"New Gameaday and Filmaday Rules"

Ali has been asked to ammend the rules of Gameaday and Filmaday. People who post offensive posts, disrupt the forums or use foul language will be excluded from the final judgements and will not win any prizes.

It's a good thing this isn't a democracy, and isn't covered by the ECOHR because otherwise we'd have free speech. Personally I believe that (Censored by someone who hides in the background). Blast! Still, you must remember that words are merely something that was invented to make understanding people a little easier. True communication is in the understanding of the meaning rather than any use of words. They do say that some 70% of communication is non-verbal, like the signal I'm giving you. BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA. Yes, it is a bit foolish making gestures at my PC, but since no one can see me it doesn't matter (though that also means there's no point). Blast again!

Isn't this a Prime Topic? What if I had been swearing on the Prime topics board and come over here only to find i'd doomed myself. Now your line is "You should have read the rules when you first came in". Go on, you know you want to. Oh and I did 8'P.

Ok, here's a new slant on the rules:

Stop swearing

Hey, it's easy to do, and constant swearing tends to make you look a bit stupid, like you can't express yourself properly and have to swear instead. Profanity is all well and good, but not here please. And remember.

Stop swearing.

Ah right :-)

Would you consider b*st*rd swaering as long as it wasn't directed at someone. I used it in an english lesson to describe a child born out of marriage in some 19th centurybook and the teacher reprimanded me on it. It is odd where some people draw the boundary.

It is clearly just a general rule it is hardly likely to result in punisment unless it is frequently broken.

Ok i tried to post this and the forum wouldn't let me. Oh well.

Umm, if it is only to stop the trouble makers that go over the top and the people that everyone dislikes then what is the point. The sort of people you talk about never win GAD anyway because they are to busy typing rubbish to write a good topic.

Hi ya! Right im guessing that you and ali are the moderators then. Just wanted to know something bout this rule, if the swear word is covered up by *, $, % etc, etc, does that count ?

Good point, SHEEPY.

Some people do consider that swearing.

I think it's just a case of common sense though, to be honest. I think it's just generally what would be considered 'swearing' in everyday conversation that is unacceptable.

Me and YH have said some very near-the-mark things which, while not 'swearing', could be considered warning material. I'd like to know how Tony & co. feel about that; while it's all tongue-in-cheek fun, I'd stop it if Tony thought it was too much.
