I do wonder why the announced name change is not seen to breach game rules on appropriate language, given the general rule to keep things 'family friendly'.

Post-modernist irony, one assumes. One only hopes it doesn't set dboys knee jerking.

If he kicks off about 'Adam and Steve' again will that be spamming or just butthurt?


If I can't say anus (a medical term), then butt would also be against the rules.


I agree.

There-in lies the problem. Inconsistent drawing of lines : like a drunk doing lane markings, its bound to lead to confusion.

And rather than address that we argue about the true nature of spam.

Part of the problem with words like 'butt' or 'twat' is that they dont carry the same connotation in all cultures. In the UK the word 'butt' is not commonly used in the US sense. It has various meanings, a barrel, a place to practice archery, a cigarette end, to push or shove, to strike out, to knock.

Likewise 'twat', only recently has the US connotation become common usage. Previously it just meant a fool.

So, yes, where is a commonly accepted line to be drawn?

There is also the term for what Brits call cigarettes. Let's leave that one out of the forums.

But context does matter and to draw a line when context and connotation can change the interpretation is a hard if not impossible task.

The line is where the community comes into play by reporting posts with an explanation as to why.
