I can't get why it's inappropriate to use the word [censored] in a sencense like this: "Someone is [censored] my internet cable and im getting lag, lol." Lets not be childish and ban normal English words. The slang meaning of the word means totaly different, but why let that ruin the using of the word?

Dictionary.com:
-a quick, sharp pull, thrust, twist, throw, or the like; a sudden movement: The train started with a [censored].

ps. sorry for any mistakes, English is not my mothertongue

"Lets not be childish"

How about showing some maturity at your end and respecting the channel's rules for a change? In the last few weeks, you have done just about everything on the list that's not allowed, including evading bans.

Maybe the clue here is to not use words that you do not fully understand, since you say that English is not your first language. The owner of the channel has those words set the way he wants them. If the word is not to your liking, open your own channel instead of cluttering up someone else's.

Haha, laugh .

Yea, this was a bad idea to ask anything from here. But thanks for the fast reply Fort.

Ehm, about that evading bans. I only asked my friends to come to the channel as nick1, nick2 etc. The actual person wasn't me. Yea sorry if that caused trouble. I was annoyed. xD

Haarukka I have a standard policy to ban anyone that bypasses or types censored on purpose it shows clear intent to violate the channel rules.

The censor in #chris is to protect against accidental bad language, and is not a excuse to my knowledge to use curse words. Its a precautionary measure so during videos a bad word dosnt show up int he video.

I myself have censored as a highlight to draw my attention if im busy in another channel. Thus hearing it go off and finding out it was some one doing it on purpose is very annoying.

I advise you to reread the rules, and to simply abide by them. We dont ask that much of folks, our rules are pretty much internet standard in any decent forum.

I saw this video of Chris and he used that word in the topic: . Knowing that I got confused and thought the word was usable. If he uses it in the video it cant be that bad I thouhgt. ^^ But anyways lets just drop it and delete this topic if you guys wish.
