I am highly disgusted at the blatant discrimination GameFAQs users show towards Gamespot and its members. Follow this thread link here and you may see exactly what I'm talking about. Something needs to be done. If not, I will take the steps necessary to get in contact with someone who can do something. (By that I mean gamespot and gameFAQs administrators)

Something needs to be done!

I don't care so much about gay I want to use "class" and "style" in my post. I have an art union, and I can't talk about class and style.yian
You should post another topic then about that :) This one is concerning being able to use the word gay in topic titles. It should not be censored. Neither should other words meaning gay

Just thought I'd add....If anyone else reads this topic and feels strongly enough to say anything about it, please do. The more support we get, the better things will turn out. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much Shleco - I got your message and I appreciate what you've done. I couldn't have asked for a better mod response. Hopefully things will work out. I have another question, however, if it is not stopped from being censored, what then? It was not only the word gay but homosexual, queer gay , and most other forms of it that I tried. I won't worry about it but I really hope it is taken off the censored word list. Once again, thank you for your help and support. It means a great deal to me. You're right, that's what mods are there for :) To help people with problems pertaining to the site and to moderate the boards to make sure they're being used respectfully. I will stand behind this issue, but I will only do it in a respectful way. Maybe in the near future we'll see a huge improvement.

I recently posted a topic looking for other "gaymers" which means gay gamers to see who else played the games I played, but it was taken off. I also noticed that the word gay is sensored and so is every other word that means gay Why is this? I feel that is blatant discrimination. On one hand it helps that people can't call things gay thus keeping people from getting offended, but on the other hand it stops gays from finding other people on this site who have things in common with them and play the games they play. I don't see what the big deal is. In a world where we are trying to build acceptance (and we're making a lot of progress), I don't see how the word gay is suddenly a horrible thing to speak or type. Please respond as clearly and as thoroughly as possible. Thank you for your time.
