--> i was banned for saying 'people should be able to talk about rape wihtout getting banned.'

I can understand the tubgirl thing cuz that's not really important, but rape is a serious issue and banning the word doesn't improve the site.

edit: i don't want a hate-a-thon on the ghost admin,s but this banning business is just a plain nuisance and doesn't serve anyone's interest (unless there's some legal protection afforded to admin by banning these words, which would be much more terrible but at least understandable).

how dare you say i'm not important - you ass

now listen :::: link

irony is that this will probably be a front page blog in a minute or two....

indeed room. oh the irony.

i got banned for mentioning that word too. i think it's also ironic that you don't get banned for saying:

cunty wanky shit fuck ass pipe titty paedo bumfuck chutney love rocket turd nugget fart wart

I prefer the term "surprise sex"

lol ahaha. *put it in the glossary*

hehe...surprise sex...

The ban should be lifted because it's prompting repeated inappropriate discussions and jokes about the topic.

I second that.

Third.

I'm not sure I understand why this word is banned. I feel like the inappropriate conversations and jokes are generated more because of the lack of a clear presentation/explanation of the rules rather than any one specific example of censorship. I think people's surprise->irritation->making jokes->people who have real-world experience regarding this issue being hurt/offended.

Who runs this website? What is wrong with them?

Let it go everyone, whats the big deal? Just don't use that word, it's an electronic music forum anyway.

we could use the word "grape" instead, or even "scrape"(which is sometimes done after a grape.)
a "quickie" might also suffice, altho i admit that grape is not funny and should not be joked about.

seriously tho folks, no word should be banned from the site. its called "the first amendment" of the constitution,
sometimes know as "free speech" and it is rapidly disappearing in the land of the free. enjoy it while it lasts.

who cares? like i'm sure lots of you avoid other words, why not just add one more to the list? is it really necessary to use when describing your live setup? yes, i believe in freedom of speech, but it's really not worth having our front page dominated by it, given that it has NOTHING to do with electronic music.
