Dear MNHQ - Can we have a Swearbox thread with the proceeds going to a jolly good cause?

Jeez my 15 yo DD just walked in and saw that post LL 20.50 I couldn't even think of a cover up or gentle lie or way out or anything! I mean if I had said it was just mkumsnet, she would think I am lying as well as looking at weird swearing boards.
Oh fuckaduck

Methinks certain posters would win every month ......

Although, you could do a top 5 potty mouths list on your talk round up every week......

What about having a SWear Count thread once a month, where poeopl can serach their name against verious expletives and then we can decide what suitable "fines" should be?

Just as a bit o' fun

I think WTF could be excluded, because it is open to artistic interpretation....

But a £1 an expletive is reasonable. 50p a cunt though......

Oh please don't, I will have to just set up a dd or something
unless you decide not to count things like wtfkingf

Sounds like a slippery slope down to NM tbh.
Someone selfrighteously suggesting that I 'pay' for the occasional "shitdamn" would get right on my tits.Am I allowed to say tits?
Interested to read Custy's opinion on this.

Desiderata · 25/05/2007 19:50

I don't disagree with the basic premise, though. It's just the swear box.

Such a huge network ought to be able to raise tangible funds for charity by means of PayPal (or other). A 'Charity a Week', would be good; certain charities proposed by MN'ers, one decided upon for the week, and thereafter an active drive to donate.

But the thread should be separate from other threads, imo.

Crikey franny, you make it sound so very complicated

OP posts:
FrannyandZooey · 25/05/2007 18:51

So is this right, you want MNHQ to email us if we swear, to ask us if we want to donate to a charity, or you want other posters, who see us swearing, to suggest that we do so? We can then decline because it is voluntary?

No I don't think it is a good idea.
