Didn’t the title of this [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=129548) have the word “Fuck” in the title? Are we still sanitizing for the protection of others? Even in the pit? I could be wrong, but assuming that I am not, it would be swell if thread titles are changed that a notice be posted in that thread. I am starting to think that I am going crazy. Also, what’s the deal with [the secretly locked with no explanation](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=129191) thread? ---

As far as I can tell, it was locked because it was a parody with no link in the OP ---

Hilariously enough, when I clicked on this thread, the one above it actually had FUCK in the title. Oops! ---

I don’t want to disagree here, but i disagree! Totally against my will i will add. Because, see, I first wanted to agree but then i agreed to disagree which made me disagree with my agreement of agreeing. There WAS a link posted to the OP, Fenris didn’t put it in his original message (shame on him! He’s always the first one to shout: HERESY! when this happens) BUT **gobear** added the link a few posts later where everyone could see it. All hail Fenris! * * * Fenris fan #417 ---

The first thread did not have its title edited. The second thread was locked because of some issues that took place off-board. Lynn
