I think that Belldandy has already noted what I am about to say, but in the the light of certain threads (not least http://ukchatforums.reserve.co.uk/display_messages.php? (space)threadid=55913&forumid=416 )that have appeared over the past 2 days I think it need reiterating
This was written by a staff member only a few weeks ago, and as I remember there were no objections raised to it at the time. So why aren't the staff doing what they said they would? There are several posters who have used exactly the type of language that was mentioned above. If it doesn't get through the swear filter then it shouldn't be used.
Come on Staff are you scared to do anything about it. If you keep making statements like the above and not carrying out your threats then what sort of respect are we expected to have for you?

Ok here is the rundown.
The staff said no swearing.
Some people swore.
They never got banned.
But does anyone really mind about the little swear words? It annoys me when people start using the F word about other people and things. But when people are talking about maybe saying ar$e, does anyone really mind?
SR are trying to protect the children, but in my opinion they are already corrupted.

You have a point there, I hadn't thought about that.
Somehow I doubt it, but if that is the case then why do certain people get away with it time and time again?

okau what I was saying was the staff have said no swear words. the staff threatened to ban if people didn't stop using swear words, the staff didn't ban people using swear words.
Where is there a comment there on weather or not I advocate the use of swearing?
keep with the plot man!

Let's get some perspective here We're on a CHAT forum, a FORUM, of CHAT.
During everyday, real-life chat, a swear word or two probably slips in there, and when it does, we don't pick up on it, and complain to the person who did it.
SO, chillllllllll, and may swear words run riot. :D

Wooooooooah hold you Horses there Tonto, I'm not criticising anyone. I'm just saying lets all calm down a wee bit, I can understand what you're saying about the whole equality thing, I just think everyone needs to calm down a likkle bit.
Some of these punks deserve to be banned, so when they swear it's Special Reserves opportunity to pounce, some don't, it's not as if it's constant f*** this f*** that. For all you know they may have received warnings already.
I need to go and sit down, I almost made sense there.
