After the debacle on a recent thread, when one of my posts got censored, or rather a word did, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions that we could collectively put forward to site management to try and resolve this very annoying problem satisfactorily?
To me it seems ridiculous that so many words are taken out of context and censored, we have problems taking about ornithology, animals, poetry and I dread to think what would occur if we were talking about food and a certain F word was used when talking about a dish made of meat and wrapped in caul fat and baked. Surely an algorythum can be made to sort out some context rather than a blanket ban?
Also this is a British site and yet it seems that many of the words deemed offensive are mainly used in America, is this fair? I know nobody want to cause needless offence, but I actually feel discriminated against, my native language is being taken over and certain words and phrases taken out of context and banned often by what seems to be a foreign influenced power. here are certain words that may have been common, but were never anything but offensive and discriminatory, but surely not in the catagories that I've mentioned above?
I think context is all in this as in many things, but this in particular, how long before we're censored from talking about other things like our bodies and certain parts of them, I know we're rightly not allowed to give medical advice, but we might still want to talk from personal experience and give advice to a parent on how to broach subjects like puberty with an ASC child. To me this sort of thing is really important and I'd hate to think of people struggling and not only not being able to talk about it, but maybe not being allowed a language with which to discuss it.
