PROFANITY
KEEP IT CLEAN
We try to keep CougarBoard clean, and therefore profanity
of any kind (and in any language) is not allowed on
CougarBoard.
THE LORD'S NAME
You may not take the Lord's name in vain on this board.
HOW ABOUT ACRONYMS?
You may not use acronyms which, if expanded, contain
profanity. If the average person would expand your acronym
using profanity, then it's considered profanity.
WHAT SUBSTITUTIONS ARE ALLOWED?
Using an asterisk in the middle of the word does not make it
any less offensive. Neither does replacing the letter A with
@, or the letter S with $. The general rule of thumb we use
is this: if you say the profanity in your mind when you read
the post, then it is as if you used the profanity. So, in some
cases, #@%! could be considered profane.
WHAT ABOUT OTHER LANGUAGES?
If your post isn't in English, it will be assumed to be profanity.
