Did you know you're allowed to use profanity on Y!A?

There are ways around the word censor. You just have to be very creative

I find that strange, because I reported someone for advertising in response to one of my questions (dear friend please come to my yahoo store for fine quality chinese gifts blah blah blah) and their answer was removed within 24 hours. I was impressed, because I seriously didn't think anyone was listening.

If you go to the 'report abuse' link, you don't actually have a selection for 'profanity'. Technically it's a slur, but you could use that term [d***crat, right? ;) ] in a way that it wasn't a 'slur' as such.

I think it should be removed. I didn't know the checker would permit the F word to appear, no matter how embedded in other words it is. I know it's now a common word, but sheesh, it doesn't have to be.

You haven't established a feud between you two have you? Maybe they take previous action between people into account?

Of course I *could* boycott, but that would kind of ruin your stand here.

ok, as a reader I regularly do unlike as tale that has f*ck extra circumstances that the different notice. i do no longer ideas d*mn, b*tch, sh*t, b*stard etc. i'll definitely no longer study a e book that i locate the notice c*nt in. I hate that notice. The e book could be properly written, thrilling, and captivating yet i would not have the skill to study previous that notice. that's my own peeve while it includes books. i think of it somewhat is written with merely as plenty ability employing a various notice. so some distance as cussing in my youngster's books. i think of i could enable them to study something i certainly could study. If it replaced into affected by employing f*ck, then no. i think of there are factors in a e book the place some cussing is mandatory- the two to portray the sentiments in a challenge or to further shape a character. certainly i'm censoring myself so as that yahoo would not censor for me. i think of age somewhat comes into play as properly. i would not enable my 12 year previous study some thing that replaced into too profane- which potential d*mn, and *ss could be approximately it. Now a 14 year previous could have a sprint extra leniency and sixteen 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous could have the skill to study something they felt gentle analyzing (as long as i could study it myself- in spite of subject remember or form) now at 17 i could have not got any say on what he/she study as long because it replaced into interior of criminal obstacles. truthfully i do no longer think of that YA books could incorporate distinctive cussing. by using fact YA refers to all of us from preteen 11 and 12 (a minimum of now a days) as much as twenty-5! i think of that the author could tastefully decrease the cussing that they put in the e book- merely as they do with violence and intercourse scenes. That explains my opinion in an extremely great nutshell. Does this help?
