I just wanted to cite a lyrics line from King Crimson and I couldn't Cry
See how it looks like:

"Health-food fa**** with a bartered bride
Likes to comb his hair with a dipper ride"

Yeah, not only is that rough on the eyes at work, but it is awful.  What year is this, 1985?

Swear censors... really unnecessary?

I think it's a non-issue. Swear censors are generally indicative of good tone.

All you people complaining about ads:

Adblock for chrome, firefox, IE.

It's free and takes a minute to install.

The biggest problem with ads with NSFWish content I think is that the only place you can't block them is at work :P

Yeah, I suppose most do.
I think adblock should be installed on work and school computers by default as no one wants their students or employees to load 10 gigs of flash and graphics on every page, do they?
So it might be worth asking your boss or school system admin. Maybe they'll prove reasonable. Unless you're not supposed to browse commercial sites at your job/school, in which case get back to workWink

Advertisements are not exactly a significant increase in bandwidth. My school's IT can't even be bothered to upgrade some computers from IE 6, why the f**k would they care about adblock?

Yeah I know how schools are, I went to one myself. I was mainly talking about corporate employees.
At school you usually don't get much time to post on PA anyway, unless you're on your smartphone where you can do whatever you want (not that you should).
