"Please read this, all of you"

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.

yeah Myst does/did post some risky stuff.

Yeah poor Myst. ;-))

Looks like Mystique is gonna get bored - she enjoyed taking the mick' (see, I didn't say the urine word or even try to block it out with stars :)) and swearing on here...and claimed she could get away with it all.

Hi Res.

It's a good job I just read this, because I was about to lay into J-42 with a barrage of uncivil speech.

oh hi, i hope to enjoy my stay here on the jolly old SR forums.

Hello new person - welcome to the forums. ;-))

Rules have been fully noted!!!

Try and survive a bit without being banned (you should manage it if you keep comments about Nintendo constructive and don't hint to the fact that you used to be Res), and then try again.

How about VampX without the ~'s, or is the ~ a trademark of yours?
