    I Have A Question...

    I don't have an opinion either way about banning or not banning certain words. Granted, anything can be taken too far and even though we're adults, we should exercise some common sense and respect. Destee, this is your place of business and I respect that very much. I use cuss words very sporadically and only to reinforce the mood I'm trying to portray. However, I don't understand why some words are represented by astericks in certain places and not others. If the words **** and ***** are going to show up on the title page, then why are they censored within the poem itself? ( And this goes for certain cuss words as well)

    I'm sorry yall, I thought I could take it, but I can't.

    The ban on the following words is back on:

    **** **** ***** ****** **** ****

    So there won't be any discrimination regarding **** and ***** ...
    they are both on the ban list now.

    Anyone who has a forum that allows any and every type of
    conversation and dialogue, I commend you and wish you much
    success with it.

    If anyone would like for me to design, develop and/or manage
    a site for them that allows such, contact me. :wink:

    Danilyn ... the reason those titles are displaying those words is because they were unbanned at first, then banned ... and once the ban was put back on, it didn't include the title. I'm going to manually adjust them now.

    Are you unleashing the ban or are we censoring creativity?!
