Offensive words on the forum

[LoyceV]

So TMAN has left the forum for something, some kind of repentance or epiphany from God?

Unlikely:

Okay I made up the stuff about Tman having a religious awakening/ becoming a goat herder etc. I know, hard to believe being so plausible as it was. I have reached out to this fucker indirectly just to make sure he’s okay and that much I can confirm. I was told he’d be back around before long to call me a proper cunt and other pleasantries (as I do miss that).

The forum is for 18+.

Since when? I haven't seen this anywhere, and it wouldn't make sense for an anonymous forum.

The last part I agree LOL. There are no way to verify the age.

But in my mind, I don't think any of us (or I) will even suggest our kids, someone who is known, a close relative or friends who is not adult yet to join the forum.

We have gambling sub-board, there are no rules need to mention that one doesn't need to be 18+
We have reputation sub-board, people do not mind to use in-appropriate slang towards each others
Then we have some selective people including me who use in-appropriate words everywhere.

I don't think I will encourage my girl to read what I write, not at least she become 18 or at least adult enough to handle the world of adults.

I don't suggest it for another reason: privacy.

Agreed. But kids could just skip those boards, just like they can skip many other gambling websites.

I haven't seen anything worse on Bitcointalk than what I've heard at schools

I don't think I will encourage my girl to read what I write, not at least she become 18 or at least adult enough to handle the world of adults.

I won't encourage it, but if my kids find their way to a Bitcoin forum online, I'd be proud
I'm pretty sure there are much more dangerous websites than Bitcointalk. I already teach my kids not to use their real name (in games), and they use email addresses without any personal information for registration. When they're a bit older, I'll add the dangers of the internet to the list. I can't wait until they're 18 and then suddenly release them into the wild, they need to learn it, and the best time to do so is while they're young.

How is this still Meta related? I'm not sure "Offensive words" are difficult for kids, it's so easy for them to take it personal. But still, school is much worse than Bitcointalk.

In public schools and the free world of the internet, we have no boundary for anything. I have seen kids not even 12 years (both) old, if my guess is not so wrong, are kissing openly like we adult do with our spouse when making love, as they don't care what's around them. A young kid of a close relative started to live with his boyfriend, left his parents, cut off all connections with everyone in the family tree does not surprise me too. Other day in gambling discussion I heard about this sex competition. All of it do not feel right but there are no way to deny too. I don't know how much I will be able to protect my children from all these uncomfortable events we witnessed but I am trying to provide the best I can for her to grow up safely.

None of it now meta related between you and me LOL. It's sounds like two father (If you have no dispute that you are the mother 🤣) is having discussion or what they do and don't want to see in their children to do with Bitcointalk until they become adult. We both need to shut up now LOL

Every person is right in his own opinion so do not use offensive words on others who make a post but rather convince them to understanding why their opinion is wrong
Some members of this forum do this alot
Like saying a person's post is nonsense or is of no use like this post made by a newbie
with SOKO- DEKE  saying it is nonsense  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5454681.0
Please let us be more polite when making post or replying posts

I don't see any offensive words here op, SOKO-DEKE just gave words of advice so that the person will not involve in regret when his plan fail. Don't create a topic if you know you can defend yourself when question arising or when people start correcting your mistakes by commenting on your topic.

[Nheer]

Since everyone has different names and ways of thinking, I don't see why someone's opinion should be a problem. Likewise, when someone uses inappropriate language, we shouldn't take it personally and should overlook any statement we find objectionable. Since we don't know one another and this is just a discussion board, it will be simpler to overlook an offending post.

Offensive words on the forum

Some people are too shy and weak in the real life. Some are depressed and isolated, the only place that give them voice is fora like this. Some are so thin and doesn't visit the gym, just a push with my finger will let them stumbled x20 and fracture. How do you want those people to air their views and hit on random people if not to hide behind the screen.

They're just words and only you can let them effect or hurt you. Just ignore anything you deem offensive.

Some people are too emotional that they let a national broadcast by Putin put them in perpetual fear in their own country not Russia.

Some people can't even speak in the real life because of shyness, the only place they pour out their mind to say things is on the social media and it really hurt when they are being attacked with offensive words.  Some people can bear been attacked but it is not easy with some people endure it.

I'm beginning to take every word in the forum as a normal word and I'm getting use to it because I have come to understand that everybody can't be the same when it comes to manner of response. The forum is a community which it can't be possible to expect pleasant comments from everybody.

And the earlier you start accepting the replies and responses of community members to your post or reply the better for because in order for you to grow here people must surely critized or should I correct you and only people who don't want to grow can always feel correction is some kind of abuse or insult.

I actually used the link Op provided to see how offensive the said post of Soko was but te link was not directly targeting the post. I had to scroll down and there was nothing offensive said by Soko.

But in my mind, I don't think any of us (or I) will even suggest our kids, someone who is known, a close relative or friends who is not adult yet to join the forum.

You will be surprised the kids will find the forum by themselves. This is possible that they may use some bitcoin keywords in their search and they will be redirected here. They will sign up with unknown username and keep interacting with you here

In different dimensions it may happen. Some could also be people who don't find love and kindness in the real world. They came online for refugee and unfortunately they are bashed here too.

It's possible but thing is I am not introducing it to them as long as they are under age.

If I discover the account and see s/he is really into learning bitcoin and the technology then I will feel proud for them but if I see they are building the account just to earn from the signature campaign then I will be disappointed. I will like them (suggest and help) to learn a skill and educate them first before even thinking to earn some pocket money. When he will master a skill then he will never have an issue with money.

What you should understand is that people post according to their understanding in the forum, so whenever someone post you should try reply them on the language they would be able understand or to the standard of their post. To whatever they post seems to be right in their eyes but we should know that we have series of people here with their ways of knowledge and their acts of reasoning, when reading post your should be open and think widely because what you may comprehend and drives from the post may not be as others at end it results as someone posting irrelevant things or a nonsense post.

[icalical]

Many replies have mentioned how restricting people choice of word according to your standard is restricting free speech so thats one. Second, Offense is always taken not given, any word will be offensive if you took it as offensive, and no word is offensive if you don't take it as offensive, even slur, but I believe everyone on the right mind in this forum will not just throw slur randomly. And if you talk about politeness, whose standard should the forum follow for politeness, calling someone a dickhead if he/she do some stupid thing is as polite as I can be, but other people might find it not polite, so in this very diverse environment applying your politeness standard to other people is also non-sense.

If you think that the words they used for you is wrong and you don't like it, I think it's better for you to ignore them rather than coming back to lay down your anger in a polite way. The forum is full of people from different regions and sometimes we don't know what some persons is passing through that made them to be aggressive when writing.

Since the forum is not our living room or where we can get shelter, it is better for us to be neutral so that our words will not hurt other people that might find it offensive. Although it is very annoying for someone to write a post and at the end, they are being abused for there opinion. You have to stay away from bad energy when you see them coming, any post that is offensive to you just ignore it.

[Agbe]

Op all you have to do is to have a thick skin (strong mind, brave mind and courageous mind) so you can do well in the forum if not my brother you see all comments and post as offence. You have to ignore any post that is not of favour of you or you have to reply it with good approach then move away from it. Not all the insults you put your mouth if not you will hurt your heart with them. If you are angry with them you hurt yourself the more. Forum is a place where freedom of speech is exercised. So if you don't like what the person said and you want to clear your mind you can reply to the person instantly. And by that your conscience will be clear.

[BD Crypto]

This forum is a place where you can discuss with freedom by maintaining forum rules. So in discussion any argument or dissidence can be happened and most of the times some beginners don't take it easily and they feels like offensive.
It's normal in this forum even when I was a beginner I also made mistakes and others resolved. So don't take it too much hurtful and I think no one's intention is to hurt anyone. Always try to understand speech from others and what they are actually meaning. Then if you still feel offensive then kindly ignore and move on so that you can grow yourself. Always Be Positive And Stay Far From Negativity.

Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion yes, OP I get where you're coming from. You know if nobody criticize you in anything you do in life you won't know if you're ready to take it hard in life. People will always say things to bring your morale down and if you're not as hard as a nail then it will get to you and probably bring you down completely by even killing your confidence.
You can't stop people on this Forum from saying despiteful things concerning your post or whatever you do here, is just everywhere not only here on Bitcointalk. I feel for those newbies who let such words to eat them up and even discourage them from staying strong. To me I'd say let every newbies man up shit happens.

[libert19]

I don't find 'nonsense' offensive, may be cause it wasn't directed at me. Nonetheless, despite having free speech, this forum doesn't have much offense in it, except this, ofc.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Yeah....they might indeed find the forum, but I seriously doubt many will create an account and post much.  Children are like aliens to me, but from what I've heard about them they're very much into other social media sites and would probably find bitcointalk to be the equivalent of trying to read a newspaper.  And I mean a real, physical, makes-your-fingers-black, newspaper.  It's something that won't appeal to youngsters.

And even if minors did find the forum and stick around, it's not as though every thread is infested with profanity or obscene material.  What they'd really have to worry about is getting scammed, not picking up some bad habits or bad language.  LoyceV is right that school is much worse than bitcointalk.  You can't get your ass beat here.  Nobody can wipe boogers on you or whip you with a wet towel in the locker room.  I mean, please.  Let's keep things in perspective here FFS.

Where is TMAN, by the way?

[dercfor]

I'm offended by people who are offended by words. Grow a thicker skin and enjoy freedom of speech, even for the people you disagree with.

This is especially needed if you active in different communities online. There are different types of people everywhere including internet and they can behave weird at times. If we let it affect us, it can be disturbing.

People have the right to express themselves based on their views and perception. We should have the heart to accept other people's views even when it is not inline with our own thoughts. I have also observed that words has different meaning in diverse societies. A word that you might see as an insult in your area might mean something else somewhere. So we should learn to tolerate each other. But there are some words that might be offensive. Truth be told  there are some posts that are actually nonsense. It was not useless because of grammatical errors but it was written totally out of context. But we should correct in love, so that people will not be offended. I read the post OP referred to and it was not a useless post.
