you're posting in AIBU about another formus which isn't this one? Because fucking or fecking is very definitely allowed here.

If it's another forum, why are you asking on here?

KeepServingTheDrinks · 15/08/2018 01:03

forum!

Stick with mn.
You can fuck all you feckin like on here.
It’s great.

Fecking and fucking are not remotely the same thing.

woolythoughts · 15/08/2018 01:05

It’s a Facebook debate forum I use.

They made me change fucking to fecking but allowed numerous pages of unintelligible drivel because apparently it’s inclusive.

Feck is Father Ted,

fuck is fuck.

Feckless?

HotblackDesiatoto · 15/08/2018 01:07

Feck and fuck are the same thjng

you couldn't be more wrong. Its a common British misconception

Feck doesn't sound offensive at all. It's like the child-friendly version of fuck (sort of)! Like crap/shit.

Fuck is offensive.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

Have you tried posing your question to the powers that be at the forum in question? How the fuck will anyone here know what the feckin ins and outs of their policy is?

There is a reason you can say fecking all over the tv where you would not say fucking. It's not at all the same word. For example feck has no sexual meaning. You can't feck someone (unless you pick them up and feck them over a wall or something). It's a much much lighter word, you can say it in front of your grenneh who would clip your ear for even thinking the word fuck!
