    That's an interesting way to look at it.

    I don't really see how WTF is different from What the fuck though.

    Really though, it's not just "WTF" - there's masked profanity in thread titles on a routine basis.

    If it's no big deal, then the rules need to reflect that.

    That's a fairly specious argument. Most everyone knows what the F in WTF stands for, same as what f*ck stands for.
    Power always thinks...that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws.

    As the rule is written, seems like a fairly significant difference. I don't see why we need that part of the rule anyway. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    The Lounge

    I thought anything there was ok? To a point. We all must keep other in check, I get that, but its members only. I know I'm the reason for this post, and wasn't aware or just didnt think it out.

    I got the big red infraction banner.

    Were you banned for a period of time?? If so, you must have had some unexpired points riding from a prior infraction. If no prior points, then it seems an error on the admin's part (whether intentional or not).

    I believe the rules apply to the entire forum. For example, you cannot post full nudity even in the lounge, nor make personal attacks, etc.

    I'm not bitching about it. I'm making a suggestion to review the rule on profanity.
    It's either OK, or it's not.

    EDIT: Oh, I see - you think this is about your music video thread.
    No, it's not your thread, it's all of them that pop up.
    If I was a dick, I would have reported it. Like I said though, I don't care about the profanity - just that the rules don't jive with what is routinely posted.
