FOUR YEARS OLD. My first word, EVER, was 'shit.' It was not a windy day when the apple fell off of that tree.

    I don't know what's going to happen if I am not allowed to cuss.

    Well why would they change it back after such a short time. That would be fucking stupid.

    Oh my gosh!  That was my first word too!!

    I dropped my pacifier in a pile of horse manure, put a hand on my diapered hip, and said quite clearly, "SHIT."  My mom found it fucking hilarious.

    That makes me think of vagina. Can I still say vagina? Because my grandmother used to tell me my vagina was called my "no no", I was pretty sure she was wrong because my mom said it was called my vagina. 

    Also I used the word vagina four times. Well five now. I'm impressed by me.

    Who knows. I stopped trying to figure out what they are trying to do to these boards ever since they decided to get rid of the mods.
