New Rule: Replace the Word "Lynch" in Games

Good change.

I still remember the time we were riding the trains in Chicago on our way to a mini meetup at TSQ's house, and we were talking game theory and I was REALLY afraid the word would come up in public.

Also looking forward to a tshirt I can wear safely, instead of using it as an around-the-house-chores only item.

Also also VOTE: Guillotine

I mean long-long term, I feel like whatever the newbie queue adopts as the standard will likely take over site jargon, jsut from the stream of new recruits that will internalize it as "what it should be"

I am also perfectly fine with "Lim" as short for Eliminate.

There are other ways to teach him. If that's your thing.
It's impossible for anyone to use that word; it gets filtered to [removed] (sic). I discovered that while trying to c/p a quote from a 60s Civil Rights activist into the USpol thread.
why couldn't the thread be "so we're filtering the word lynch to eliminate"

Because the mods decided to NOT be draconian and allow users to migrate slowly.

But I non-ironically support auto filter being set up exactly as you just described.
