sometimes people sprinkle 'fucking' or 'shit' or other words as if its salt. then fuckers shit fucking dia-motherfucking-tribes ass if fuckers fucking make fucking money and bitches from fucking using fucking fuck words, and suddenly discourse breaks down.
It's not that the words are bad, but some people take it too far. Especially on the internet, where some people erroneously believe in the anonymity of pseudonyms
- nawitus 14y agoI agree with your sentiment, as curse words should be used sparingly. However, a better solution is "bottom-up" moderation, not a top-down site-wide ban on something. This is essentially important in social media websites where subcommunities exist. Different subcommunities should be able to have different rules about these things. (This doesn't apply to YCombinator, though).
- BrianEatWorld 14y agoFor HN, I just assumed it was because it sets the tone for the discussion. By moderating profanity, it helps keep it out of the discussions and so you get more civil debate on HN than on other sites.
