Why do we still have the "no swearing in topic titles" since we can now preview the first post which may contain swears anyway?

[Raven]

I mean, fuck, have some consistency.

Ban swearing from both the topic title and original post or don't ban swearing at all!

I don't actually give a fuck so don't take this shitty topic seriously modmins.

Now that I've made all you reading go "Ooooooooh," please resume with your day. Turrah!

[Klokinator]

Oooooooh

[Djeets]

yay!

Topic titles show up on the homepage by recent topics.

I'd be in favour of banning swearing. It's crass and unnecessary, is unpleasant to read and therefore shows a general lack of respect for others who might be reading your posts.

[Phoenix Wright]

The banning of any words here would be incredibly stupid. 80% of us are adults here, right? And the other 20% are old enough to have heard and seen these words before, let alone using it themselves.

Curse words have their place and are not always unnecessary.

[Momentai~]

How can the first post be previewed? I don't remember ever seeing anything like that.

[Espinosa]

Fuck if I know

[S_Cero]

The titles can't handle swears.

[Florete]

This is a good idea. Expect it to be implemented soon.

Also, since the preview shows the most recent post as well, and since every post is the most recent post at one point in time, swearing in subsequent posts will also be banned.

You hover over a topic and click the arrow down circular icon on the right side.

I swear at a lot of people I respect very much, for your information. Proving that swearing is a sign of anything in particular other than word choice sounds like a Sisyphean task.

don't make me google "define sisyphean"

Greek dude who pushed a rock up in Hades just to watch it roll back down - metaphor for pointless activities. We would've forgotten all about him (or at least those who don't jizz all over Ancient Greece) if it weren't for Monsieur Kaymess.

Those two things are not related in the slightest. I'm pretty sure most people communicate with friends differently to how they communicate with their boss for example. On SF you aren't talking to your friends, you're talking to anyone who reads your posts. Throwing in swearing for no particular reason offends some number of them.

[Espinosa]

I can't agree; we're usually addressing a particular target audience with our posts (rather than just throwing words out there in the open). Context is what makes swearing appropriate or inappropriate.
