From the Forum Rules:

SPAM

You can, however, place links in your signature (excluding forums) as long as it is placed sensibly.

Besides, I thought we were supposed to have a PG-13 rule here, the word t1ts can be seen in numerous PG-13 movies, it's not an offensive word. I can't see how anyone can be offended by that.

perhaps possibly because Dick is also a first name ? (the Dick Van Dyck show)
and that Cock is a name overhere? (a police series where the inspector introduces himself as "My name is the Cock with C - O - C - K... or a defender on the right flank for Club Bruge : De Cock)

Indeed.

Besides, someone must have posted something about it that was vulgar, therefore Raz senored it.

It kind of says a lot about people who cant converse with out using vulgarity and swearing.

I dont see the need to make any sensored words unsensored. Its just gonna lead to more insults, but its gonna be more visible.

You can still insult people without using swear words, the message is still the same, just people are trivial about the package in which said message is delivered. Shallow shallow people.
