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?

This sort of comment annoys me.
I know its only an internet chat forum, I use it to provide myself with a nice distraction from work and my boyfriend.
I don't need you to tell me not to take it so seriously, I don@t need to be patronised if that is what you intended.
I will take it seriously within the context of the forum if I want to, Since I very rarely take anything seriously, I find it annoying that you presume to critise me for this.
Its not going to ruin my day, but why should the fact this is a chat forum mean I can't take anything seriously? You have just dissmissed any comment I made by saying its only an internet forum.
do you see what I mean.
I can't seem to explain what I mean very well, which is why I have gone on a bit. Sorry

I'm sorry I have to say this, what's so offensive about someone saying ar$e?
I know Special Reserve have their reasons, but ar$e?
They have that kind of language on day time TV nowdays.

Your not exactly arguing against my point. The staff have said no one should swear and it is their forum so they have a right to say what they like. I am complaining about the fact they made a hollow threat that they don't seem willing to back up.

People should just stop getting so PC. Its not as if a family sit around their computer browsing our messages and getting upset when somebody swears. SR do the swear filter out of princible.
Just calm down...
Just calm down...
