Why is censorship of certain words allowed and the "F" word not?
A few words that are automatically censored, such as, the "N" word and the three-letter word for rear-end, are quickly blackened out by using asterisks in their place. But the infamous "F" word runs rampant on this board among other sexually explicit words better left to their biological terms.
It seems to me this is a double-standard played by Yahoo!

yes, a foursome standard even. violated i get often for much harmless words and expressions, and dirtier stuff i read in the answers. if you cant let us enjoy our erotica, yahoo has to revise this, and starrrrr alll the sxxx words, and be done with it.
Major oversight? Actually, I heard a couple different things on this word - one being that it's not actually a word, but just initials - nailed onto the front doors of couples of old who needed permission from their king to have children (population control) - the letters are said to stand for "Fornicating Under Consent of the King."
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge...... Personally, the word is so versatile as so many different parts of speech, I think it has lost its sexual connotation, except for when used during the sex act.
Much ado about nothing, me thinks. Over use of the word, however, indicates that the user has limited vocabulary, even more limited intelligence and generally unimaginative when dealing with communicative skills.
