| Jul 28, 2010 at 19:43 | comment | added | dbasnett | I wasn't talking about moving words, I meant the entire post. It only fractures the model if every thread has posts with objectionable material. Most (almost all) posters don't resort to objectionable words. | |
| Jul 28, 2010 at 16:45 | comment | added | devinb | @dbasnett. Moving objectionable words to a separate part of the site completely fractures the StackOverflow model. The site is about questions and answers, how would that work with an "adults only" area? | |
| Jul 28, 2010 at 14:23 | comment | added | dbasnett | Why not a compromise? Allow people to post what they want. If the post is objectionable move it to a special place that everyone knows contains objectionable material, and note in the thread that so-and-so's answer / comment was moved. Free speech should always be allowed, but I do not believe that means you can force that speech upon me. | |
