I am tired of seeing all these curse words being allowed on this site. It is not professional, and makes this site look very immature. It is even worse when you consider a lot of people on this site are below 18.  
 
 
So I am proposing a ban on curse words on Giant Bomb.

No thanks. 
It's a nice idea and all but just no. 
You've been here like 5 minutes and you're trying to change things, the site has done well for this long without this. 
I don't want to come across harsh, it's just silly. 
 
Inb4 everyone replies with swear words. I was so tempted.

That's not going to happen. Anything used excessively or specifically to cause offence is against our rules, but we're all mature enough to be able to take a fuck or a shit occasionally.

Perhaps they should stop discussing M rated games as well? Change the site's name to Giant Hug? Instead of Thursday Night Throwdown, we could have Thursday Night Catch Up On Homework Because It's A School Night, Young Man.

Well thats what I meant, sorry. I meant banning for using the words in a negative context. I have been browsing this site for a few months and sometimes see someone call someone else, "dumbass", "shut the fuck up" etc....just for having a different opinion.

Oh aye, and they need to move out of California and maybe settle in Utah. Cali is a den of iniquity and sin. Sin, I say!

@3reach: I mean, that's understandable and all, but if you spend enough time on the internet it's just kind of something you get used to.

No, and what the hell is wrong with you? Calling Microsoft and Sony idiots? Wanting game developers to lose their jobs? Banning words on Giant Bomb? If I didn't know better, I would call you a dickhead in this thread, just for the sake of irony.

Immature? ha. 
 
This site and its community is on average far more mature than some other gaming forums such as Gametrailers.

I'm not trying to be rude, but makes this site look very immature to who? I think a very, very, very small fraction of people come here and think "oh my, they allow this foul language? I want nothing to do with this." If you ask me, most people cuss themselves or don't do it and aren't bothered by it.

Someone think of the children!!!!!!111111

Seriously, your children would have to live in a bubble to not have learned swearwords by the time they visit this site. Kids said "fuck you" in my school in first grade. It's like trying to shield your children from ever being hurt or getting ill ever. You may have good intentions, but it's just not possible, unless you live in a bubble perhaps.

For a TNT of an E rated game or something like that, I'd be down with that.

Ok, this thread has quickly devolved into an excuse for people to repeatedly swear, so on that note, I'm locking it.
