Inquiry About Censors? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

ColdSweat · 08-31-2008, 10:41 AM

When one posts a poem/piece of prose on here, are there censor rules (ie, no cursing, expletives, graphic natures, etc)? I write a lot, and all of it seems to come out with vulgarity, just wondering if I can post it?

There are certain words which are automatically censored when you post them.

Please read our Forum rules before you post to ensure you don't violate them.

Mm, yes. I've read the rules... but is it not kosher to post "certain words", even if they are bleeped out? I mean, is that frowned upon? I wanna remain a friendly person here, and not offend anyone, etc. But I think people might find some recognition or comfort in my poems/short stories (are short stories kosher?), on the contrary? That's all I wanna do, help people. Because I've been there before, and I tend to write about it fairly well (at least, that's what I'm told?).

Have you considered blogging here instead? And if you're not sure if something is going to offend or be offensive, why not err on the side of caution?
When in doubt, don't, is my mantra
