In fact I would like a list of what can and can't be said.

If we ask ourselves why is it we edit words if when we read then we read the word as if it were
not edited. Are we humans stupid?. No we are social beings.
What each of us considers a "bad" word depends on our society & community. For example, while almost everybody edits "f**k", nobody edits Jamaican curse words (especially if written by a non-Jamaican or non-resident Jamaican).
So, long ago it was discussed that since kids would read the posts, we would edit these words (they were never listed). Most people edit "sh*t". A few use it ever so often and very few (1-3) use it alot. I still hold to that opinion that these words should be edited. We had a big uproar about the word "b*tch" some time ago (no one seems to remember). Someone who was recently given a 1 month ban has used this word more than once along with others. A newbie, went on a "sh*t" spree with one post and was warned. I have never banned a person
just for posting "sh*t".
Consider that what you post is out on the world wide web for all to see including our kids and use that as your guide.
I also have the opinion that we relax those standards in "The Flirts Nook".
