| It's a serious topic. Using it as an insult is just being idiotic. |

Using cancer as an insult generally does result in a ban if reported, and can also be reported to info@roblox.com if the person is consistent with his/her abuse.
One of ROBLOX's co-founders unfortunately passed away by this disease and there is a double-no-tolerance policy regarding bigotry on this subject.
Report consistent abuse/flaming to your integrity to info@roblox.com with evidence. ROBLOX Staff can read your messages and very recent chat logs.
Cheers, Kay |

| I could see you getting a warn for it, or a ban if you do this alot. But unfortunately alot of people are immature that way, and cancer and other sicknesses are regularly used as jokes. I guess in a way your right, mabye if the punishments were worse people would learn there lesson and not joke about it |

@Kay
If this is true is they are banning freedom of speech. Cancer isn't a bad word, seriously ROBLOX is so strict now. |

"If this is true is they are banning freedom of speech."
No, they are not.
"Cancer isn't a bad word."
Not to you, but that doesn't mean it doesn't offend others.
"ROBLOX is so strict now."
How so? |

"No, they are not."
Yes they are, this is a kids site you can ban words cuss words etc, but you can't ban words like Cancer.
"Not to you, but that doesn't mean it doesn't offend others."
What are you some radical feminist? If you are that scared of "trigger words" or being triggered you never gonna face anything.
"How so?"
Banning everything that can be considered a insult, seriously you have to face you fears or simply ignore it. |

| This is the internet, where Cancer, Ebola, and Autism are regularly used as jokes. Deal with it. |

@ Marfit
I don't know how many people died of Ebola, but I wouldn't use it as a joke. Same with cancer. Its a really dangerous illness because it can hardly be known by just the brain it self. |

I call lots of threads on S&I "cancerous"
but when I say "cancerous" i use it as the adj "an evil influence that spreads dangerously" not the medical term |

| Using it in the meaning "an evil influence that spreads dangerously" would most likely be fine as it is not directly insulting someone. |

| Also censor "autistic", "autism" or "autist" since idiots are using it as an insult and going crazy over it. It just means you think differently.. |

| ^ I agree. Also, what about Ebola? Shouldn't that be a banned word as-well? |
