What is the world coming to....

[lincpimp]

So I was just reading the rules over at the NK forum. I am a member there and wanted to make sure that I did not step outside the lines.

I found a somewhat distubing gramatical issue in the rules. Any word that contained letters that were arranged in order in the word to produce a vulgar or "questionable" term were replaced by the same number of *.

Example, the word assume would be ***ume, thus removing ass from the word.

I am by no means an liberal english major, but this is taking censorship a bit far.

And this kind of BS or ******** is starting to gain some sort of acceptance in our society. I can only imagine the hordes or sheep people that for some strange reason think that this is a good idea. If we do not want to expose children to this then I have a feeling that tv would be a better place to start. Can you imagine watching tv and having to hear the last 3 letters of bypass bleeped out. Utter stupidity.

Not trying to flame the NK forum, and I have seen this done elsewhere as well. Just find it another useless, poorly aimed method of trying to re-establish morals in our degenerating society...
