Red flagging threads for having the word bullshit in titles

Looks that way.

Easy solution: Don't use the word "bullshit" in the title.

Earlier this week, amid increasing media pressure, the U.K. prime minister’s office confirmed that authorities arrested top David Cameron aide Patrick Rock on Feb. 13 on suspicions related to child pornography. Authorities have not yet formally charged Rock, citing the ongoing investigation as the reason behind the prolonged silence at 10 Downing St. Details surrounding the arrest timeline have fueled speculation that Rock, who resigned from his position on Feb. 12, may have been tipped off by colleagues before his arrest. But that isn’t the only troubling circumstance surrounding the already disturbing scandal. For those in the tech community, Rock is well-known as one of the main proponents of the U.K.’s controversial “war on porn.”
More specifically, Rock served as Cameron’s adviser for combating child pornography, helping to implement new requirements that British Internet service providers filter search results to sites that the government deemed explicit. The new requirements, which force users to “opt-in” in order to view pornography online, have come under heavy scrutiny from many Internet policy experts who suggest that such restrictions may have chilling effects on free expression. Some ISP filters have blocked access to domestic abuse resources online, while others have censored websites focusing on sexual and reproductive health.

Give us a break, in the name of decency.

WHERE did the "news outlets" acquire
the authority that u attribute to them ???????????

Can we use the word "CRAP" instead of bullshit?

In some movies, the word crapper is used in place of bathroom.

Thomas Crapper (baptised 28 September 1836; died 27 January 1910) was a plumber who founded Thomas Crapper & Co in London. Contrary to widespread misconceptions, Crapper did not invent the flush toilet. He did, however, do much to increase the popularity of the toilet, and developed some important related inventions, such as the ballcock. He was noted for the quality of his products and received several

As an open marketplace for ideas, Able2know seeks to support a diverse range of discussion. One of the inevitable results of said diversity is that some of the speech that occurs freely on Able2know is objectionable to some people, sometimes acutely so.

Our preferred way of dealing with such situations is to try to create solutions that allow for the free expression to continue for those who seek it, while providing a way for those who find said speech objectionable to avoid it.

Towards these aims we are introducing a new NSFW feature that allows for members to report posts that are Not Safe For Work through the normal topic and post reporting buttons. Moderators will mark topics and posts that are NSFW that follow our definition thereof. These topics and posts will not be removed, but will be marked with a “NSFW” flag (and posts are collapsed by default). Anyone who wants to see the content can still do so on a case-by-case basis or members can edit their user preferences if they don’t want to collapse NSFW posts at all.

This NSFW flag allows us to better serve the different portions of our community. For example, no longer will we be editing out graphic images, and replacing them with links. Moderators will simply mark posts NSFW and those who want to see them can, and those who do not don’t have to, problem solved.

If only all the world’s objectionable-content problems were resolved this easily.

Oh if you are still going to have an arbitrary censorship program it at least should be an opt in not an opt out program.

David David first you do not need to read any thread with or without a red flag marker and second the whole excuse given for marking a thread with NSFW [not safe for work] is that you somehow might get into trouble for reading such material in the work place due to the content of the thread in question and Robert merry men will therefore give you a warning over the material in question.

Now assuming that is true then it is not also safe to read a large percent of the major news outlets online or off line at work as many of them do indeed used the word bullshit in both the title of news stories and in the body of news stories and that can be shown by a simple google news search for that word.

Next until the red flag marking occur the only used of the word bullshit was in the title of the Amish thread for all to see at once and the body of the thread was complete free of any "bad" words of any kind and any other content for that matter that anyone could have a question about.

So why would anyone need a warning of a red flag over content they can see for themselves at once and at the same time as they would see the red flag marking unless Robert red flag markers are claiming a better understanding of what is or is not acceptable to read at your work place then you happen to have?

To sum up the whole idea seems to me to be as silly as having a panel in the 1950s that would not allow the word pregnant to be used in TV shows but instead forcing the use of the phrase in the family way instead.

Its rude to turn the attention of your fellow citizens to excrement.
The idea is to make the forum WORSE????
