omfg.... most of you may have read my post
on the guild with the word 'gay'....
evidently 'gay' is censored.... so i typed
it this way:
ga.y
well.... 5 minutes later i receive an official
neomail warning from the fucking GAY neopet
site about the 'content' of my post...
here's what it said VERBATIM:
<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">lord have mercy.....Officially trasmitted from the GAY offices of neopia admin:
You have received an official warning from the Neopets Team for violating the Neopets Terms and Conditions. Neopets is not the place to discuss anything sexual, including homosexuality, a persons sexual orientation, or their preferences. Using it as an insult is not acceptable, either. If you continue to break the rules, your account will be permanently frozen. To see a list of Neo Rules, please visit http://www.neopets.com/chatrules.phtml. Please do not reply to this NeoMessage.
yeah... point taken.... but even so... what is
most annoying is that its automatically censored...
without any real just cause (other than that
faithful ToS)...
even in my post on the guild i said: "i love gay!"
yanno, without sounding commercial, its times
like these that you can really appreciate the
CHOICE to say what you will....
hostboard provides that choice... and in contrast,
even if you are censored... at least we give
you the respect to add asterisks instead of
fucking sending a threatening warning and
deleting all of your posts....

It's funny how gay used to mean:
Showing or characterized by cheerfulness and lighthearted excitement; merry.
Bright or lively, especially in color: a gay, sunny room.
Given to social pleasures.
Dissolute; licentious.
Yet now, the only possible meaning is:
Of, relating to, or having a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex.
