Avoiding by acronyms?

So is it avoiding by using acronyms?
This has come to my attention because I have heard people say both ways.
I have heard,"well so-an-so to me that u can use acronyms to cuss."
Then I hear people tell others,"please leave the F out of WTF."
Now I just want to know what experts should be telling people.to leave out the "F" or is it okay to use acronyms?
I do know when a kid sees something like WTF and wonders what it stands for he usually will ask his
Parents,friends,or the people on this game.
But the arguement has come up saying that it is stupid to assume that "F" stands for the cuss word.because it could stand for fork,fudge,ect..plus it is also almost an infinite amount of acronyms to watch that people use to cuss.

And do please keep in mind the I am using F as a representative of all the acronyms out there that stand for cuss words.

Re: Avoiding by acronyms?

Wouldn't it be better to mute for words that are offensive. I mean laughing your a off doesn't sound to offensive as the "w" one is?

Re: Avoiding by acronyms?

Common sense needs to be used.

Those above acronyms are obvious and should be treated as such.
Basically, if you can google it and come up with cussing in the first few results, it's considered common.

There's no clear cute rule as such but players are warned for 'f u' so why not 'stfu'?

I've noticed that everything you type has a very negative spin on it and lacks any constructive criticism.
Might I suggest either adding something valuable to the conversations or simply staying out of them?

Well,I must say some guy told me that he really wasn't saying F he was saying fork lol

But another thing to bring up is when people say "effing" should that be mutable too??

LM fork ao??? Fork you??? Fork me??? Fork my life??? :lol:

I can't think of a way to use fork...that goes with something that could be where the f word is. Fudge...maybe. They should indicate that they're using it this way a few times first. You're still using the same context. could still be considered offensive. :shock:
