This is the second time you've asked for this. Do you have a "mods eating citrus" fetish?

People are worried about your nutrition and are trying to prevent scurvy. Maybe you should switch to gin & tonics as you can ease your way into a citrus habit by piggybacking it on another habit.

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.

How is this not patently obvious?

So barring a statistical miracle, it's mandatory swearing for all of July then.

Lucky I'm a loving foulmouth already, even though I voted no cussing (for a change).

If you can't fuckin' beat 'em, fuckin' join 'em (and beat your fucken meat instead).

Fer gently caress's sake, swearing is like punctuation. Having to force it in to every post is like being required to .insert; random ? punctuation oR SOmE OtHeR noNsenSe.

I think invoking "no swearing" would be more of a challenge - hell, it used to be one of our common drinking game rules.

As was said before, the required swearing will just end with a lot of posts being closed with...

gently caress.

Basically, I agree with:

It's up to us, the community, to police ourselves and report to the mods when someone doesn't say cuss words.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack
"mod & admin sass is legal" is obviously the best rule but i know they'd never actually approve it because ralps tender delicate feelers would get boo-boos and he would have to get his mommy to kiss it and make it better

It seems like "no swearing" would be easier to implement, because then you could just search on the obvious offending words and rely on reports for people trying to get around the rule using weird spellings and the like.

Searching for posts without swearing in them seems like it would be a lot harder to do, and would really only work by means of reports or by actually reading each and every thread.

I figured that was the case, and that GBS has got be a huge bastard to moderate most of the time in general. I do appreciate your work in that regard, by the way.
