( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough...

I was not talking about censorship on any level. "I realize that many people use swear words when they speak. I also realize that many people write the same way that they speak. So I expect to come across some profanity when reading posts here. I don't like it but I accept it." I reiterate... I don't like the profanity but I accept it. This is the internet. If you cannot tolerate some profanity then you should cancel your internet access.

Shouldn't there be some guidelines dealing with profanities and front paged nodes? The front page is what visitors see first. If we want to remain professional, then we should take steps to stay professional.

It may be something as simple as the editors or whomever, going through and adding a readmore tag before the profanity. Maybe we should stop front paging nodes that have profanities? I don't know what the answer is but I do think that this is something that the gods should rule on.

I have started a thread that has made people think and post their thoughts. That is a good thing. No matter the outcome of this issue, I know that I have done my part to try and make Perl Monks a better place and I am glad to be a part of this community.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
