Okay, so a couple of weeks back Snuggly did his "Please Read This All Of You" topic about swearing, abuse e.t.c being used on the forums. Everyone did their usual thing agreeing with the staff member, and now were back to normal. People are saying c$ap, p*ss &ff e.t.c. and some people are banned for certain swearing and abuse whilst others aren't.

What happened to the thing of no one using it, and everyone being treated the same for using it ? Seems to have gone wayward. Fair enough, there will always be people new to the forums who use it, but it's still regulars using it most of the time.

It's not like people need swear words to make good topics is it ? Yes, probably plenty of us here have heard it all before and worse, but is it that essential to use on here ?

Whether we can or cannot swear on here, the way it is treated should be consistent, not just banning newbies...
