Good point, and I agree. This is a nice place most of the time.

But we have that other ****ing system in place just in case any one of you *******s gets out of hand and posts a bunch of ****!

I noticed the other day that the Terms of Use say in part,

"if it would not be allowed on U.S. network primetime television, it will most likely not be allowed on Head-Fi's forums."

In view of the seven-letter word I heard on ER the other week

I suspect that guideline may be due for some tweaking.

Hahaha, nice job mods.. Oh the irony..

Can you say ****? ****? Edit: Guess not.

I found out the N word, and it's variations are not blocked. Along with other racial slurs. Not trying to offend anyone, just experimenting.

Quite frankly, I think that's a load of

And on the original topic, I wonder if Matsu****a is still censored. Edit: Guess that got fixed.

Which brings me to the point of 'why censor at all' =\

Paging George Carlin and his Seven Dirty Words.

FCC v. PACIFICA FOUNDATION, 438 U.S. 726 (1978)

No link, some NSFW language in the opinion. Worth reading to see how obscenity is legally treated in the US.

It's the ****ing internet, censorship is so hit and miss that sometimes I wonder if any amount of "protection" is really doing anything.

Funny thing is, I've never quite been clear what good the "protection" was supposed to do in the first place. (Beyond avoiding being screened by other forms of "protection")
