Lets have a frank discussion about the N word

How isn’t that banned by the swear filter?

I would like to think the topic is rarely breached.

Then again, looking at some of the posts in the Ale House...

I still sometimes think about that joke he told that got him banned.
Not only was it the most convoluted and worst joke known to man, autocorrect tried to save him. He wasn’t having that though. Oh no.

Definition of NONCE

the one, particular, or present occasion, purpose, or use; the time being… See the full definition

This is my interpretation (and since I've agreed with @tommye on a moderation issue, I expect my pink slip to be incoming)

Use in connection to a convicted (not alleged) pedophile would be reasonable as it would not be libelous.

@AndyC

Rafuh says we can call Glitter, Saville, etc nonce as they have been convicted of noncery but we (not me, I'm a good lad) cannot call unconvicted peados a nonce.

Would that be correct?

 

[summerisle]

Is it Nuno ?

 

[Tipp blue]

What about Prince Andrew?

Case pending, if one is found guilty of the accusations in a court in front of a jury of his peers, then we can say he's a nonce...

It was similar to what Goat posted … rearrange the letters

Until that day we can refer to him as the Royal child snatcher

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Nonce won't be added to our list of censored words.

It's not an offensive word in isolation.

Though, it's use can of course warrant a warning;

All down to context - as all moderation should be.

99/100, the warning is a simple discouragement of inappropriate use and is a;

Inappropriate Language: 5 points

Now...

Warning System
30 Points = Suspended for 2 Days.
60 points = Suspended For 7 Days.
80 points = Suspended For 14 Days.

Given the above won't change, there's no room for discussion so I'll close this.

I'll also make a list of one or two who think they're clever and perm ban them the next time I have any excuse.....

That would appear to be a reasonable compromise.
