We try to keep CougarBoard clean, and therefore profanity of any kind (and in any language) is not allowed on CougarBoard.

You may not take the Lord's name in vain on this board.

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.

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.
