G- Rated Image of the Day Forum?

I think it's fine as it is now. Nobody is gratuitously X-rated, in general people "keep it clean". In my experience, if you try and enforce a familiy-rated language standard, some people will go out of their way to try and break it. Just because they can. So the standard decreases rather than increases.

I believe the images and thread titles should be family rated (so as not to upset "safe" google searches and the like), but the follow-up content? Nah.

Mind you, I don't subscribe to the whole "bad word" thing, so my opinion is a little biased. To me, no words are bad. What counts is the use -meaning/intention and appropriateness. As far as I'm concerned, exclaiming "sugar" when you mean "shit" is no improvement. A written F**K is no improvement on fuck we all know what you mean -I can see that censor-bots could be a problem, but meh.
