text: what are considered "banned words" when blogging or writing in on-line guestbooks?   well if i posted them here, then i would get reported!   it all depends upon the context. think about social situations. in certain work environments certain things are appropriate and others are not. some work places are more open than others- consider working in a bar versus an organized office. so, it all depends upon the situation and you. words are only "banned" if they are curse words, and that would be stated in the user agreement. it all depends upon how strict the people are who censor the site, which is often related to the actual context and content of the site (which is why i related it to a work environment).
