Being the helpful Mod that I am
2. Language
Profanity and profanity directed at others in an insulting manner will not be tolerated, nor will obscene, vulgar, hateful, racist, threatening or language violative of any laws.
The site has a swear filter installed. It is there for a reason, namely to filter out inadvertent instances of words not suitable for a family forum. The filter will replace the word with the * character. Any posts which bypass the swear filter (where letters have been selectively starred out, but other letters left, to make it obvious what the word is) will be edited or removed. Any posts where the swear filter has had to go into overtime will simply be deleted.
This is a family forum and as such members don't want their children asking what those words mean, nor do the majority of people wish to see a post or thread littered with expletives.
Repeated breaches of this rule will result in an infraction and/or ban at the discretion of the forum moderators.
