"Notice to all SPAMMERS"

This is the problem:

It is the intention of the majority of people on the forums to keep good standards. If you post ludicrous drivel then you ENCOURAGE those standards to decline. Before you know it people like khazar will be swearing and fighting and the whole place will disintegrate into a mess.

That's why I said I would never run another competition like WASSUP WABBIT.

When I get to work today I will delete whole threads full of spam. I don't want to spend my time doing this. I have better things to do.

The only one place where spam is tolerated at present are the worlds longest thread attempts. If necessary we will take those down too.

Argumentative factions are certainly not welcome on this site if they go beyond an acceptable level of banter. This would not be allowed even in the worlds longest threads.

People of all ages are welcome here. If we cannot control the forums then they will be protected by installing qualification. Then anybody could be barred from the main forums if they degrade the place, until they work their way back up to qualification.

Would everybody here please accept that good standards must be achieved across the board in order for the forums to remain an enjoyable place.

How can you accidentally type in the f word. Prefixed or not. He did it so he could create all this fuss I think.

This cannot, it itself, make any difference. It was prefixed (something was in front of it) - the question is was it prefixed deliberately.

Likely so.

Well Ladies and Gennelmen, it's your choice. Is Ortega telling the truth when he claims to have accidentally added a prefix to the f word.

Even if you did accidentally put the other bit in front of it - YOU still typed it and it can't be our fault.

I'm coming around to the view that this guy MIGHT not be clever enough to get around the swear filter. Sorry Ortega, but please grow up.

I saw it. You used capital letters.

I did write it as a whole word. And i didnt do anything to it.

OKAY I@LL USE THE SHIFT KEY HAPPY?

Now stop moving away from the point. I dont even know what you are talking about, prefixing the f-word? You are wrong. I didnt do anyting to it. I just typed it the same as i would type any other word.

Because it checks for whole words, probably. Which is why it doesn't block Scunthorpe.

Ortega - with the greatest respect - aren't you 18 or something? Start acting like it, will ya.
