Difference between Minor profanity, borderline and non borderline

[Michael David 33]

Identifying profanities might be difficult for readers who are not native English speakers. I have faced this issue and the word I thought was borderline was non-borderline profanity and it is frustrating because you only get to know it after your review has been checked by an editor and this affects the score. Even the editors or the guidelines don't provide a list of profanities which are borderline and non-borderline. Initially, I used to check for profanities online with any random profanities checker but those don't show if it is borderline or non-borderline and when in confusion it is always better to choose non-borderline. I had gone through multiple forums and finally found the forum created by Scott from onlinebookclub.org and it has been a saver. viewtopic.php?f=132&t=226478

The issue of profanity is actually a very subjective issue. What one person might consider absolute profanity might actually be borderline to me depending on the society I was raised or I live in.

Exactly my thought.

The first sentence should be identified as non-borderline profanity.
I believe the word "assholes" should also be considered non-borderline.

There is a profanity guide on this site on the old reviewer support page. I suggest you take a look

I am confused right now; I am not sure if "bloody" should be considered profanity. If it is, is it borderline or non-borderline?

I think that the problem is the titles given to the words. Borderline or minor profanity is easy to understand but the words "non borderline" are confusing. I think maybe they should switch to sometime like "extreme profanity" and it would help some of the new reviewers.
