Hey guys...
Is the B-A-S-T--- word, swearing? Because I was in Quizaboom, and I called Sobchak that since he got the answer before me due to Chat Lag, and some girl reported me. And then I got a warning from Mod Anderson. O_O
What the heck?! |

If the word is in asteriks it is swearing, if you replace a word with symbols it is swearing.
Seemed like a fair report to me, I think if you call someone something rude and someone gets offended so they report you it counts as swearing. |

Yes, child born to parents who aren't married counts as swearing.

Haha.
Yeah, on the website, it's swearing ...
In England, it's fairly casual swearing, but the rest of the world doesn't see it that way.
In Ireland, the word in question is as popular as the word "bloody" in England.
In America, the word in question is unheard of, and they just say the F word over and over again.
It all depends on where you're from which defines what is a bad word, and what is ok.

Heck is fine. The other word for heck is fine too, even though the forum filters it.

Unless it is a censored word which is intentionally misspelled to avoid the filter. Obviously, report these.

If they're calling somebody that, in a malicious way, and the person's offended, then yes it's reportable, but if they're just exclaiming, it's not really harmful. But I wouldn't advise using it, in case somebody takes offence and reports.
