| Dec 16, 2011 at 15:12 | comment | added | voretaq7 | @MarkHenderson does bring up an interesting point though - I've noticed that even the most delicate flowers tend to start cussing like sailors after prolonged exposure to the IT field (Sysadmin, Programming, and especially Datacenter Operations). I'm not exactly sure what that means, but it probably means something... | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 22:29 | comment | added | MDMarra | @MarkHenderson I understand what you're saying, but many of the things said in chat are no different that many of us hear daily at our workplaces. We have a rather constructive discussion(once off-site mods stopped trying to bully) and realized that some of the things that happen in chat are unacceptable. That said, the use of profanity was one of the things that we vehemently defended. As long as it's not directed at someone in an attempt to be hurtful I think that it is wholly OK. If it's meant to be hurtful then it's unacceptable. That goes for everything, not just profanity. | |

Ive never been in an environment where there are NSFW rules - as a teenager I learned very, very creative methods of swearing whilst doing work experience in an IT office. Never in my life had I heard such filth. Fast forward 8 years to 2 years ago and we hired the most polite, petite, and politicially correct 25-year-old indian woman. The other day I heard her say to herself "G----- m------f---- piece of s--- c--- a-- f---ing thing won't compile". I was proud but also dissapointed in myself. Perhaps some self moderation isn't a bad thing...

| Dec 15, 2011 at 15:24 | comment | added | MDMarra | Either way my points still stand. IMO, we may cross a line from time to time as a group, but I hardly think that it's a problem. To paraphrase @pauska in chat "if this ends up with us talking like Flanders, I'm out." | |
| Dec 15, 2011 at 15:17 | comment | added | user9517 | Unexpectedly you have misinterpreted moderation as requiring a moderator. There is personal moderation too. | |
