i dont really agree?? outside of tbt i casually curse all the time, but rarely in a hostile way. i was just raised to have a pottymouth

Yes but given the internet, tone is extremely hard to interpret. I pretty sure people read me as serious when I'm extremely bubbly and silly.

If that’s true then I wonder why swearing is deemed inappropriate, but discussing getting high is somehow fine...

Swearing is most typically used aggressively on this forum in conjunction with other rude behaviour, such as disrespecting or insulting someone. We don't interfere when the cursing a) isn't harming anyone and b) is properly censored by our swear filter.

If you are referring to our Discord channel, we had a problem with people swearing so excessively and creating such a hostile environment that we had to implement a bot to manage it for us. This is a case of the few ruining it for the majority.

 

[Antonio]

yeah tell me about a time when swearing harmed your body

There are more ways to harm rather than physical.

 

[myow]

I don't think it's inappropriate, I think cursing is more hostile in general so censoring It lowers the hostility?

Lol well I would agree with you IF didn't know from personal experience that you get infractions even when you almost swear (a letter or two off), even when it's not directed at anybody at all.

I would repeat what I said once to show an example, but that would just earn me another infraction I'm sure

I'm a fan of your approach to rule enforcement. Sounds like the mods have a solid grasp on the underlying purpose behind the rules.

Anyways, glorifying marijuana is coming from an extremely small minority of the forum and even then, there is no major harm from doing the drug so why is glorifying it a bad thing?

If your word is a letter or two off then that counts as censor bypassing. If you are going to curse, just type out the full word and let the filter catch it. That's what it is there for.

That sounds like something to communicate with staff in the contact staff board. The filter is there for a reason...

Do you really want me to explain this one to you?

Go ahead. How can marijuana cause severe harm to an individual.

I have done my research.

 

[xsopants]

yeah I feel like this got more heated than needed. Some of that is definitely my fault lol. At the end of the day we all want to enjoy animal crossing and enjoy TBT.

this seems like extremely heavy censorship for a forum that supposedly is mainly teens n up??? :/
i still think we dont need to talk about abusable substances but like. thats already pre-censored, why would you get an infraction,,,

once again this was NOT us talking about specifically marijuana at first, it was just us sharing our opinions on whether or not this is the place for extremely positive accounts of abusable substances to be discussed
i feel like this been taken rather personally when honestly i felt like it started out as a polite discussion that was focused on more than just weed, and as an ac stoner i dont personally understand why

Well to each their own. It sounds like you have a solid grasp on something else

Again, this isn't specifically about marijuana lol.

I swear, this thread is becoming a case study of everyone talking around each other

Yes but examples provided in this thread are referring to pot.

Also, if someone states "I love doing this recreational drug" like alcohol or smoking, how would it harm an individual. Why can't they state they like something?

Literally any forum on the internet where people have differing opinions haha. I totally agree

its just a slippery slope. Like ok, if its ok to talk about getting high on marijuana, does that mean it's also ok to talk about getting high shooting up heroin? Getting drunk? Smoking a pack of cigarettes a day? Snorting lines of cocaine? Etc & etc & etc?

Like... it's a question I think about what the core purpose of this site is and if these kinds of discussions align with that or not. I just think no.

nobody said it did anyone direct harm?? or if they did theyre being a bit silly imo
the points were "is this safe to expose minors to?" - and my personal opinion, as someone who did pot as a minor, is no - and "where is the line?" which has been discussed at this point and commented on by a mod

At the EOD, there is no serious harm from doing the drug and stating I like doing something that's legal and finding others who do the same isn't harmful and won't lead to self-harm.

it isnt completely legalized though, and the human body just point-blank isnt made to inhale smoke. its definitely not legal for minors to do, which is why they were saying if the forum is 13+ and legalized substances are generally 18-21+, should we be discussing this here???
