Actually this thread didn't go off topic...Breakdown Time:

Someone: The word "gay" is stupid to use on here and offensive.

DLBP: No its not! it means happy!

Kudi: Not it doesn't it means you are a "buttpirate" <---Added my own colorful spin

DLBP: Its still valid!

Kudi: Not it is not this [insert link here] said it isn't

DLBP: Blah

Kudi: Blah

---------------------------------------------
Now to add my 2 pennies: Its a word and it's offensive here. Case closed for you keeping track at home that's me siding with Kudi. Long live team Kudi!

Tune in next week where our next debate will be over "French Fries" vs "Chips" till then this is your host Mako see you next time on...
The Nerd Olympics :P.

It became less about the policy on 'gay' (which isn't a rule, it's just a preference of mine), and more about etymologies and what makes a word a word. Whilst that's very interesting, I think this thread is better used as an opportunity to discuss forum 'censorship'.

On that note, how do we feel about hyperlinks to 'controversial' or adult material? Leave it so long as there's an (NSFW) tag and the link text is clear about where the user is going? Purge them altogether? Or let the reader beware whenever they leave Qhimm.com?

offense can only be taken on the side of the receiver. There is nothing in itself which is ultimately offensive, only when one receives those words as offensive does it become so. Therefore your both right so...

YAY! no more fucking arguing  :mrgreen:

Who said there was no more fucking arguing?  I sure as hell didn't... Those sound like arguin' words, come to think of it.
 
I just translated "You cum guzzling douche bag" into Japanese and got this.
あなたががぶ飲み潅水袋を兼。
And it flipped the sentence.

So now it says "Cum guzzling douche bag you are."

What a disgusting thing to say :-( What does that have to do with the debate going on here? Weird...
 
NSFW links: Allowed with caveats. Posting to content that actually has some sort of content on it that is not pornographic is allowed (ie sanaku). Must have a NSFW notice posted with it. Posting links to pornographic or other questionable content not allowed. Basically if the content you wish to link is not questionable but other things on the site such as advertisements are then use a NSFW tag.

In any case, we should probably announce somewhere that we aren't responsible for the contents of other sites. Just because a site is SFW today doesn't mean it will be tomorrow.

On a similar matter, I think it's also appropriate that posters are responsible for the contents of any image they embed. I'm thinking about anti-hotlinking htaccess traps, where an image is replaced with an offensive alternative when it's embedded into a forum post.
 
Has this really ever been a problem?  Outside of the purposeful spamming of the forum, the worst I can think of are the rare occasions kudistos links to that site he gets his news from.  And even then he always announces it's probably nsfw.
 
I guess not, I just thought I'd be a good time to properly discuss it.
 
If I can just weigh in here, I'd like to agree with Bosola and say I also don't like use of the word "gay" as an insult. I fucking despise the word "faggot", but having read Encyclopedia Dramatica to the point where I can't breathe from laughter/ am immune to all things; have come to understand the internet lingo of "macfag", "britfag" etc. (Thanks to you Kudistos :P). This is an example of a shift in perception from my point of view.

I use the word fag to describe cigarettes - that's a British thing. If an American were to use the word fag in speech it would mean something entirely different.

Just my opinion. I've stated my distaste and offence for use of the words "gay" and "faggot" in derogatory context many times before (at least 5) and I'm glad that for the first time in the 10 years I've been browsing this board, someone else has said something about it.

I use the words "gay" and "faggot" to describe homosexual people all the time, but never mean offense by it, oddly enough

I find it offensive.
 
If we're talking about etymology - the f word as a cigarette stems from its literal meaning, and makes sense in its use. Its application to homosexuals is ridiculously offense if you know the reasoning behind it.

I thought we agreed: Stop>Think>Type>Done.

Guess we still need much work on the second step...:P

Yeah some of you need to realise there are girls around here too, and people who don't want to hear things like that.  Have a little bit of respect :) eh ;)
