In this thread, the OP referred to Debaser as a “cuntwicket.” Debaser claimed that this was a rules violation, and reported it. In response, a moderator said:
I’m curious about this ruling.
The rules put in place by Ed Zotti back in 2009 regarding restricted language in the Pit announced that:
Now, i was on record at the time calling these new rules silly an unnecessary. Still, they were put in place and have been part of the rules around here ever since.
And under these rules, i’m at something of a loss to understand how “cuntwicket” is acceptable. Surely it’s one of the “variants” of cunt?
If it isn’t, does that mean that we’re allowed to select, at random, any English word and place it after the word “cunt” in order to construct an acceptable epithet?
If so, i hereby announce my intention to start flaming all of the cuntcabinets, cuntbases, cuntladders, cuntmops, cuntscarfs, and cunteukaryotes of the SDMB.
I should add, by the way, that the OP of the referenced thread also told Debaser to “Fuck yourself with a rake.” Surely that is in violation of the fourth line of disallowed words? If you can’t say “go fuck yourself,” surely you shouldn’t be allowed to say “fuck yourself with a rake.”
