My impression of this is, generally speaking, the moderator team isn't thrilled about having to go around censoring the f-word and s-word in posts but Shades seems to think that it will make the Terrestrial and Paradise forums more attractive to Mormon participants.
Not necessarily, but please give me some time to address this in more detail.

I suspect this may even be the thing he was excited about seeing getting underway when Res came on as a mod. And when this activity drew complaints such as seen at the start of this thread with Jersey Girl, it put them in an unenviable position of trying to first deflect from the topic since neither EAllusion nor RI seem to want to spend their time doing this but are obligated to as Shades's moderators, followed by having to defend an activity that they don't seem to agree with at a personal level.
Any complaints were due to miscommunication on my part. I'll give more detail later, but first I need to continue reading and weighing the various statements made in this thread. (This quick response from me is just as much a reminder to myself to NOT let your post go unanswered.)

Short answer to all this, in my mind, is that the moderator team doesn't have an obligation to answer questions on it in any capacity. Shades needs to own this . . .
I own it. They are saddled with enough expectations from me as it is; I can't reasonably expect them to account (or apologize!) for MY thought processes. Should they decline to explain themselves, feel free to ask me what's up and I'll step in.

and frankly, I think he ought to go back to letting the censor do it's thing with the realization folks like mentalgymnast come here to remind themselves of how depraved leaving the church makes a person. The swearing is one of the main attractions...

Seriously, though. It can't be worth the mod's time to do this. And it just creates ill will.
Like I said, more on this is forthcoming.
