Vague and Arbitrary

I mean no offense, but the following: "The name uses profanity that cannot be used over the public airwaves as defined by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission." is pretty arbitrary. I understand what you're getting at, but unfortunately the FCC is so haphazard in how it determines what is allowable any given day that it seems difficult for admins/b-crats/users to try to predict how they would rule on a given word. I'd propose instead to either a concrete list that we can point to, or go more vague and just codify "common sense"/discretion. If you've heard/read some of the podcasts you'll see that the lines that Standards and Practices people/FCC write in are not only not written in stone, they're not even written in sand. --Steelviper 12:53, 18 January 2007 (CST)
