    Actually, the slang for semen is spelled cumn - not ***.

          Almost undoubtably not possible.

            Then that's the end of that scheme.

              I don't quite get it, I'm afraid. What would be the point of de-autocensoring (I love this - non - word) it ?

              What possible practical use does the word have, other than the sexual one?

              But if enough people care, by all means....de-autocensor it.

                Well, it is also a Latin word - which was in use way before the english slang word.

                  Because Latin is the second language of Apolyton...

                      I've only ever seen it used on Apolyton as Magna *** Laude. Anyone wishing to refer to ****, or the ejaculatory action which produces it, has surely got enough synonyms which they could use to bypass the autocensor anyway. Even "come" is an acceptable spelling for *** with the same sticky meaning, but that isn't censored.

                      (/edit. Turns out that particular synonym is censored. How ironic.)

                      Maybe if Apolyton was a (family-friendly, no cursing allowed) porn site where people were too busy being lewd to actually consider their posts, then it would be a good idea to censor it, but since it isn't, and discussion is generally somewhat higher than "bodily-fluid" on the use-of-language scale, I really don't see the point of continuing to have it censored.
                      Concrete, Abstract, or Squoingy?

                        Maybe the whole issue should be put up to a vote? Think of the fun--smear campaigns, attack ads, the lot. Then of course all the attempts to woo the undecideds (i.e the 50000 members with 0 posts).

                            How could anyone consider this hangout of misfits and megalomaniacs a "family site"?

                            That's always confused me.

                            I mean, do we get little Janey and Johnny going, "Mum!!! Dad!! Can we log on to Apolyton now!!!"
