    and why that ? if the desire of sts was to prohibit these words to avoid insults against these people, I think it's not best solution. For me, it 's more discriminating than helpfull

    What would be helpful? Let the kids bully as much as they want to? Because the kids really love to bully. There is nothing they like better than bullying, unless it is whining about being bullied.

    The problem with the word censorship with me is, some words in my native language contains those prohibited words. When I talk to my friends I sometimes forget it was prohibited, it may mean someting offensive in english of it had different meaning for us. It is really a hassle specially when your not really used in talking in english.

    Probably muted because they people *cough* 12year olds *cough* would go around calling everything and everyone with the word.

    One thing that might help is if the system would tell you what you said that got you muted. This would help those who just dont know that something is offensive or a explitive in another language/culture.
    Can Sts implement this into the mute system? Dunno, but it would be nice.

    Btw, just because someone doesnt think a word is offensive doesn't mean it isn't.

    were you using the word gay in a derogatory sense? if so: it is people like you that mean the word has to be muted. it's the year 2016, how about getting with the programme?

    and tell me, genius, what is the solution then? cos it seems like you're the problem... and IRONIC that you find it 'discriminating' that you're not allowed to use discriminatory language?? *facepalm*
