D*ck seems to be censored, while penis isn't. **** is a name, an other way of saying Richard. Also there's the legendary song, Moby ****.
I hope this gets uncensored because it's annoying the hell out of me

Led Zeppelin- Moby Penis
just to test something:
****, boner, wang
edit:
it appears many other **** words are not censored, what gives?

Because they aren't ... how do you say, curse words. Penis is a freakin' medical term, why should that be censored? Boner, wang? C'mon, could you be more uptight? :P
Next thing you know, 'pee' and 'wee wee' will be bad words in here ...

Yes I agree, there are limits to the control the boards should have on their users. Even if many have long proven they are not responsible enough to interact with others without restrictions, the majority of us can. We'll see what happens with d*ck, but for now, when the one time you'll want to say **** instead of Richard happens, say Richard

We shouldn't have to say Moby Richard. Also guys my whole point in bringing up boner and wang is that **** should be uncensored since those aren't, not the other way around

Re: Censorship
I see a big difference in the contexts you would use these words.
"stop touching your wang"
"woa, i got a boner"
"klorjne you're such a ****/head, now that you expressed your point, stop being a ****, I already said we're gonna look at it"

Re: Censorship
**** is a cursword. no reason to uncensor.
COME ON! Be a bit realistic. you cannot be serious here.
So, since vagina isn't censored, c*nt shouldn't be aswell?

Re: Censorship
C0ck is a common last name here (really, kok means chef in Dutch, and c0ck is old spelling of it). No one is asking for c0ck to be uncensored just becvause it happens to be a name.

Re: Censorship
You guys really have a lot of time to lose to debate on such a subject.
Locked for now because we're gonna see the same arguments coming again and again. Just know that we're aware of the topic.

Idea regarding censorship
I have an idea, but the censorship thread got locked, so I'm gonna post it here.
I think you should let everyone choose (individually) if they want words on the site to be censored or not. I'm not sensitive at all, I mean, it's the internet - so I'd uncheck that box right away! :)
Ooh, as I was writing this, I got another idea. You could let everyone choose exactly which words should be censored for them, you know, individually (spelling it out so you won't think I'm suggesting a big vote-off for which words should be censored ...).
Like when you add friends and foes, you could have a list of words you're not comfortable with. That way, everyone's happy :)
Hope it's worth something,
Mucky

Re: Idea regarding censorship
The word censorship system is effective at post submitting, not at posts display. This means that when displaying a post, it would be displayed according to censorship preferences of the poster which is not acceptable. The idea of censoring is not only to make sure that the boards are viewable to younger and more fragile people, it's also to control the content of the boards according to what is judged suitable for the boards database by the boards admins. Censorship here is also used to prevent spam/scam posts and links (i.e. prize r e bel -> prize SCAM)
Creating such a "mod" for the forums would compromise that and seems like much work for something that is not that important.
