Hi, this is Ali, back from my holiday and a bit worried about the state of the forums. There's been a few bannings, of which a few of you are upset about, but a few ground rules need to be set.
Swearing, in any form is not allowed. This is a family forum (believe it or not) and we don't want young people coming on here reading foul language, or indeed, parents coming on here and seeing the kind of language that some of you post. The swear filter is there for a reason, and that's not for you to try and beat it with s p a c e s or 'quote marks'. If we find any swearing, of any kind, it'll be deleted, and you may be banned.
Being offensive to one another is something we will also not tolerate. As you all know, someone was banned last week (in my absence, I might add) for calling someone a dirty homo, or something like that. This just ain't acceptable I'm afraid. Just as bad is topics like the one saying things like 'so and so likes hairy men' - it might have been a joke, but some people don't have the same sense of humour as you, and din't find it funny. We're not saying stop having fun, but topics like that serve only to annoy.
Some people have accused us of favouritism in the past ie. certain people get away with saying stuff without a warning, and some don't. From now on, there'll be no swearing at all, BY ANYBODY on the site, whether you've been here a day or 3 years. Posts with swearing or offensive writing in them will be deleted, and depending on the severity of the post, will be warned/banned. This means everyone.
This shouldn't be hard to do, the vast majority of you are adults, or at least are mature enough to behave like civilised people. These are our forums, and you'll post on here by our rules, whether you like it or not. If anyone has any problems with this, let me know, but I'd like this to be a new start for these forums, with no stupid slanging matches between users, no *starring out* offensive posts and no deliberately getting people annoyed. If you've got something you wanna get out of your system, do it someplace else.
I hope you can all agree to these rules.

As you know I'm not the most religous person
However, if I am drastically wrong about God and heaven etc I find it most unfair that I get sent straight to hell just because I'm not a follower of Christanity and any other religious body.
I'm member of Amnesty etc... I care about people and the world in general etc... but oh no I don't believe in God so I go to hell.
That's discrimination... he should have a second coming to shut me up :p
We're in wrong topic

Exactly. I praise everyday, not just sunday.
Also, when you say you care about the world more, you don't mean tree-hugging and the such, do you? :D It's just becoming a Christian, in my opinion anyway, has made me care much more about other people's feelings and the world in general. Not in a tree-hugging way, but still. {:) Obviously (as you know) I still take digs at people, but only at people I know, and they know I'm just joking around.
And politics is just a dirty business, I'd rather not get myself involved. People say that it obviously affects me because it's the politicians who decide how 'we live', but I'm a small person with small values and don't really care.
Oooh, I like that little phrase. :D
