I think it just depends what context its in. If its abused we can just filter it again :).

So you could say "EWW HE IS A ****" - and get infractioned
but I guess you could say "My **** mate is great"
So it could be used instead of Pakistani. I usually use **** instead of Pakistani (in a non-racist way).

Is saying "I'm off down to ****'s" racist?

Would channel 4 let you get away with saying it :rolleyes_ (The 1 above me)

Gosh let's just unfilter the word ******* while we're at it. (Work it out :))

**** is hardly ever used in its right context and will only lead to more infractions and more bans.

It's like unfiltering the 'N' word.

Totally agree as I said in the other thread this word is referred to in reference books and dictionarys as being a derogatory and offensive term which isn't the same as say Aussie or Brit. You are right it is no different to the N word. I think the decision should be reconsidered.

In response to the first post, I dont understand why you'd want to use that word? As far as I know its only meaning is sexual, and talk of the nature is forbidden. Care to enlighten me?

no you could use it in the teen forum.

Whoever unfiltered **** has done a good job, MAD? - Good work.

It's not racist and is same as Brit and Aussie, if it's considered offensive should we ban 'Chav'? and scally etc? - No.

Personally i think everyone or no-one should eb able to say ******, why do black people find it offensive if a white person says it but they can use it with their mates :S thats just splitting people up into the colour of their skin.

And i think good decision on unfiltering **** btw, political correctness should start being phased out of soceity IMO

If you are now unflitering words that have a proper and valid meaning, id personally suggest adding *astard (someone whos parents arnt married), *itch (a female dog) and *ss (the correct term for a donkey) to that list as well, since they are FAR more likely to be used in the correct context than "****" most likely is going to be, and are very limitedly offensive to start with "/ Even *rse (which means ya butt aint really offensive to anyone and comprises expressions much like the world crap does "my works a pain in the *rse" Just my two pence anyway.

As for orgasm i cant figure out why in the world that would need to be filtered to start with?
