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.

Like I said - the filter does stop the swear word, when it's on its own. You got around it by prefixing it. Funny - none of the other words were prefixed.

Now DROP the subject. And don't expect replies from me if you can't be bothered to use your shift key.

Typical behaviour pattern called "it's not my fault".

I know I stole your car but you should have fitted an alarm.

What do you expect if you don't make the school out of fire-proof material?



You know as well as I do that your f word was not a word on its own and you deliberately did that to get around the filter. Don't play Mr Smartipants with me.

Tony I'm heartbroke, just when we were getting to be friends you turn around and say such horrible things. Don't ever expect me to buy off of your company. Maybe 200,000 was a bit too much but that's no way to reply.

What is this Spam thing anyway? I am hearing about it everyday

Firstly I am sure that you are not so stupid to claim

Firstly I am sure that you are not so stupid to claim that you accidentally got around the swear filter.

Secondly we should not need a swear filter - we had to do the work on that because of people like you.

Thirdly you mustn't swear any more.

Fourthly (if there is such a word) thou shalt not spam our site.

Fifthy (if there is such a word) did you know that the word "you" is spelt YOU.

Do you judge the winners of gameaday? Also don't you think my comments are very mature for my age and I should be offered a job at your company on 200,000 a year?
