I asked Kong about words like ass not too long ago. It's even in my forum profile information to the left of all of my posts.

The consensus was as long as we:

1) Stay away from Carlin's seven words.
2) Do not use them to describe another member.
3) Do not use them in an overly graphic or sexual manner.


It's also my opinion that light-hearted drug use is PG-13 as it is listed on the site Sabby linked to. Since we're aiming for "nothing over PG-13" I personally do not have a problem with it. I would also point out songs that at one time had regular radio play like "'Cause I Got High" and "Smoke Two Joints".

Our current forum rules are intentionally vague. Expecting members to use common sense and their best judgement. Which also allows the mods to rule within the context of the offense. But each poster and moderator will undoubtedly have a different view of what is acceptable and what is offensive. It's a difficult mist to navigate. Would you, the members, prefer more hard and fast rules?

One last thing. Normally I wouldn't air my opinions about these matters publicly. I'd try to consult privately with Kong and the other Mods in the Mod forums. And this I've attempted to do. But I would really appreciate the members opinions on this as well.
