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.

People aren't gonna know your website from here because the URL is offensive. That's why it was changed to a more family friendly tagline ;)

And no, you can't swear after 9 'cause your posts are still here in the morning.

Perhaps you could impliment an engine that searches for swearing morning at 6am and changes the whole word to asterisks.

Im aware this would be extremely impractical
