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.

I mostly agree with you around here, oh Great One of Walmart, but to assert that "WTF" is the same as using "Fuck" or even "F*ck" or even "F**k" in a thread title is absurd.

I guess I'm just not smart enough to see how fuck is different than fuck.

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.

You post this...5 minutes later my post is edited.

I think you are not understanding what "masked profanity" means.

Must spread rep, but you are 100% correct (not about the "not being smart enough" part!!)

I didn't edit it, or request it to be edited.

Someone on the staff apparently did though.

To be clear, I'm not a moderator. I resigned years ago.
(lots of people think I am because of the confusing "title")

I think it means this: F**K. WTF is an acronym. It could stand for What the Flip, What the Fudge or World Taekwondo Federation. I'm not daft, I'm stubborn!
