    Profanity

    on neopets, "suck" is profanity

    I said: "I suck at this"

    boom... profanity

    Hope i dont get silenced/ warned

    How is "suck" profanity? Or is TNT too big a baby to grow up?

    I know we all like to grab our pitch forks and run around taking shits on TNT, but in all honesty, the prohibition of profanity and common demeaning lexicon makes for a more productive environment for the common user.

    I know that, but they should have a context bot. So they dont warn people who dont use it in the wrong context.

    That's the thing though: when you say, "I suck at ___," you are alluding to the negative connotation of the word; whether you intended to signify that you're sucking cock or not. And when words with second halves like suck are allowed, those who converse with it's dual meaning will proliferate and it will lower the fidelity of posts.

    Fine. From now on, ill use "stink". But stink might be inappropriate too, what if stink could signify something worse? You know what, Id rather just not use neomail anymore.
