myLot's Rules on being Politically Correct.

I find some rules on various sites rather funny. I wanted to get rid of a load of brass ornaments and I tried to list them all. One of them was a brass peacock and I the site wouldn't accept the word. I then changed it to a brass peahen and added an explaination as to why I called it a peahen. Now I am going to copy this response just in case my 'peacock' is unacceptable.

oh my did they take it out for I responded to it lol as for that word I tried to us it the real way and it didnt post! so I had to change the word before it would post

yes sometimes mylot do go overboard on what words we select to use. i find it odd that they wont let you post certains words.when i see alot of nasty words.that should have been blocked out.but i see nothing with a$$.but its kinda hard to fool the system.but members do it all the time.

Yes I had the same problem with the same word. Problem with banning some words is that they mean different things to people from different countries or different cultures. You only have to watch American films these days where they are full of words with only four letters, begining with f and ending in k, and it seems to be usead as a term of endearment over there, but is still not a word that I like to see or hear. Perhaps someone should start a contest trying to find how many different words that we can get banned that are actually all right in the context that they are used. Example (taken from other responses here), My A**(almost a donkey), and my pea****(hen) ate some turkeys' b****t (white meat).

Yes, they do tend to get carried away. I found out how much when I was trying to use the Q word for "odd" (qu**r). I'm actually surprised that we can still type in damn.

There have to be rules and boundaries in life and even mylot (LOL) but I do think this is a bit extreme! How many people would be offended by this?
