Report such posts if you see they are crossing the line. If it is on small scale, learn to ignore it.

@dercfor, If you must know, freedom of speech is very important, and on the internet, no one is restricted from saying whatever they think or whatever their opinion is. In this forum, anyone is allowed to say whatever they like as long as it does not threaten the life of another user.

You already know what one of the forum moderator said about turning a blind eye to some statement that you think hurts you. Always develop a thick skin. Even if you report such comments, as long as they're not off-topic, they will not get deleted.

They're just words and only you can let them effect or hurt you. Just ignore anything you deem offensive.

I don't think most of those words ate just words like you said, because everyone has their own right despite the rank the one may be, is not right for some users to abuse others on the forum because it hurts more than punishment, some users brings their real characters into this forum to intimate others, it is beter to give advice than to use offensive words on another, everyone is here to fetch knowledge and not the other way round.

I'm offended by people who are offended by words. Grow a thicker skin and enjoy freedom of speech, even for the people you disagree with.

I am offended by you being offended. Grin

Not really.

Basically physical harm threats
Death threats.
I know where you live and will be looking for you statements. Are not allowed.

When I start a thread I always do moderated style and I personally will delete

“ fuck you blow me bitch style comments.”

I prefer less crude talk on my threads.

Also if I delete a post I quote it and say I don’t want f u blow me bitch type comments.

But I am old school. And like a bit of politness.

On the contrary it's now difficult to know users that are building accounts in order to earn. Besides those who are more interested in learning than earning will in the end still wear paid signatures. Before now, how to easily identify those who are only interested in earning is through the bounty. But now their attention is shifted to signature campaign, hunting for 100 merits.

I don't think anyone needs to study an account history before replying to a question or sending a merit. If the post worth merit then send merit without looking for who is behind the account, if the discussion is interesting then response it. Policing every account and trying to find fault in every forum account is just bad. It's pointless, makes the whole thing wrong about the concept of a forum. Obviously if something comes up undeniable truth then change your mind.

Keep it simple. Share knowledge and seek.

Its really funny you pointed this out so plainly because this is exactly the habit of some specific members here in the forum of which I won't mention but so forum members are found doing this exact act, I mean whats all the fuzz about, is it really necessary to check someone post history before given a merit, if the post is worth meriting its best you just merit it and move on.

What are you reporting and to whom? Words that you can't take or what?
Is best you ignore (like you said) any word that you can't take in, if you continue to report how long will it last? Not like you're in any kind of kindergarten school or something that you'd always report without standing out for yourself. And you'd be seen as a weakling that can't take cheap words, some users will be coming after you just to make a fool out of you so I'd advise you ignore and no word that's being said harshly that's small, remember that.

But in my mind, I don't think any of us (or I) will even suggest our kids, someone who is known, a close relative or friends who is not adult yet to join the forum.

You will be surprised the kids will find the forum by themselves. This is possible that they may use some bitcoin keywords in their search and they will be redirected here. They will sign up with unknown username and keep interacting with you here Grin

If I discover the account and see s/he is really into learning bitcoin and the technology then I will feel proud for them but if I see they are building the account just to earn from the signature campaign then I will be disappointed.

...but from what I've heard about them they're very much into other social media sites and would probably find bitcointalk to be the equivalent of trying to read a newspaper.

Well described. They are very much into graphics and animations. Here will definitely be boring to them.

LoyceV is right that school is much worse than bitcointalk. You can't get your ass beat here.

Definitely some gets expelled and waste school fees. But here, trolling gets you going while plagerism will do the expulsion.

After reading some comments on this thread I came to a conclusion that there are no Offensive words on this Forum. In as much as some users have ways of using words to make some people feel bad without them seeing it as something that they need to reduce is still not that offensive. Some people address issues on this Forum in a way that some other people see it as offensive, sometimes I see here as a war front, if you're not strong and ready to face challenges then the bullet will hit you.
Let check the case of @TMAN, that's one hell of a guy.
When he uses words there's no going back, if you can't endure, it might break you and leave you for dead.

Yeah....they might indeed find the forum, but I seriously doubt many will create an account and post much. Children are like aliens to me, but from what I've heard about them they're very much into other social media sites and would probably find bitcointalk to be the equivalent of trying to read a newspaper. And I mean a real, physical, makes-your-fingers-black, newspaper. It's something that won't appeal to youngsters.

I don't think children will find this platform as an interesting place because the discussions are some how different. In other social media platforms, one word sentences are allowed but here it is not allowed. And those are the words children likely to use in their communications. Examples like: "How are you, exactly, hello, I am coming, etc. Really they like social media like Facebook, Whatsapp, TikTok and Snapchat etc. The communicational ways in those channels are different from this forum.

And even if minors did find the forum and stick around, it's not as though every thread is infested with profanity or obscene material. What they'd really have to worry about is getting scammed, not picking up some bad habits or bad language.

if any kid comes here, the languages in the forum might even affect the child. I don't think this forum is meant for people below 18yrs but above 18+yrs. As for me children are not matured enough to use the forum.

What you should understand is that people post according to their understanding in the forum, so whenever someone post you should try reply them on the language they would be able understand or to the standard of their post. To whatever they post seems to be right in their eyes but we should know that we have series of people here with their ways of knowledge and their acts of reasoning, when reading post your should be open and think widely because what you may comprehend and drives from the post may not be as others at end it results as someone posting irrelevant things or a nonsense post.

People have the right to express themselves based on their views and perception. We should have the heart to accept other people's views even when it is not inline with our own thoughts. I have also observed that words has different meaning in diverse societies. A word that you might see as an insult in your area might mean something else somewhere. So we should learn to tolerate each other. But there are some words that might be offensive. Truth be told there are some posts that are actually nonsense. It was not useless because of grammatical errors but it was written totally out of context. But we should correct in love, so that people will not be offended. I read the post OP referred to and it was not a useless post.

This is especially needed if you active in different communities online. There are different types of people everywhere including internet and they can behave weird at times. If we let it affect us, it can be disturbing.

I don't find 'nonsense' offensive, may be cause it wasn't directed at me. Nonetheless, despite having free speech, this forum doesn't have much offense in it, except this, ofc.

Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion yes, OP I get where you're coming from. You know if nobody criticize you in anything you do in life you won't know if you're ready to take it hard in life. People will always say things to bring your morale down and if you're not as hard as a nail then it will get to you and probably bring you down completely by even killing your confidence.
You can't stop people on this Forum from saying despiteful things concerning your post or whatever you do here, is just everywhere not only here on Bitcointalk. I feel for those newbies who let such words to eat them up and even discourage them from staying strong. To me I'd say let every newbies man up shit happens.

This forum is a place where you can discuss with freedom by maintaining forum rules. So in discussion any argument or dissidence can be happened and most of the times some beginners don't take it easily and they feels like offensive.
It's normal in this forum even when I was a beginner I also made mistakes and others resolved. So don't take it too much hurtful and I think no one's intention is to hurt anyone. Always try to understand speech from others and what they are actually meaning. Then if you still feel offensive then kindly ignore and move on so that you can grow yourself. Always Be Positive And Stay Far From Negativity.

Op all you have to do is to have a thick skin (strong mind, brave mind and courageous mind) so you can do well in the forum if not my brother you see all comments and post as offence. You have to ignore any post that is not of favour of you or you have to reply it with good approach then move away from it. Not all the insults you put your mouth if not you will hurt your heart with them. If you are angry with them you hurt yourself the more. Forum is a place where freedom of speech is exercised. So if you don't like what the person said and you want to clear your mind you can reply to the person instantly. And by that your conscience will be clear.

If you think that the words they used for you is wrong and you don't like it, I think it's better for you to ignore them rather than coming back to lay down your anger in a polite way. The forum is full of people from different regions and sometimes we don't know what some persons is passing through that made them to be aggressive when writing.

Since the forum is not our living room or where we can get shelter, it is better for us to be neutral so that our words will not hurt other people that might find it offensive. Although it is very annoying for someone to write a post and at the end, they are being abused for there opinion. You have to stay away from bad energy when you see them coming, any post that is offensive to you just ignore it.

Many replies have mentioned how restricting people choice of word according to your standard is restricting free speech so thats one. Second, Offense is always taken not given, any word will be offensive if you took it as offensive, and no word is offensive if you don't take it as offensive, even slur, but I believe everyone on the right mind in this forum will not just throw slur randomly. And if you talk about politeness, whose standard should the forum follow for politeness, calling someone a dickhead if he/she do some stupid thing is as polite as I can be, but other people might find it not polite, so in this very diverse environment applying your politeness standard to other people is also non-sense.
