A collection of language or behavior that is forbidden on the board in the name of decorum.
I dare not list the utterance that I was told was not to be spoken, but, I urge the moderators to list it and any other 'out of bounds' language or behavior in this thread so we users of the forum may know where the lines are.
Thank you.

Here is what we have in the forum rules.
Avoid profanity, ethnic slurs, and inappropriate language. Do not insult other posters. In particular, do not attack the intelligence or honesty of others. Rebut the "stupid" or "dishonest" post and allow others draw the appropriate conclusion. If a bad poster is "spamming" such volume of poor arguments and nonsense that it would be a waste of time to respond, notify a moderator.
We will not be putting out a list of specific words that can and can't be said. Just use your best judgment. The moderation team will let you know if there's an issue.
Some people might think the rule above is overly stodgy, but my thinking on this is that there is a time and place for everything. I'm sure that at times many of us are in the mood to do looser, edgier stuff. I get that, but this isn't really the place for that. Best to do that elsewhere. Remember we are affiliated with the CODOH organization. We don't want to damage that brand by having the forum be a total sewer.
Many newspapers and media organizations are even today quite conservative in what they print. The rationale for this is that they want to maintain seriousness and credibility, and peppering a text with profanity might put off some readers and advertisers without any real upside. Academic publications likewise favor a conservative, professional tone.
Another consideration is that what we discuss here is controversial (to put it mildly) and things can get heated between the two sides. If people are constantly letting loose with insults and profanity that will tend to raise the temperature and will, as a rule, tend to lower the quality of the discussion.

I think I get it, and it makes sense.
For anyone that comes across this thread in the future, comparing another forum member to a homosexual person of color (the classic gamer N-F word) is past the line.
It's, actually right there in the forum rules as well.
Sometimes I forget these things, and sometimes I forget the ignore feature exists. I'm going to put the user I compared to a homosexual person of color on mute. That should help me clean up my language.
Some of the 'content' that guy just mindlessly shits out...

Be assured such N-F content would not be accepted at your other forum. Its not death by hanging but mmm instant account deactivation after a warning.

YouTube is one of the only places that seems to allow the compound N-F.
It will get you kicked off of almost any platform though and is forbidden almost everywhere, so, I take your point Mr Wraith.
Also bitchute, but, apparently with a disclaimer and caveat;
There is a sensitivity warning on it.
With forums, there are not many that allow the compound word in question.
