I have a couple of questions for the Mods. This is not criticism, but honest questioning.
I'm sure this has come up in the past, but I'd like it if someone could give me the rationale for editing certain language out of thread responses. Is it simply because we are a family site? Are we required to monitor language in order to maintain this status?
Are specific words automatically replaced by asterisks or is this done manually? If automatic; how is it that some sneak through? (I read a post with an F-bomb embedded the other day. It was refreshing).
In my world, specific language is much less horrifying than some of the inflammatory or hairbrained ideas that many of us come up with. (My Willy for Durant trade thread, for example).
Besides, I'm tired of trying to act like Alan Turing in order to decipher what 17 to 85 is saying, by counting the asterisks and replacing them with letters.
