The thing is many younger or foreign fans dont understand the context. Its just another site giving football news.
I understand the counter argument. But given the weight of that word (and emotional response it brings), I would rather keep it banned. Hopefully, people learn to use words like sunlight, sunshine, sunrise etc when they need to refer to our star 
I am always bemused when I hear this because it is on sale at all newsagents and supermarkets by me including the nearby family newsagent where the owners are fans. They told me a few years ago that it was their second highest seller after the Daily Mail.
…or Flappy 
It wasn’t a mistake.
Personally, I am rather more in favour of context and banhammers.
Me too, although I’d happily see “howling” automatically censored.
yeah but I was using it in the context of the natural setting
i think they’re unfamiliar with that context in that part of the world
Doesn’t bother me either way if words are banned or not.
The mods set the forum up and run it, so if it’s their toy, it’s their rules.
Please add
Uniform for kit
Roster for squad
Quarterback for Alonso
Those are phrases, not words.

No. They are words substituting for other words.
Similarly then, are trequarista, desequilibrante and metronome, also confined to the dump?

Oh I get it…
Uniform instead of Kit
right!!!
I think censoring the very word “s-un” is silly, but that is my opinion and other people have different opinions. It ought to be possible to talk about our star, and dare I say it, even possible to mention that rag in passing.
However, if the majority and the mods wants to censor such a word, it is not a hill I want to die on.
It is not just the ‘majority’ of the mods… It is the majority of the City and fanbase…
I didn’t say what you quoted me as saying, mind you. Look again.
My apologies if I misinterpreted your crystal clear message…
