Screaming_Peasants Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 So I made a siggy a while back that contained "TerminallyCapricious" and got a warning.As of yesterday I have a siggy that says "Scandalous" in it. Would that be a banned word?the whole siggy is"Can you handle us?Soul cool baby, scandalous."It's Soul Evans' theme in the anime Soul Eater.I would like to know if it might get a warning before I use it.This post has been edited by a member of staff (Spritzie) because of a violation of the forum rules.Please don't double post.

Shelley Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 sorry about your warning :/ my general rule is- if you have to question it, it's best not to say it at all I don't really know what that quote means, but it doesn't hurt to change it to something you know won't be questionable. That way you won't have to stress over it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteWolf Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I don't see anything wrong with it. Then again, I like that anime. Any anime with Johnny Yong Bosch in its cast always gets my attention. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascalla Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I really don't see what's wrong with TerminallyCapricious. I guess they don't like Homestuck references.Technically, mentioning Homestuck is mentioning another site though, and that's against the rules.Personally, it sounds like someone either likes Homestuck and therefore know you were referencing it (which is really piny niny) or they don't like Homestuck and decided to take it out on you.Being "terminally capricious" is arguably a "real world problem", but they are not bad words.ANYWAY, I wouldn't risk that siggy you're thinking of just in case. You're going to have to find a dramatic hipster phrase like everyone else. Duskitty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatlauralass Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Pascalla - My understanding is that both words (terminally which means at the end/is used in conjunction with illness a lot, and capricious which can mean sudden/unaccountable changes of mood or behaviour) can relate to mental illness, or bipolar disorder, and mental illness of any form shouldn't be discussed on neo. As for scandalous... I'm not sure. It doesn't directly mean anything banned on Neo, but as Shelley's said if you have to ask, maybe it's just not worth risking another warning/silence/ban over. Regardless of whether it's an innocent quote or not, if it could have an ulterior meaning in any way, shape or form, then it's best to avoid putting it into your neo signature.

Screaming_Peasants Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks everyone for your input! I think I'll either take out the word scandalous or make a new one altogether :D This topic has been edited by a member of staff (Rune Valentine). The original topic has been answered.
