"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.

To be honest, it's gotten a lot worse since this original post stance........

Kinda ironic isn't it? The more mods ask people not to do something, the more they will try to find ways of doing it, but not quite doing it...

You love it and you know it.

How about we substitute?

"I'm gonna knock your custard head off in a minute, you custard tool!"

this topic is just like asking fro people to swaer or come up with more words that get through the fliter.
