If MN banned swearing would you leave?

[BastardGoDarkly]

I have no inside info. Just pondering really.

Yes

Why the fuck would they ban swearing? (Vote leave)

Fuck yeah

Fuck yeah!

personally I don't swear, either in real life or on here. So for me it wouldn't make much difference.
And at times I find the swearing just gratuitous, and unnecessary.

But I like the fact that swearing is just one part of the freedom of speech that we try and get on here. Not overly moderated, not being told what to do, allowed to been grown ups and if you want to swear, go ahead.
So I do think it would fundamentally change something about the site if you weren't allowed to swear, so I don't want them to change it.

They wouldn't it's called 'The one with the swearing'

Every now and again though, there's threads about the language in here, and amongst all the "we fucking like it" and fottfsof.. there's quite a few posters in agreement.

I don’t really tend to swear on here but would probably leave on principle, as I’m an adult and don’t appreciate being told to watch my language.

Yes but I don't honestly see how they could, there must be thousands and thousands of posts a day, in my experience 98% of them contain a swear word!

Like a bloody shot.

I wish they’d ban posters who post fing p taking bleeped out swearies though. That’d be a better option.

in my experience 98% of them contain a swear word!

Do they bollocks!

Swearing, big, clever, and very, very funny. The asterisk posters I automatically assume are trolls.

If nothing else, the amount of swearing means the Daily Mail, and other shit newspapers have their fucking work cut out if they want turn threads into stories.

There’d be fuck all on here.

I'd be gutted, but I'd have to leave.

• swearers used to get pulled up on it, but there's just too many now

Dont think id have a fucking choice they would request me to leave

Yes

Yes, what a bloody cheek.

I find it funny that of the three sites I often read and comment on, only this one has no filter to stop fucking swearing. The other two are football related. I assume the moderators here trust us to swear appropriately, as in not to swear at posters, but to swear at situations.

I never swear, and ignore threads with swear words in the title. A ban would therefore not really affect me.

Another site I use a lot for my work has a total ban on swearing.

Yes.

I don't approve of swearing at all.

Yes, fucking yes!

Yes, because it would be prissy.

I wouldn't, am a prolific vocal swearer but it doesn't have the same buzz for me writing it down
