It is the equivalent of saying fudge or darn.
Even with the definition given by the BSG wiki, which clearly states it to be a profanity?
You've made a thread about this before, asking the same question.
Its in the mod section:
viewtopic.php?f=268&t=188491I believe my statement covers this.
I'll use my reply in that thread to respond to this:
Haz wrote:Its fairly easy to replace the examples with less "offensive" equivalents:
"shut the hell up" "stuff him up" "what the hell"
Why not use those instead of using something which, by definition of the BSG community themselves, would be counted as a profanity? Would make things much simpler.

Ah ok, So if I say Get the frak out or what the frak?
It can be like either saying the F word or saying hell.
Possibly, but if you extend that to frak you, You will probably be warned, if nothing else. for being abusive.
How is that being abusive?

Saying "**Filtered** you" to someone can be seen as abusive, and as such, so could "frak you".

Oh Smeg, we've been through the TV phrases plenty of times.

The difference between smeg and frak is that frak was actually defined as a replacement for **Filtered**, **Filtered**, etc.

No the difference between the TV phrases issue and the Game/Forum Filter issue being discussed here is that it's taken the thread off topic.

That doesn't change that there is the difference between frak and smeg.
I believe that discussing the TV phrases would still fall under the heading of "Forum filter issue" though.

Haz, this is a discussion regarding the Game filter vs Forum filter.

We already discussed the phrase frak and all other words like that, in the Mod Section. It was decided that they are 100% allowed. As I remember that was the consensus, and it is also my opinion (as head of General).

Now now children, no need for this just because neither of you could come up with any sort of decent argument.
