Why do you guys think they allow the F word on MMA and not here.  There are minors on both sites.  That seems totally bizarre to me.

The fact that they censor it on here is f**king stupid, anyways.

I didn't know that.  LOL  I can't fathom the rationale for it.

I thought I read once that they said it was because "metal people" are more accustomed to foul language and thus it would be normal to have it, whereas here that is not the case.  But it can't be that ridiculous, can it?

It is because of some of the band names, I think.

Issues of censorship usually are.

Yes, it certainly can be that ridiculous.

Somebody started racking up fraudulent charges on my CC today.  I had just checked all my groceries and swiped the card only to have it beep "declined."  Had I not had a second card on me it would have been very embarrassing.  LOL

Wonder where they got my number.  Anyway Wells Fargo caught it really fast.  I asked how and they said it was because they made 3 purchases outside of my "norms".....boom....they shut it down.

That sucks Jim, but looks like WF was on top of things....won't cost you anything except inconvenience.

I gotta ask an Admin about that.  Not that I care about swearing one way of the other, but it just is bizarre they would have different rules for two music sites with large numbers of co-users.  I'd love to hear the official rationale.

The reason they took the censor away from MMA was to make it simpler to link to URL's which had swearwords in them, which inlcudes plenty of artist and album names on the site.

I remember talking about it in the first Shred Room over there but that thread is hidden now.

That makes sense for artist pages in the database, but they could still disallow the use in the chat/forum.

They would be doing people a favor by not allowing people to link to W.A.S.P.
