"Swearing on the forums"

For some reason, over the last few weeks, therehas been a marked increase in the amount of swearing on the boards, coming from both newbies and some regulars.

If you are new, please take a look at the rules: [URL]http://ukchatforums.com/forumrules.php[/URL]. Even if you're not, it might not hurt to review them again.

Just to get it clear, swearing in any form is not allowed. That includes starring out letters and replacing letters with ! characters etc. The swear filter in place will catch some but it is only a backup tool. In reality someone has to go through and edit or delete your post.

First offence will be a warning, repeated violations will result in a banning. It is such a stupid thing to be banned for because it is utterly preventable.

Please bear in mind that this is a family forum, visited by people of all ages, and it is irresponsible (and unnecessary) to use bad language around here.

Thanks.

**** off you *******. You can **** my ****.

********.

Exactly my point! B*tch in the dog content is used in "The Prisoner of Azkaban", imagine how young that audience gets...

I have been given a warning and I would like to apoaglise

it is not are fault there is no list of words that we can and can't say

Lets close this crap topic down haa

Waaaait.

Can I just get one thing straight, what counts as swearing? Does "F***" count as saying the filtered word?

I'm confused...

maybe so geeze but there is plenty more swearing on the box at ridiculous times like 8 or 9 pm!

its only fair that we dont swear. who knows young children may look at this site.

I said "b*tch" in the dog content and I got warned for it.

I think you need to define quite what swearing is...

For example:
Do words like damn, and ass, even b*tch if used in the correct context, constitute as swearing?
