I've just removed a post that had c*&t in the title. I'm not going to get into specific rules, but I don't want that language in post titles. In comments etc in context, fine. But post titles are displayed to all users without the possibility of being filtered.

Please think of others when posting.

That's what I meant.

Which swear word sets the benchmark of not in title?

F-word = no Shit = ? Arse? Dick is yes as you have it in the sidebar for the rules?

F/C no, the rest I'm ok with. I don't want to define everything explicitly.

It's a slippery slope. Most of the communities don't have rules with the sidebar issue we talked about. If you don't define it, then it's as if it doesn't exist. New future members won't see this post.

I've added this rule to the one sidebar I can edit:

Make post titles descriptive with no swear words. Comments are a free for all using the above rules as a guide.

Sure... but I don't know anyone that would around saying c&^t in front of their grandmother.

Not everyone has a Grandmother. I never met mine, I'm not sure if she would drop the c-bomb. It's a fairly common word these days.

And if you're in a lower socioeconomic area, I would think that word would be perfectly acceptable in front of a 30 year old grandmother.

I saw 2 4 year olds at daycare dropping f'ing c's.
