    I don't think there is any problem with this world.

    This word has lot of meaning.

    I had Adsense suspended because of the word "Nigger" which someone posted on the forum.

    So i would say no.

    Better to be on the safe side and not use such words in your site.

    Try to use alternate words.
    Or sensor the words

    Or you might opt to use an "image" with this word instead of using the "text" .Who knows Adsense might be using some kind of word scanner on the pages displaying adsense ads

    it all depends on few things , like if you start the threads with F word on dp , it would probably have no effect on dp
    but if post it few times on a new blog
    google might raise the flag
    it also depends how you use the word

    You should read thru the TOS and policies to know for sure. But if i recall it says something about not using curse words "excessively".
    In my forum i use a word filter to replace words like this.. Before i started using the word filter, i noticed that if blacklisted words this showed up just a few times, the page would display PSA's instead of real ads..

    I have seen it done on a few forums and there have been no problems. I was curious myself and rechecked them a few months later and the adsense was still running. I have even seen people use the word in the tile directed at Google and they still use Adsense.

    The reason for that was it was hate speech which is clearly outlined in the policies.

    k, I guess I'll come out in the open.

    I want to change this site around a bit and use the word f@#king in the keywords, title, description, etc.

    Now I've been doing some thinking, is this site considered pornographic?? There are no hardcore animal pics in it...lol

    It was actually a nigger joke and the person who posted it was black.

    They still yanked Adsense from the site.

    I hope if those words are censored, then forum members would use something like "f.u.c..." and by breaking the word like this, we should not have any issue. It's just my thought.

    Google's rules dont say anything about "pornographic" content - it says that "adult" content is not permitted.
    I think your animal site is borderline - But if you start using the F*word in it, it would easily be considered 'adult'.

    if you care about your adsense account, i would not risk it, even without the F*words .. if you dont care about your account, try it and see what happens - worst that can happen is they ban you for LIFE...
