Serious question, would racism (IE the N word) count towards the swearing requirement for posting?

"rock" the "vote" goons. It is currently pretty close.

edit: i guess 15% still qualifies as pretty close.

What a dark, dark future lies ahead of us.

It's a shame nobody emptyquoted that huge post.

edit: if someone important reads this please clarify if quoting a "cuss" will count. This will be important for my july gbs gimmick. tia

If mandatory swearing wins then the mods need to provide an exhaustive list of words that qualify

I gotta say, I don't think any of you jerks can go a month without swearing, so that would be the funnier rule. Mandatory swearing just will make unfunny dweebs compete for lamest new swear.
