I would like to use the word "fuck" instead of "do" in my sig. Would that be kosher?

No.

I was a bit confused, as the PG-13 guide in this forum seems to say that "fuck" is PG-13. It's not? Or is it because it's in a sig? Sorry for asking questions, but not having PG-13 restrictions makes them hard to understand, as I have no "feel" for what falls on either side of the acceptable. So, I'm not questioning the decision, just trying to understand for future reference.

I won't go into the uses of "fuck" as an adverb and stuff, so I assume this is only pertinent when it means "have sexual relations with" and not as in "this is fucking great" or similar constructs.

I also assume "do" is OK. If not, I'll change it.

Nothing like a direct answer.

The rules for sigs are a bit more stringent than for posts, as the sig will be repeated all over.

And Sirenian Vinery, if you have nothing of import to say, don't post in the moderation forum.

I remember I used a quotation from an exchange in the UN forum for a while, which contained "fuck". I then got a TG from another player, asking me to change it, because he plays from school, and the system was blocking every page with the word on it - including every page my sig was on - which rendered that debate, and a good many others, unreadable to him. So - questions of decency, on which it's not my place to comment, aside - I've since then tried to stay away from using words like that, simply out of a practical consideration.

You'd think he'd turn sigs off. :\

He shouldn't have to, because of one swear word in one sig.

For the sake of a) People who use the forum at school and b) People who would be offended by the use of the word, I'd say to just leave it as 'do'.

Well, apologies for breathing. Glad I didn't use any foul language in my post.
I probably would have found myself banned. :rolleyes:
