De-autocensor ***

[germanos]

***-for-tat is also rather silly. Is it really so offensive?

And what's wrong with **** anyway?
I would say that two ****s is worse

Discussion is over

[DrSpike]

Ming didn't say don't discuss, he said don't whinge if the owners don't agree. There is nothing wrong with the proposal, since we haven't had this one for ages. Just accept any answer when it comes.

[DrGerry]

So you say, discuss as an intellectual exercise.

[DrSpike]

The owners have been known to change things on the basis of discussions.

I'm sure I won't whinge .

[DrGerry]

OK, discussion is good for me

[Kuciwalker]

For that matter, decensor t i t. The only time I see it used is "*** for tat", and that just makes it look weird.

You keep using that one, but ultimately this site, AFAIK (unless you get bribed by game companies... ) lives of advertising revenues and PLUS subscriptions.

The owners are certainly entitled to manage it the way they want, but when the users make reasonable claims in a polite way, it should be natural to hear them, and it should be courtesy to give them an explanation about the decision taken.
