Would it be okay with you if myLot edited -- censored -- all discussions, so that every time someone wrote"p*nis" (the uncensored correct version), it was replaced with"wee-wee"? If that would be okay, why? Should they also replace "vulva" with "vu-vu" (or some similar baby word that disrespects your intelligence)?

LOL...That's a good question! Where does 'To whom it may concern' draw the line? I know there have to be guidelines with language, for minors sake, but ppl will prob 4ever argue a topic like this. My mother considers 'fart' a 4 letter word worthy of censorship! Do i agree? What makes a word 'bad' when it refers to something, like a noun, that has another 'acceptable' definition? Words are words..I guess for me -in consideration for the young ones- it is more out of context that makes something offensive. I don't agree with f*ck being used freely -but did i just contradict myself? Good ques..

Well, one must be 16 or older to be on myLot. Besides, even small children know what "p*nis" means.

Haha Nice one
This is really a Question for thinking
Well yes precisely they should
But, they automatically censor such words
You do have the option of ticking THIS POST CONtAINS MATURE CONTENT

Simply mentioning "p*nis" does not make something mature content. Besides, I've tried to post the word with that checkbox on and it didn't work. Apparently the mere metion of it is beyond "mature content" or something. Quite offensive, this censorship.

By fix you mean censor my own words? No, I don't like that.
